Congratulations! So how many transmissions, turbos, drive shafts and cylinder blocks have you had to replace? ?

Jacob has 100000 miles and 171 posts over 4 years.
Its clear he drives his truck and doesn't hang out here complaining.
Congrats on the milestone, I have many years to go before I get that far.

Definitely drive the hell out of my ranger. Unfortunately not trouble free I’ll list below:

upgrades:
- aftermarket engine cover
- NGK spark plugs
- Turbosmart BOV
- Oil catch can
- bully dog 91 tune

cosmetic upgrades:
- “FORD” grill from Ford themselves. Says ranger on top too
- Rear diff cover
- side step rails
- Light bar
- LED lights on top
- weather tech bug deflector
- weather tech rain guards on windows
- one size bigger tires
- weather tech floor mats


issues:
- water in spark plugs. Hence why I bought the cover and such
- transmission issues (fixed with help of Ford and a good tranny flush)
- back passenger axle basically disintegrated, completely replaced
- lots of rear wheel speed sensors due to axle
- infotainment center is constantly needing to be restarted due to freezes.
- gas tank float failed (don’t need it fixed until inspection/smog after year 8)

all problems aside, I’ve got my danger ranger basically perfect at this point. I expect my turbo and tranny to eventually fail but hey if I can get up to 100k I can’t be mad. In fact, I’m going to go drive it another 120 miles for work right now haha

I took it to mean the passenger side axle shaft.
The rear brake calipers have a tendency to stick.

The rear axle shaft started to break apart. They think it started with the rear wheel speed sensor and the baring it uses to read the speed. If your truck is eating the speed sensors, have ford look at the axle. Might save the $1000 repair bill
