  1. Bucking/Surging Epidemic

    My truck is at the dealer on Day 2 now. 2019 XLT FX4 w/82k miles. I replaced the DPFE, had all fluids replaced about 20k miles ago. Bucking, hesitating specifically between 3d and 4th gear when not at full throttle. Last visit about 4 months ago, the tech said he reprogrammed the throttle...
  2. Low pitch noise (like blowing over the top of a beer bottle)

    I'll check that tomorrow morning. Thanks
  3. Low pitch noise (like blowing over the top of a beer bottle)

    I am trying to determine if the truck always does this and I am just noticing it because I was listening to an audiobook for once, or if it's an issue. When driving 70-80mph and letting off of the accelerator I get this low pitch noise/howl (sounds like wind noise or blowing over the top of a...
  4. Ranger sightings rare in US

    Seeing a lot of Rangers here on the Front Range of Colorado
  5. I want to encourage new Ranger owners/potential owners

    Demons take up residence in every BMW at 75k miles - and they are never the same....
  6. I want to encourage new Ranger owners/potential owners

    I’m at 18 months and 24k miles. River crossings, highways, deep snow, and mountain jeep trails - 4 oil changes and one alignment so far. Can’t complain
  7. Installed rear Bilstein’s

    Okay, finally got out there today with the new Bilstein's on the rear. VAST improvement. Low speed compression is firmer - which is good because it dampens the wallowing the FX4 shocks have which made any given road bump an adventure. The ride is slightly firmer, but it is good in the sense...
  8. Installed rear Bilstein’s

    Thanks for that, I'll go back them off a bit. Only torque specs I could find were from a lift mod online manual, they were calling for 70 ft-lbs which seemed high, so I went a little lower. Measure with a micrometer and chop it with an axe.
  9. Installed rear Bilstein’s

    Put my rears on yesterday, but have yet to drive due to Snowmaggedon here in Colorado. Speaking of torque, couldn't find any specs so I went with 65 ft-lbs
  10. Installed rear Bilstein’s

    Damn you people, starting reading this thread 4 days ago; Bilstein's just arrived at my door today :bandit:
  11. Installed rear Bilstein’s

    Interesting....last time I installed Bilsteins was on my OJ '96 Bronco. Quick question as a Ranger noob....The Engineers made a big deal about how the FX4 shocks were specifically tuned for off-roading. Any opinions on how changing the rear shocks will affect offroad performance? I had my...
  12. Cold weather really kills mileage

    I guess I’m a little different of a driver. I live in Colorado and drive to work once a week (I fly planes for a living) - 70 miles one way. I’m averaging 22-25 mpg consistently for the past 14 months I’ve owned my XLT FX4. Iā€˜ve even hit 27 mpg average. When I’m around town I’m getting just over...
