What did you do to your Ranger today?

Looks much better than yesterday's picture Clay. lol Now all you need is some Graphene on there and it'll really shine.

On the upside, ya'll have gotten me in the habit of washing my truck more often than I used to. Full Credit to my R5G family for making me want to put more effort into the appearance of my truck, and keeping it looking decent.

Looks good Joel. Reminds me of one of my favourite breakfast spots when I lived in Vancouver. I’m sure some of the members from BC will have eaten at De Dutch Pannekoek House on occasion.

I always went for a savoury option with ham, bacon, hash browns, and eggs. Roll it up like a crepe, smother it with pancake syrup, and dig in.

Ha - and some of you folks thought Poutine was strange.

That looks awesome.

I won't be flaming you except for to say I wonder why you haven't traded out of it yet if you're continually having a check engine light to deal with.
Get something else youre gonna be more comfortable with in the long run. Hopefully you can make that happen sooner than later.

Not going to trade it off. It's paid for and it's my retirement truck. No way I'm making payments again! And the value on these has deteriorated so bad can't sell it for enough to buy a real truck! So Fix and Bitch! That's why I bought a Ford right.

I feel for ya hopefully the right dealer can find the root cause or if you don't want payments maybe you should consider trading it for an older Toyota or other brand you deem more reliable it might save your sanity? I assume you are past your 3/36?

If you do trade it check the boards of the truck you are considering,

Bought a revolution motorsports turbo inlet off of Facebook and a member here. He also had a mishimoto intake and figured "why not". It was delivered on Saturday, it all looks brand new and packed superbly well. I get up this morning and get to taking everything out. Unfortunately one of the hoses to the stock inlet tube has some sort of permanent connection. I could have fiddled with it but I did not want to crack a hose on a Sunday. I decided to put the stock inlet pipe back on and continued on with the mishimoto intake install. I'll call the dealer to buy a hose to have on standby incase I break this one.

I'm happy with the fit and finish of the mishimoto. Can't say I notice any seat of the pants gains but it looks pretty slick under the hood.

Thanks to the helpful members here at Ranger5g I just made my order for the Bulletpoint dash mounting system I never knew I needed!

Finally put on the new wipers on and installed the engine and cabin filters as well. Easy peasy.

Curious if the glove box damper is another one of the "deleted items"? I knew where the cabin filter was so I opened the glove box all the way to access it. Then I wasn't sure how to open the access cover and I didn't want to break anything so I watched a quick vid on youtube. The guy says the first thing you need to do it disconnect the cord on the damper....wait what hold up? I figured maybe the last time I was in for service, the lube tech forgot to re-attach it. Went and got a flashlight, nope, not there. In the vid the guy said his Ranger was a 2020. No matter, installed the filter and moved on.

My '19 XLT had the glove box damper.
My '21 XLT does not.

At my 52K oil change, I had the coolant flushed and replaced ( not drain and fill).
