Go check my brake fiasco thread... I've had my rears changed in some capacity at least 5-7 times, and at 60K the rears are absolutely terrible (especially considering that the rotors have 20K on them or less). They are grooved, squeaking, and shuddering beyond belief.
For extended range I bought a Yukon XL, and I just carry extra fuel in a can if I need to take the ranger somewhere for an extended time period. It was much easier than fiddling around with third party tanks that don't fit, or hang way to low. I got tired of waiting, so I no longer tow my travel...
That was 2 years ago, I've since found WIX and Motorcraft replacements for both. Now the issue is that Ford has allegedly discontinued the rear rotors and nobody has a new part number in their systems :)
I wanted the dealer to replace the whole assembly for me because it had like 2k miles and it was factory damaged according to them. Once the axle shaft came in after 6 months, it only took them a few hours total to replace it. Allegedly they replace the whole shaft because the seal is integrated…
I didn't get an updated safety sheet for my truck that was built before Ford even figured out they missed something. You shouldn't be using CC at all while towing anything that requires brakes, but to each their own I guess.
All of this arguing would never have happened had Ford just included...
With most “cold air” or high flow intakes you will hear a lot more turbo noises. I ran a green filter with lidless air box in the focus st for 100k miles and I really wish I hadn’t because after seeing other turbos on the focus forum I really believe these high speed turbos need finer filtration...
Ok, I stand mostly corrected. It’s still less intuitive, and not the correct user interface as you need to push and hold while trying to turn it to the right force but not over boosting and locking your brakes up.
The analog lever is 0-your max set boost infinitely variable by a flick of your...
I didn’t say it wasn’t expensive, it’s missing a crucial feature. You simply cannot reliably reset a knob and push it in an emergency as accurate as you can with a full analog control. The button is digital and I hope based on accelerometers, but you have less overall control and you can’t argue...
You are incorrect sir. Please tell me how you would use this type of interface to apply 50% of maximum desired force by hand and for 5-10 seconds. It works like cheap ones from pre 1995 that used timers and maximum current to determine braking force, not like something $200+ built in the 20XX’s...
I’m using some that look like this.

I stick mine to the drivers side to the left of the steering wheel under the dash with two absolute monster magnets (It's been fine for 10K+ miles of towing). I've got pictures on the forum somewhere that show it. This has the added bonus of me being able to pull it and put it in one of my other...
I'm unfortunately (and fortunately) an "OG" of the Ranger5G world, I was probably the second person to install a TBC on my ranger back in 2019 when I got it, and while I agree with you that it should have been factory, the bottom line is it wasn't an option for me when I got my truck, and...
If they were tight when cold, then when really hot under boost they wouldn't be able to move at all. Aluminum expands a lot more than iron, so the block needs looser cold tolerances just to function when hot.
Return it and just get the prodigy p3. I’ve towed 10000 miles+ on my prodigy and I have the added benefit of taking it to any other vehicle with ease. It’s fully stupid that ford couldn’t figure out a better way than pulling the interior apart for something as simple as a brake controller.
There’s a manufacturer that makes a third brake light mount for antennas it just moves back your light a couple inches and adds a spot to mount an Nmo or so239.
I get it on the extra cost. That modem is actually fine, but spectrum is trying for docsis 3.1 which is good for 10gbps. It’s a massive improvement for their network without changing any of the cables on the poles. With docsis 3.0 supporting maximums in the 4-500mbps range you can see why they...
The background on why they want you to upgrade is your cable modem is probably using an old standard and in order for them to get the whole node to the newer standard they need all old cable modems off the network. The issue is to keep you at 60m in the old standard uses the same cable bandwidth...
