  1. My Ranger's Demons have been finally be exorcised!

    It's all fun and games until the pea soup.
  2. shudder/vibration from 0-10mph and a thump coming to a stop like something is sliding inside. can i do a tom woods?

    Lubing the splines with Ford's blue synthetic grease cured my stop/start thunk.
  3. 19.99 bore scope

    Gotta love HiJoy endoscope. Does it come with the prep mix?
  4. Tech electronic issues or sensor issues on 5g trucks problems. Repair etc

    I have a 2019 with 33,xxx miles that has never been in a shop. So, all is good here.
  5. 2.3L Ecoboost on Conventional vs. Synthetic Oil

    I came across this article and thought I'd post it up as motor oil is the life-blood of any engine. Fun fact - both engines were run for 500,000 simulated miles. Enjoy...
  6. Florence SC area oil change recommendation

    They probably make a good profit on buying bulk oil and the filters too.
  7. I am an idiot. I screwed up somewhere and am lucky to have not died/killed someone/crashed.

    I bet it hurt to share, but if it saves somebody else, you've done well.
  8. Interesting take on transmission fluid

    I've dug into 3 transmissions (I'm a retired teacher who works on my vehicles and vehicles of close family)with sticking valve bodies and fine screens on shift solenoids that were blocked by contaminates. I'd say that in all 3 transmissions, a fluid/filter change may have prevented the issues...
  9. 2.3L EcoBoost SP-594 Spark Plug Change Write-Up (60k Miles)

    Thanks for the write up. I enjoyed it and will refer to it in a few years. I always put anti-seize on spark plugs and aluminum threads in particular-it may not be needed, but I sleep better.
  10. 110 V AC Power Point

    I think you're on target with too many devices plugged in at the same time. I remember trying to run a coffee maker off of mine and it wasn't up to the task so I suspect the amperage isn't sufficient to heat up and extension cord even with multiple devices plugged in.
  11. Bad day for the Ranger

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/256031541265?_nkw=paintless+dent+repair+kit&itmmeta=01J5TJYRYPVB6TYEGG8PE3P3SE&hash=item3b9cab4811:g:BlgAAOSwTzNkKrPH&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnU1DxY2TM0BrLJ229LucmfHzZ5CRgL04lXpK1Sz0ZZCKkj72BvRNGoVDS9TcSZ%2BTqLNwkGBCw2nR37jGNHmv%2F%2B1TCvUI8eYj1ko1MS5...
  12. Shimmy - Help, what could be wrong?

    How many miles do you have on the truck?
  13. Shimmy - Help, what could be wrong?

    Did you get a 4-wheel allignment after doing all of the suspension work?
  14. New Engine?

    Compression testers are pretty inexpensive and there are only 4 cylinders. Usually only one or two cylinders might be low, but the motor will start and run rough on the remaining cylinders. What are the trouble codes? Is it getting spark?
  15. 5th Wheel Towing

    On my one trip to Great Britain, I only saw maybe a handful of pick-ups in 16 days. I suspect they have to make-do with what's available.
  16. 1st DOH! What is this part called, and part# ?

    JB Weld is almost that color, should fill the divit nicely and if you use a razor blade to level it (I'd also use one to for "rough sanding" with maybe some 800 sandpaper), it should be only noticeable to you.
  17. Getting a new driveshaft- thump on stop/pull away and vibes at 0-15mph.

    Aside from your truck being under warranty, I bought the boot kit and the Ford blue synthetic grease. If you're gentle removing the band, the boot kit is not necessary as the boot and band can be reused. While I had it up in the air, I also changed out the wheels and tires. Either way, my...
  18. Mat Anchor Points on Rubber Lining

    I bought OEM floor mat take-outs and used 4 zip ties(2 each side) under the front two seat bolts to hold them in place. At 31,xxx miles it works like a charm.
  19. Carrier bearing noise( video included)

    There will be drag built into the system due load beating surfaces within the drivetrain and the fact that the drive-shaft is still transmitting power to the wheels. Is the play within the bearing as in the gap between the stationary metal outer surface and the rotating inner surface?
