Miles on the truck! 170k And after the EGR Fiasco A co-worker who used to be an auto mechanic told me 70-80% of issues with newer cars these days is due to emissions. After three differential pressure switches since I've owned the truck and talking to him, he's the one who said replace it all...

So I see your username is Airline Tech I'm assuming you are an A&P I also an A&P 20 years and past 5 years in space industry anyways the sound that it was kind of making sounded like a stick Shaker on an aircraft yoke when you're stalling. Whatever the hell it is I'm glad It's fixed. I was...

Well guys and gals You won't believe this one The noise I've been hearing at wide open throttle appeared to be the spark plugs just zapping away. I replaced the Spark plugs And I replaced the rear O2 sensor And the problem is fixed. Whether it was replacement of both or one or the other I have...

Read your post... my truck seems to be doing exactly the same thing 2019 Ranger 170,000 MI only get the clicking shuttering sound at wide open throttle, the check engine light flashes but then goes away and throws no code. if I drive normal it doesn't occur. took it to the dealership, it sat...

Again I apologize. I appreciate the feedback

The noise is pretty loud at the turbo the linkage arm on the turbo does rattle with the engine off but does the same with the engine on I grabbed that linkage while running and the noise stayed the same. Seems to be fairly loud at the housing where the transmission connects to the engine on the...

Where are you coming up with this nonsense

Here's one for you so about a year ago my USB ports stopped working making it where I cannot connect my phone and listen to music Etc.. So I went to the dealership today for the SYNC update and the SYNC update must be done through the USB port so they cannot do the update unless I fix the USB...

I think I got a pretty good recording of the noise I have. Is it the rev limiter kicking in? Ranger is garbage so disappointed in this truck 2 years to fix the EGR issue and now this

Almost sounds like a loose heat shield but much louder and then the transmission or the truck losing its acceleration kind of drove me away from a loose heat shield. With that being said I have not gone underneath the truck and poked around looking for something loose

Pretty sure I have the same noise only when I go wide open throttle but at the same time the truck bucks, like loss of drive. I don't know if it's the transmission bogging or originally I thought it was associated with my EGR problem but the Bucking is much more violent at wide open throttle

Been thinking the same as for a filter of some sort inline. Kind of felt like if I did put some kind of filtration that it would affect the pressure readings, but I don't know. Everyone is obsessed with moisture in the system, when I replaced my sensor the third time I replaced the EGR tube as...

With it off the vehicle I would hope!!

It's not fun but fully doable you just have to lay on top of the engine it's in very back seven mounting locations on the tube two on the actuator flange one above it two more Downstream and then the other end flange which is two more bolts yes you need new gaskets as far as my tube I was going...

No I wouldn't suggest at all to clean it in place the tube has to be removed if you're going to clean it and soaked I don't know what kind of solution, mineral spirits, acetone I don't know I didn't want to deal with it I just bought the new tube
