  1. Transmission work needed at 50,000 per Ford dealer

    I have to admit it did make it a little bit better in a sense. 2 weeks later of having an occasional issue or new issue (the let’s just skip 4th gear entirely) made me head for the dealer before my warranty expires. Flyingwrenchesautomotive shows a good visual of a new CDF drum vs the stock.
  2. Transmission work needed at 50,000 per Ford dealer

    Steve, Thanks for having the TSB handy. Dropped Danger Ranger off at Woody Anderson Ford in Huntsville, AL this afternoon to get looked at. Truck is 4 years, 11 months old (2019) with 58,000 miles. Under warranty still? Yes. ? Even though I have changed the DPFE sensor, MAP sensor, and IAT...
  3. Swollen M12x1.5 Wheel Nut (ACPZ-1012-H) Replacement Write-Up

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mcg-64012/make/ford/model/ranger/year/2019 I was thinking about these myself.
  4. Swollen M12x1.5 Wheel Nut (ACPZ-1012-H) Replacement Write-Up

    Not my photo but we do have the two piece lug nuts. They look nice, but it’s Ford cutting some manufacturing cost corners. The outter layer is what swells over time and makes it where not even a SAE 3/4” socket will fit. In my video you can see me able to almost rotate that outter layer...
  5. Cautionary Note: Check Dealer Part Prices to Online Ford Prices (MSRP)

    Good tip. I always check Ford Parts or Levittown first. I know Woody Anderson in Huntsville, AL is legit because I needed to replace a swollen wheel nut and it was the exact price as online.
  6. Tried to be careful, but this bites!

    Try Adam’s Polishes TAR. It has gotten some pretty nasty stuff off my paint multiple times without damaging the clear coat.
  7. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Replacement Write-Up (DS7Z-12A697-A)

    Hoping the $150 I spent on sensors prevents that. :crackup: It did fix what I thought was the transmission going out for now.. Closing in on 60k miles so the clock is ticking. I did buy the 7 year/100,000 miles warranty with the truck from my dealer though so at least there’s that.
  8. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Replacement Write-Up (DS7Z-12A697-A)

    Drives like a brand new truck. I theorize it takes a few days for everything to relearn, and the janky 3rd to 4th gear symptom is at least 95% smoother now. No more lugging or the feeling the transmission is in too high of a gear going 20 or less mph either.
  9. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Replacement Write-Up (DS7Z-12A697-A)

    Took a sledgehammer to my bucking/surging issue, the terrible 3rd to 4th gear shifts, and lugging at lower speeds through my neighborhood. I am an electronics manufacturing engineer so I know sensors do not last forever so it was an age of my truck (about to be 5) and piece of mind too. Plus...
  10. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Replacement Write-Up (DS7Z-12A697-A)

    Greetings All, Dropping another one of my write-ups. This time on our Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor. (Also known as a Air Charge Temperature Sensor) When I was working on my bucking/surging issue by replacing the DPFE (Differential Pressure Feedback) sensor, I figured why not go ahead and...
  11. Manifold Absolute Pressure and Temperature Sensor Replacement (MAPT) Write-Up (K2GZ-9F479-A)

    I thought I might be a guinea pig; see if the fix lasts longer than if you only replace one. My new IAT arrived today too..$17 so why not. I figured you could not go wrong replacing the big 3 (DPFE, MAPT, and IAT) every 5 years or so (my Ranger is a 06/19 build date).
  12. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Using my Snappy Ratchet any chance I get.. :crackup: Replaced my MAPT sensor and posted another write-up for future generations.
  13. Rear driver side brake caliper stuck and burning up inner brake pad

    Unlikely, but have them make sure the dust shield is not contacting the rotor or caliper too!
  14. Manifold Absolute Pressure and Temperature Sensor Replacement (MAPT) Write-Up (K2GZ-9F479-A)

    Greetings All, Dropping another one of my write-ups. This time on our intake manifold MAPT (Manifold Absolute Pressure & Temperature) sensor. When I was working on my bucking/surging issue by replacing the DPFE (Differential Pressure Feedback) sensor, I figured why not go ahead and change the...
  15. EGR DPFE Sensor Assembly Replacement Write-Up (LB5Z-9J433-B)

    Just changed the thread title to reflect this is an EGR related issue to avoid confusion. That is really good to hear you have had success. I think the biggest question everyone has is how long will the new part last, hopefully longer than the factory part. :crackup: If yours does go out again...
  16. EGR DPFE Sensor Assembly Replacement Write-Up (LB5Z-9J433-B)

    There are quite a few components of our truck’s EGR system so it could be any of the hoses or tubes in the below diagram. I do think there is enough data to say when we replace the DPFE assembly (like in my write-up) it fixes the weird issues. I would go ahead and replace the entire assembly...
  17. EGR DPFE Sensor Assembly Replacement Write-Up (LB5Z-9J433-B)

    Differential Pressure Feedback Sensor. Based on that description you have it would appear to be this exact same sensor. Mine did not give me a code or anything yet ; has yours ever been changed?
  18. EGR DPFE Sensor Assembly Replacement Write-Up (LB5Z-9J433-B)

    Looks like 0.25in for I.D. and 0.50in for O.D. per my Amazon calipers.
