Odd. I had problems when I first bought my truck (september '22). I have used a carlinkit from the beginning. At some point, mine began working just fine though. I believe it was an iOS update which fixed it for me. There are some forums that suggest ios updates were at fault, and that the...

I know the 5th gen ranger wheels and hubs use a 6x5.5 bolt pattern and have a 93.1mm center bore with a +55 offset (thanks to the Ranger Station for having a lot of info). I'm curious what other vehicles have OEM wheels that will fit WITHOUT the use of adapters or spacers? I see modern...

Inb4 someone else suggests a damper for the tailgate.

I was handed this chart by a Canadian coworker once. Based on the chart they are probably called Quarter Pounders in Canada: My personal favorite thing about the chart is that it sometimes says "imperial" or "metric", and sometimes says the actual units to use. This inconsistency seems to...

@Fitzmotor I would very much like to get on 'the list' to purchase one of these. I hadn't followed the thread in a while but it kept popping up on the 'most recent posts' lists so I finally decided to take a look. Looks great! I haven't checked my fluid level ever due to the fear of death and...

One thing to note, when you cut it out make sure to cut on the OUTSIDE of the outline. If you cut the inside of the outline, there will be too much plastic left (the plug clips to the metal bumper backing).

Aftermarket hitch is a lot easier to install, and will have a higher tongue weight (asterisk). I've got a Reese hitch with a 1125 pound tongue weight. 'course I'll never exceed 750 or so on the tongue, but nice to know it's available. Not really clear to me if Reese's rating supersedes Ford's...

Someone will probably do it with the MT88. Should match up with the 2.3L no problem, but for 4wd you will have to swap in a bronco transfer case I think? And when you swap in the Bronco transfer case you'd have to make a choice about enabling the '4A' mode (not sure if anything else would need...

Check the battery voltage at all three points here: The main battery is a solid circle. After the main fuse is circled with a dashed line. After the secondary fuse is surrounded by a square (somebody can tell me what the 225A and 125A fuses are for, probably the bigger one runs to the starter...

There's a chance you blew the main fuse in the truck. Easy fix, unless of course it blows again. Get a voltmeter and check the voltage of the battery. Check the voltage both directly on the battery terminals as well as just 'after' the fuse. If it is reporting ~12.2 volts or more it should be...

I was assuming that it had something to do with dampers. I am also disappointed.

We finally had a good long rain last night (Iowa has been in a horrible drought still). The cab did not have its normal post-rain musty smell, like at all, so it was indeed the carpet and leaves that was causing the odor issue. Hooray.

Welp, I got it done today. Like Porpoise suggests, you can pull the carpet slightly into the bed of the truck. Once you have access to the hole in the carpet from the rivet, drop a good quality rope (I used some old scrap of sailboat line that I had), tie through the hole, then pull! The...

I do like that as a fix. Up here in the midwest we are in the salt belt though. That carpet is going to trap water and ice and salt all winter long, and hold it up against the side of the cab and the bed even if I did the pipe insulation trick. I may still do it just to keep crap from landing...

I got the carpet partially pulled today. I managed to cut two of the three plastic rivets, and used some trim removal tools to get the carpet unglued. I pulled a part of the carpet into the bed. I guess I'll tie a rope to it to start pulling it out the top. But, I cannot for the life of me get...

Old thread but just want to say thanks to @Porpoise Hork for posting the removal info. And to call other owners' attention to it now that fall is on its way. I was moving some stuff with my truck the other day and somehow got to thinking, "gee I wonder if I dropped my phone down this gap, how I...

You might be able to rent a Uhaul pickup truck (Silverado 1500/Sierra 1500 with a V8) to tow your car with a uhaul flatbed trailer. They're not a bad deal, I've rented their pickups in the past, before I bought my Ranger. They run fine. Could be an option if you don't have a friend with a...

Hehe. I ordered mine from stage3, I think it was ~36-48 hours from order to delivery. It's about the only benefit of living in Midwest, shipping from pretty much anywhere in the US gets here fast.

Sorry to hear that. I should have taken a video of the blown shock: I could wipe it dry, then compress it fully between my arms. When I released it and let it expand, there would be a dribble of oil on the shock body. Quite amazing that the seals failed so soon.

I finished the passenger shock in about 10 minutes this morning. I jacked the truck up by the frame rail, forward of the rear wheel. This made it super duper duper easy. Getting the eibach in meant I only had to compress it about 1-1.5 inches, which was totally doable to my weak self. I used a...
