Tell @scorp, it was a damper problem..Bit of a project today on ranger. I did the original service on this truck before I bought it and I didn't notice the mode door making noise until a few days after I had bought it, everything worked fine but when I shut the truck off I could hear a buzzing noise. Traced it down to the mode door binding plus it was setting a B1086:07 code which is for Air Distribution Damper Motor component fault, which is a bit misleading as the motor works fine but because something was binding it could not move freely.
So while I still had my 60 day warranty I pulled the dash and replaced the whole upper air box assembly. Wasn't a horrible job took right at 4 hours, I was able to get the air box out and back in without evacuating the AC or removing the heater core which saved a bunch of time. Everything back together working great and I can tell a difference when I select full floor mode.
I live in the salt belt and I'm replacing the plastic bed rails and plastic tailgate top with Line-x. My old ranger rusted out badly under them. The whole box top disintegrated.I had the drop in bed liner replaced with Line-X. I had the same spray bed liner on my old Ram 1500 and loved it. They did a great job of prep work including prepping all the threaded holes before coating. I have a swing box showing up and I thrilled I won’t have to retap those!
One thing I didn’t expect is that the drop in liner had spacers on the tailgate access panel so I need to replace those screws or throw some washers in.
What do you plan to do with all those holes? Gonna look like crap unless you fill them in.
Sorry Ed....there is no gauge or readout for oil pressure on the Fords....not the gauge, but it's the lack of info from the truck's puter.Temporarily mounted my Scan Guage III and went for a ride. Works nice but haven't found an oil pressure Gauge in it yet. Still have to set up the screens.
Thanks, I can quit searching. Surprised they don't have an actual sensor. I love the gauge. Just have to move it to the center tray when it warms up so the clips are a little more flexible. I am afraid where I have it wouldn't be good if the airbags went off. Thanks for recommending it
Forscan can read the engine oil pressure, if that helps.
They do have an engine oil pressure sensor and it can be displayed in Forscan.
We're heading back to Mexico today so Annie can get her dental implants and I'm getting the crown my first one and starting another one. It's not a bad drive (2.5 hrs) but it's super boring once you hit I-8 from Gila Bend all the way into Yuma. There's nothing but open desert and an occasional train to see.
A train? Wow, I missed that the few times I‘ve driven that stretch - you must be taking the scenic route.Checked and added air to the tires at 4:00 am. ? I saw they were all 3 lbs low yesterday and had it on my list but forgot to double check it.
Thanks Duke. The cargo trains run on the south side when you're heading down towards Yuma. It's a pretty boring stretch with no good sights to look at. I guess the graffiti on them is nice to look at. lolA train? Wow, I missed that the few times I‘ve driven that stretch - you must be taking the scenic route.
Have a safe trip Dave.
