I finally got my Ranger in to the dealer yesterday. When I first contacted them on 5/13, the attached list was a bit shorter. I'm pretty concerned that they won't be able to fix any of the issues and the long-term durability of the truck is not going to be good but we'll see. Best case scenario...
You can buy a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle for 20 bucks and download some app like torque to read the coolant temp. On cars I've had in the past, the needle could be dead in the middle starting at 160 degrees and not move at all up to 230 degrees. On other cars, the general rule of thumb was if the...
It may point to these engines just being hard on the oil. From past experience with the mazdaspeed engine, the factory fill was 5w20, then 5w30, and in some cases (turbo burning oil) they began to recommend 5w40. Fuel dilution wasn't a big problem but the engine liked to shear the oil. I always...
As a current resident of Atlanta and a native ATLien, I confirm the validity of these statements. Be ware anyone traveling thru Atlanta! You're lucky she left a note and it's only cosmetic. Still sucks to deal with!
That looks great. I don't think there's a better setup for our Rangers. Did you use the Aukees in the fogs as well and what influenced that decision to go with those?
Ahh gotcha! Thanks for the clarification. It seems most people are sticking with either the 1.2" setting or going straight to the 2.5" setting. I think 2 inches is perfect.
On my tuned MS3, I found myself changing the plugs every 10-15k. I can't imagine it's much different for these ecoboosts. People had a lot of cracking with the denso itv22s but the ngks always worked flawlessly in that motor. Who knows why.
When I sold my 99 M3, I used Hagerty valuation tools, bringatrailer historical sales graphs, and cars.com historical sales graphs. There's one with 34k miles on autotrader right now for 13.9.
You might get lucky with one of the auction sites. People pay HUGE bucks for all kinds of low-mileagw...
To me, it's a stark contrast between hunter and hunted, defenseless and merciless, especially how the photographer posed that contrast in their black and white. Prob tasted like a chicken wing that you found in the trash can tbh ?
Very annoying that must be! I'm having the same issues you and aimsomewhere have mentioned. Basically vibration at all speeds, start up vibration, and some odd transmission behavior/lumpy idle. My first call to dealer was May 13 and I'm STILL waiting on my truck to get looked at. I showed up on...
