Lariat 2 wheel drive with soft bedcover, 4,300 feet elevation, 36psi tires and flames on the doors. Don't kid yourself, those flames make it burn cleaner. That and the Wounded Warrior blanket covering the back seat. Computer says. 29.9 Hiway@ 75mph 23 City, running AC half the time. 87 Octane

I have a little vibration from a start, but a steady vibration at about 70mph. Will watch this thread and see what develops.

Thanks to P.A. Schilke, Dahveed and the rest of you. Makes me feel better about doing my own oil changes again. May last car 2015 Fusion which was very comfortable and trouble free was so close to the ground it was hard to get under and do anything. The Ranger is easy.

Hi Phil, I live in Sierra Vista AZ, not far from Green Valley just one problem a mountain range between us. My question is If I change my own oil (which I have done for years) and have a turbo or engine failure of some sort will Ford refuse to fix the problem under warranty?. The dealer here...

SAZRanger said My earlier post I left something very important out. I was recommending a brand most of all. The video was about 5w 20 oil, I was not recommending that weight. Our Rangers call for 5w 30 SN Plus and the SN Plus is important. Think about all the high end performance cars from...

I encourage to check it out anyhow. It comes in a tube like caulk but it's much tougher than caulk. Let it dry with a weight on it to keep it down. This is not the stuff you see on tv, its usually found at building supple stores. I have used tubes and tubes of it. What ever you use make sure...

The 2.3L only has one very high pressure injector which injects right into the cylinder, I wish we also had an injector in the intake manifold just behind the intake valve to wash the egr return gasses from building up on the back side of the intake valve. Almost all cars now use direct...

Was that edge ever snagged on anything? Look into Through the Roof sealant. http://www.sashco.com/marketing/trf/index.html

Two videos to watch, first one called Ford Wireless Keypad install on 2013 Mustang GT w/ programing he also shows how to program keypad and keys. Older video but should still apply to vehicles today. ++++++++ Next video is called Now Introducing the Simple Key™ - For Ford, Lincoln, Mercury &...

Ford’s Ranger should be at the very top of your list if you want to buy American. The survey takes into account a wide variety of factors including the percentage of American and Canadian parts found in a given vehicle, where it's assembled, where the company's headquarters are located, and...

I live in Arizona and have noticed this to some degree also. I mostly drive in the city, a small city and speeds rarely are above 45-50. What I do is leave it in normal drive mode and push the minus button on the shifter once to turn on Progressive Gear Selection mode, the gear indicator shows...

Never got me lost but doesn't understand what I'm saying worth a dam. I upgraded maps a few weeks ago and no improvement in voice recognition. I'm from Arizona which has no special accent. If they can't get it to understand better, this is my last in car map system.

This is in addition to my last entry just a few minutes ago concerning catch cans vs oil separators. I meant to include as well. Sorry about that.

From what I understand catch cans still pass some oil vapor but it is considered an improvement. I have attached two video links that I think are worth watching. The first one is short, about 3.5 minutes the other is longer and from a guy that has an interesting way of explaining things but...

About a half a mile before I get home I turn off the AC but leave the AC blower on. When I get home I let it idle for about 20 seconds or so while I decide what should be taken in the house and what is left in Ranger. Then I pop the hood release, shut off the engine and go to the hood and...

I updated my maps last weekend, almost went wrong. Followed the instructions to make the USB as directed. A Ford dealer video I watched said it would take about an hour or a little over. Right on schedule (about 80 minutes) I got a message saying the map update was complete. I was driving at...

Incredible video from Australia I'm guessing. My favorite part starts at 4:49 minutes into the video and ends at 6:30, but enjoy the whole thing, its great. The Australians love their Rangers!

Ranger 2.3L comes with an Oil Separator under the intake manifold. For now I'm sticking with that and changing my oil every 5000 with good synthetic oil. Locating a catch can much higher in the engine compartment than where the supply or pick up line is located concerns me. Oil might...

Thanks for answering. That was my thinking too, with the same game plan. Just looking for other owners opinions.

Sorry if Im doing this wrong this is my first time using forums. Since a catch can is really just an oil separator, and the 2.3L has a built in oil separator under the intake manifold. Do you still need a catch can. The one built into the 2.3L Ranger engine doesn't need emptying. It drains...
