There is a specific tool on Amazon for about $25.00 that makes the retraction a whole lot easier.
Some thread on here say a proper brake bleed helps with the soft pedel issue... milage may vary.
Yes, I'm skeptical, but even at 25% and using 3 or 4 tie downs to manage a load (refrigerator, stove, lumber... whatever) would be 1000 lbs and those items would not seem to need that much to manage.... unless you want to go 70mph on clover leaf on ramp... lol
Absolutely agree. That was my...

If I read this right, each ring is rated at 1000 lbs. Sounds hefty to me...
Yours is decidedly more to the "left" than mine... My guess: the "move it 4.5" to the left" was interpreted as take the center of the tongue and move it that distance from the center of the bar. Seems reasonable from a engineering/CAD thought process. But it could have meant, move it such that...
Well I finally removed the front hitch cover (see photo above) hoping it would be the "problem"... nope still an issue. So definitely go 5 to 5.5 inches to the right of center instead of the 4.5 recommended. It's either that, OR the install moved the sensor around and needs to be recalibrated...
Saw this thread today and got me thinking I should change them just because. The my 2019 Ranger just under 10K on it and as 2019, has the engine cover so the spark plug wells SHOULD be dry-ish. But going on 6 years and never been out of the head.... saw other posts where the plugs can kinda self...
I know it's splitting hairs, but we were talking cat... stock vs high flow... not a bigger downpipe, etc. The point was that cat is NOT the power stealer it's made out to be. I'm sure the bigger pipe, mandrel bending, etc. WILL make a good bit of difference (it does on one of my cars). But cat...
Modern OEM cats seem to cost most engines just 3 hp... for the cost of a new downpipe with high flow cat, IMO, not worth the trouble. Maybe when the OEM cat clogs up or rusts out and needs replacing, OK.

I also have the FPT since the truck was new. I'm happy with it... not a track monster but DD is just right. If your going for max effort tune, there are better options than the FPT.
Yes, it is a self install... as least here in Minnesota. If I was in Adelaide, I might let Trec do it if the price is right. It's a little putsy but not hard and the directions are quite good.

I have 2 sets of wheels and tires... summer & winter... (275/55R20 & 275/60R18 on OEM rims, respectively) 5 in each set. They fit perfectly in the spare tire location. My driving is much as yours is.
I swap them as close to May 1st & Nov 1st as possible including the spare.

Regarding airlinetech's thread... scroll down to the bottom of his post where he has two updates... you only need the latest one. Tells the likely cause, and how to "trick" it into resetting the "stuff" that is causing the problem rather than waiting 10 minutes to reset itself.
Yes, it is...
As was noted in a previous post a year or so ago, my rear brakes lasted 7K miles!! They were shot, rotors rusty (mostly on the back side), looked like the parking brake stuck some...
Obviously I replaced pads and rotors with PowerStop rotors and pads. After two full winters, not a mark on them...
Added a NOCO Genius2D battery tender with the plug mounted in the rear bumper (I back in, in front of the garage so the extension cord from there is very short).
All the extra stuff stopped working to conserve battery (ASS, Remote start, etc.) Plugged it in at 3:30pm, and by 9:00pm battery was...
