I changed my spark plugs and you heard right. #4 is a bear to get back the coil on properly the first time. You will feel a click when it goes down over the plug properly. As I am altitudinally challenged, I had to stand on a step stool and lay on the engine. After I missed putting it back...

Where are you located in the 'Old Sod'? We will be there for a week in August, flying into Edinburgh and spending most of our time in the west around Fort William/Isle of Skyy. That's a fine looking Ranger. The first one I ever saw was in Manchester a few years before they were available here...

Your truck retained its value pretty well. I bought my '19 XLT as a Certified Pre Owned vehicle in '20 for $29K, and that's how many miles I have on mine now. I am encouraged!

Pretty sure this is where Inga mentions that the monster would have an "enormous Schwanzstucker". Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying.Inga: Woof.Igor: He's going to be very popular.

I am guessing you have the same issue I had with my 2019 FX4 XLT. The dealer reflashed the computer several times. Next time you drive it, either activate 'Tow Mode" (if you have that option) or drive it in sport mode and see if you have the same issue. If not, your problem is likely not the...

Your experiences with dealers are exactly what I experienced with the Ford dealers in Pinellas County Florida. I purchased my 2019 in June 2020 with 12K miles as a CPO vehicle. It is important to note that I was experiencing the 'bucking/shuddering/lugging issue, not an actual transmission...

I worked in the auto parts retail business for a few years, and can attest that OEM is the best way to go - IF you can afford it. The specs are usually off a bit, but within SAE standards. It's on, it's getting sold later this year before the extended warranty runs out and the broken taillight...

About five years ago, I came home from a grocery run and discovered a hole in my left taillight about the size of a nickel. When I learned that replacement from Ford was $1200, I slapped a piece of red duct tape over it and forgot about it. Last week, I chanced to look and found an aftermarket...

Recently, I got a new set of hearing aids. About then, I noticed that the warning sounds I get from my front bumper sensors have gone tinny. I just assumed it was my hearing aids failing to process the sounds correctly. Yesterday I asked my wife if the alarms sounded tinny and she said yes...

My concern is that with the rear end higher than the front, that the exhaust (and EGR) may not have a positive drainage to the rear.

I was driving yesterday and saw water dripping from the exhaust of a vehicle in front of me and it made me think about the moisture issue we are having. The truck is raked with the back end higher than the front end. What is the likelihood that that is causing moisture to run forward instead...

I just swapped out the 17 month old sensor, same one I shook water out of two weeks ago, and got more moisture out of the sensor. I rigged my shop vac to fit over the hoses and ran it for a few seconds - no idea if I got any moisture out or not - then installed the new aftermarket part (VP-1...

After clearing the moisture out of the lines and the DPFE sensor a couple weeks ago, the bucking behavior is back. I got a replacement DPFE sensor from RockAuto (under $18 plus shipping) but before I put it on, what can be done to catch the moisture before it gets into the sensor? I had thought...

Back in the 70s I was a service writer for Chevrolet and there was definitely a warranty rate that Chevrolet would pay - to a point - that was lower than the shop rate ($17 an hour!!). But we had a factory rep to whom we could appeal to get more money for warranty work that required more time...

There is a thread about that issue, not transmission related but a symptom of a bad EGR DPFE sensor. In my case (having lost faith and trust in dealers) I changed the DPFE valve myself. The price in April 23 was under $20, it is now close to $80. I took the one I put 17 months ago off because...

I reached out to Ford and the update from the link does indeed come from Alom.

I have had few issues with the front collision system, although 99% of the warnings I get are false. I got two map upgrades from a company called Alom dot com for $40 each. You have to provide your ESN (get it in the SYNC 3 onscreen system info) You get a thumb drive that takes some time to...

Update: I put it all back together and it fixed the problem. Next time (and I can only assume there will be a next time) I will do what I should have and vacuumed out the two tubes to remove any moisture lurking there. I am going to contact the Ford Rep to mention that this is an issue that...

My first one quit before 12,400 miles, which was the mileage when I bought it, and I suspect that is the reason it was traded in.

8 Sep 24 Update: We just came home after a three week trip overseas. Driving home from the airport, I noticed the bucking again at low speeds that were not noticed at highway speeds, just like before. Today, I took the sensor and hoses off and found water in both hoses (a few drops, more in...
