  1. Transmission slipping out of gear?

    Unfortunately, there have been no codes thrown that I know of. I'll find my OBDII reader and see if there are any codes that didn't manifest into a dash light if that's possible. It's something that has happened 3 times in 1700 miles or so, so diagnosing it without it being a common issue...
  2. Transmission slipping out of gear?

    First of all, I am going by a description given by my wife who has been driving the truck most often. The truck appears to drop out of gear while in drive. Gas pedal increases RPMs but no acceleration as if it is in neutral. It has happened 3 times. The first time was on an interstate and...
  3. Got my new Ranger a few days ago, should I keep the purchased extended warranties / maintenance?

    The dealership would not sell them if the average person got their money's worth out of them. They sell them to make money. I have bought 4 new vehicles over the past 20 years (not counting 2 still under standard warranty) and I have never had a situation where I would have used an extended...
  4. I will keep my gas powered Ford Ranger until the wheels fall off.

    Climates change. It happens. If it didn't, we'd be wearing winter coats in July...
  5. vin #

    If I am understanding what you mean, mine does the same thing in the center of the tailgate. I also thought it was strange.
  6. What should I pay?

    There isn't a whole lot of room between invoice and MSRP on these trucks. I was a bit surprised. Look for the price sheet on this board and add it up so you know going in. Those Internet prices are almost always with every possible discount, most of which you wouldn't qualify for unless you...
  7. 5000 mile oil changes?

    Oil is cheap. Engines are expensive.
  8. Installed Fox 2.0s Upfront today (in a parking lot)

    I wonder how long a professional mechanic with a lift would take to do this... I was quoted $520 including alignment for the full kit. Labor rate at the dealer is $130 plus shop fees, etc.
  9. Wheel-Well Cleaning

    I bought a small GreenWorks power washer from Lowes on sale for about $100. Came with a cheap foam cannon which works pretty well. Not the greatest, but it works for cars and small cleaning jobs outside. Worth it for $100...
  10. Torque Specs? About to install Fox 2.0s up front ..

    Short version: Oil consumption. 2018 bought new. From the first month of ownership, it was consuming oil. Approximately 1 quart every 1,000-1,500 miles. After months of consumption tracking, the dealer I bought it from blew me off and lied to me telling me that the GT was a "Ford Performance...
  11. Surprised by my gas mileage

    My Mustang GT and Ranger both have the same, min 87, 91 recommended language in the book. The Mustang always gets at least 89. Around here, 91 is hard to find at any Top Tier stations so I'll mix 89 and 93 in an every other tank cycle where I leave a few gallons in the bottom to mix old and...
  12. Torque Specs? About to install Fox 2.0s up front ..

    Ugh. I had a loaner for the mustang for over FIVE months. Took Ford that long to ship the new short block. I didn't even buy the car there - closest dealer to me is much like yours...
  13. Torque Specs? About to install Fox 2.0s up front ..

    Dealer I am using just replaced a short block in my Mustang -they can handle this... :)
  14. Torque Specs? About to install Fox 2.0s up front ..

    Kit doesn't come with everything you need? My kit is at the dealer who is doing this on Wednesday.
  15. Shocks and Struct labor cost

    I am having this done on Wednesday. Dealer is charging $520 including alignment on a labor rate of $130 plus shop fees, etc.
  16. Question on current Cash Back deal

    Is that a facetious comment? I have not been around this board long enough to get the joke if it is :). I do recall reading some complaints that it is too slow. Coming from a 2008 Ranger that never had one and never thought I needed one. I know the damper on the toilet seat drives me nuts...
  17. Question on current Cash Back deal

    My truck surprisingly showed up on Wednesday. Had to wait until Thursday to pick it up because I had not yet gotten the loan from Navy Fed. It was an XLT 4x4 SuperCab, 302A, Black Pack, and Tow Package. MSRP $37,800 X-Plan price $36,424 (Shareholder Perk) Cash Back: $1750 I was out the...
  18. Unrealistic Delivery Date??

    Truck has arrived... So this morning, I log in to the ford tracking site and it shows as delivered 2 days ago (as of last night it said 3/4). Called the dealership and they said it still shows as March 4th for them and it is not there. I notice then that my truck is listed on their page as...
  19. Question on current Cash Back deal

    That is who we use for our financing. Makes everything so easy. Arrive with the check and most times, dealerships don't even try to compete with them.
  20. Question on current Cash Back deal

    I have one that I ordered. It's built and awaiting shipment. I do have an X-Plan number which they provide to shareholders. Back when Ford had all the shutdown related deals I still have a truck, a 2008 Ranger, which my son drove into some trees after falling asleep. She had 215K miles or so...
