  1. Battery Replacement Recommendations

    if you are near a city that has one, battery specialty shops have always been very good to me. Our long time favorite retired but the replacement is just as good/ the people who have a shop that only sells batteries usually know their stuff and have low priced less heard of brands that last as...
  2. Builtright interior molle panel

    ive got A Skullvibes "tactical seatback" on my passenger seat (got to love the name hahaha) and i love it.. i have a water bottle stashed in the top pocket i can reach from the driver's seat... very handy holds all kinds of stuff once i put my pouches on it but it might crowd a passenger a...
  3. Normal Mileage for Factory Brake Pads?

    i had mine checked at 46,000 miles and they were still at 8mm, that is very little wear i think new is 9mm??. all 4 wheels were the same. at 54K now still seem fine. most of my driving is with a load on but on the freeway in light to no traffic, i rarely brake hard and it is dry here.
  4. Average life of the stock battery?

    only if you are really dumb like me// while the truck will shut off all accs after 10 minutes, if you leave the headlights in the ON but NOT "auto" position, they will stay on until the battery is dead. somehow i walked away without noticing that it does ding like mad if you take out the keys...
  5. Average life of the stock battery?

    that really sounds like a battery that needs to be replaced soon/ let us know how many more miles you get out of it, i'm curious because these are what others said are the indicators of a dying battery.
  6. Average life of the stock battery?

    i got my 2019 almost exactly a year ago. a month after i got it i left the headlights on overnight one time and that was it, dead battery. Not exactly relevant as the AGM battery will die if you run it down BUT the part that is relevant, the very knowledgeable guy at the battery supply warehouse...
  7. Chipped tail light

    i noticed a small chip in the middle of the edge of mine, looks like either i or previous owner hit it while loading something. small enough i can ignore it but yeah, design flaw in a few ways// definitely too easy to hit them while loading.
  8. A couple of things for Ford to consider ...

    a version of what you are suggesting is a memory card interface of some kind and it would be GREAT if we could instead of needing a phone, just add music to a folder, maps to a folder, etc on a card we can take in and out and add to from our computers and then be able to access them via apps...
  9. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    problem for me is using WIX filters which are very good but no one makes one of those that fits it well. Maybe i should swtich to oem... Where do you get the oem filters? this is another good alternative for me thanks//
  10. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    i think you said about the best thing one could, that sounds like it might help ill look into it. After way too many hours of trying to get a screwdriver in there i had such a hole in it i was able to grab it and turn it with some large vice grips. your way sounds better thanks. i like the look...
  11. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    changing my oil for the 4th time. i have been putting them on by hand and then using a cold wet rag to get the filter to shrink a little and it would come off but this time the engine never got warm first so that didnt work. an hour later im still trying to get a screwdriver to pierce it at the...
  12. MAP on strike and two others;

    i thin kthe argument is that when you are on the job for 10 years making $17 per hour and another guy who managed to get hired in 2006 is getting $30.. you feel like there is an inequality there... they have some weird cut off where everyone hired before 2007 gets nearly double what everyone...
  13. MAP on strike and two others;

    yeah i dont entirely get that part either BUT part of it is the "new hires" are anyone hired since 2007.. not exactly new workers... some of those people want raises for being on the job for 15 years...
  14. MAP on strike and two others;

    probably safe to assume the insanely high wage request is to leave room for negotiation/ 40% is absurd. We also may be being fed misinformation to some degree. Part of the deal is to get new hire salaries on par with longer term workers which translates into "40%"... Sad reality, whatever they...
  15. Yosemite Help

    just got back from one of many many many trips to Yosemite. looks like you got tons of info in the thread but i can not stress this enough : STAY IN THE PARK. having to get up at dawn and drive at least an hour every day to get in before the lines and parking is a real pain. pay whatever it...
  16. Cargo light button

    oh sorry / it lets you shut off al lthe lgihts that come on when you hit the lock etc. there are a few levels of it but so far we only try level one. i love it because going camping i hate all those extra lights that come on every time you open a door lighting up the campsite and wasting the...

  18. Forscan users?

    im using a pretty old very small 1.7 Ghz (single processor) windows 7 laptop with 4gb ram and it works fine. not super fast but well enough and i have the license, i used it for dark mode and chimes etc
  19. Checking the oil level

    because i had so much trouble getting a good reading from my dipstick: look at the back side of it. third oil change always putting in exactly 6.2 qts but no matter how many times i wipe the stick it came out looking Way overfilled. look at the backside and i see a correct reading at the right...
  20. Ford Tie Down Hook -Talk about price gouging....

    i have the 6ft bed, they are good for keeping cardboard from flying out the sides and also help keep a mesh cover stay tighter to the truck when i go camping or have debris in back BUT to your point: there are those holes you can hook into, i dont Need the strong tie down hooks for the middle...
