Yesterday, actually. I had been replacing batteries in my remote keypad every month for the last three months so I took the Ranger into the dealer to program a new one. The first one lasted over 6 years on the original battery. When they were done, they performed a complete inspection and sent me a video of it. They found the right rear axle seal was starting to leak and since I have the extended warranty that the work was covered. I could see it on the video. Next week I will drop if off for the seal repair and pick up a rental vehicle, covered under warranty, to drive since I live 30 miles from the dealer.

Finally got my ‘21 Tremor’s original battery changed. It’s been going to low power/save the battery mode for the last 5-6 months. A/S/S hasn’t activated for about a year. Had them put in the Lariat spec.
Had my '21 XLT 5 years and 4 days, traded it in with the original battery.

Crawled under the truck today to clean of some road kill goop that got all over everything. I noticed some "play" in the rear axle. There will obviously be some but not sure what's considered normal. Just now approaching 100k miles. Did a diff fluid change 20k miles ago and the oil didn't look too bad.

I am just like my Dad lol. I didn't wait for the ATs to wear out. I went to Quick Lane and had Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT all season highway tires put on it. One of the times that I should have left well enough alone. Oh well.

These will last longer on the highway, where it lives.

My black Go-Rhino exhaust didn’t last long either.

Got the truck back from the local Topper specialists. Had the two side slider windows changed to side “windoors”. Should be much more convenient for retrieving gear from the truck bed. Also had them replace the rear door seals and main seal on bed. As a bonus they cleaned up my messy wiring for done light and third brake light. Still have a middle slider for venting while camping.
