Is adding the Lubegard something I can do myself? I know my old Mountaineer has a fill spout where I check transmission fluid under the hood... never looked to see if the Ranger has one under the hood. I know there are women out there who are not mechanically challenged, but other than checking...

Now I'm wondering if he was giving me an estimated price on just a fluid change. Will have to call next week and inquire when I make my appt for the oil change and 20,000 miles service.

Do you think I'm being ridiculously cautious having it done now at 20,500 miles? Maybe wait until 30,000 for a flush? I asked the service counter guy about cost last time I was at the Ford dealer and off the top of his head, he told me around $400.

My 2021 Ranger now has 20,500 miles on it. No noticeable problems with the transmission, but want to stay off any so planned to have fluid changed at 20,000. So which are you all having done, a Flush or just Fluid Change? Also, what is the name of that stuff you all recommend adding ...

Flew over our house a few times back in the mid-90's. Haven't seen it since.

I know what you mean about the Hankooks. I am just shy of 20,000 miles on the truck and I think I might get one more year out of these tires (I only drive about 4,500 miles/year).

Yes, I have a front aftermarket camera (although it's marketed as a back up camera)! My brother installed it for me. Yes, it does require a manual switch plugged in 12v. My brother probably took longer to install it than what some of the reviewers on Amazon said it took them, but he did a...

Geesh, when I had the transmission rebuilt on my 2003 Mountaineer at about 110,000 miles, they gave me a 3 year warranty.

When I take my Ranger in for yearly inspection and/or oil change at Ford service department, I have to "tell" them to use my FordPass points at payment time. Last time I forgot, could have kicked myself for forgetting. OR are you saying you tell them to use your points, you walk out of there...

I'm pretty sure the it is 38 lbs if I were to be exact. I got the TrailFX brand. Thick and no smell like some of the cheaper ones. Used to get some in years ago and if we were putting a cap on the customer's truck too, you would lift the cap door and the smell from the rubber mat was awful.

I have a 21 XLT 4x4 model and I had the Eibach's put on the rear as well and that did make some noticeable improvement in the ride. I tried putting a couple sand bags in the rear for weight, but I didn't like it (can't remember why LOL) so took them out and decided to try a rubber bed mat in the...

Here you go! A diagram how to install the safety straps.

I think they are the safety straps for if the build in clamps fail when going down the road so the tonneau doesn't fly off. Been a few years since one of the shop guys helped me install mine so I don't remember where/how they are fastened. If I remember tomorrow, I'll take a flash light and peek...

When we have a customer come in the store looking for a tonneau, we try to find what they use their truck bed for and are they looking for something for added security or just to get cargo out of sight and out of the weather. Our best seller of any style is the Extang Trifecta 2.0 (tri-fold...

According to the article, the rate of depreciation varies drastically between segments, with electric vehicles now losing 58.8% of their value after 5 years, and trucks and hybrids only losing about 40% of their new vehicle value. Ford Ranger came in at losing 34.7% of their value after 5 years...

Exxon. Why for me.... well, I live pretty rural and it's the only name brand gas station on my daily drive, plus it's also a quick-mart type store that has the best coffee. So I stop to grab a coffee on my way to work and if I need gas, I get it there too.

I think I know what/where you are talking about.... I had some surface rust near that circle weld in rear wheel wells. I cant remember the name of the can of rust eater stuff, but I sprayed it on and let it dry and then where the surface rust was it turned to what looked like a white powder...

As long as it's not a taller 4x4 parking next.

Update, March 2025! Well I think my issue is more of a combination of tire/no weight back of truck than a transmission issue. Since road has been dry, I have not experienced the problem again. I have the 18" Hancooks (original to truck) still with almost 18,000 miles on them. When the time...

UPDATE: Had truck in yesterday for "the works" oil change and state inspection. While there they checked transmission fluid level and fluid sample. Level was good and fluid looked fine (no metal chips or anything). No codes showing up for past 60 days. Of course they said they couldn't...
