I tried to get a buyback replacement, but I was denied. Ford told me they strictly go by the lemon law in the associated state. Unfortunately, it does not qualify for the WI state lemon law, which states there has to be 4 fix attempts in the first year of ownership. My problem started 10...

Twice, my oil drained, has been more than 1.7qts more than what was put in, both of those were around 2,000 miles on the oil. I have no idea how much Ford drained on the 5,000 mile oil change, but the level was above the 2 that I listed above. The field engineer wanted an oil report with at...

I verified that Blackstone uses "open cup" flashpoint testing by looking it up on there website. They even have a video explaining the testing. I will be curious to see the comparison between the two. Most of the comparisons I found online showed the Blackstone samples much lower than those...

From what I have found online, Blackstone uses "open cup" flashpoint testing, ASTM D92 - 18, for determining fuel dilution. It seems to be widely agreed upon, that this method is not the most accurate and is regarded as a qualitative test vs quantitative test (pass/fail vs how much). Gas...

I do, under connectivity, everything is enabled.

Damn, I will need to bring this up with the dealer again. I have searched several other forums, including the Explorer forums, and there is plenty of talk about this same issue, the fuel pump priming noise, and many posters claim to hear the "chime" at odd times. I have been out in the garage...

I believe the HPFP "primes" more often than when the door is open. For some, like me, we notice it "priming" at various different times when we are not even close to the truck with the fob. My truck is parked in a heated garage in which the front half is a workshop, complete with 4-post lift...

I should know when the dealer gets the parts in for their next fix attempt. I should have reports from both a 900 miles and 5000 miles on the oil. Ford engineer wanted an oil sample at 5000 miles to see how bad the wear metals would get. When I picked my truck up after that oil change, the...

Well, Ford has finally gotten back to the dealership with a recommendation. The Engineer informed the dealership that some other Ranger owners with this problem, have had success by replacing the oil separator system, even though all the PCV system checks were good. They are also going to...

Nothing yet, I was originally told I would hear something in 1-2 weeks, but it is now moving on 4 weeks. Dealership has told me they cant do anything until they hear back from Ford, so still waiting.

Yeah, from my experience during the last 8 oil changes in the past 11,000 miles, it moves fairly quickly up to the top hole. My guess is, that the shape of the engine cavity results in it rising quickly at first and then a bit slower when it gets up to the twist area. The field service engineer...

Well, the thought had crossed my mind, but I don't want to do anything that could have any possibility, whatsoever, of Ford claiming it as a cause and denying warranty. Besides, it is Fords responsibility to honor their warranty.

" Iron is up a little, though that might be a function of the longer oil run " " Keep oil changes short while fuel is excessive" You had only 2500 miles on the oil. I guess those of us with this issue are going to spend a lot more on oil changes? Although, Ford has footed the bill for my last 8...

Dropped my truck off yesterday and picked it up today. I was told the Field Service Engineer and a Tech from Ford were at the dealership today and ran numerous tests on my truck and took an oil sample with them back to "Ford" and that they would let the dealership know what the next steps...

C'mon now, September, October, November, December, were all warmer than usual and I was seeing significant mpg loss during those months. Granted, the past couple weeks have been brutal, but my mpg issue really became apparent back in September. Fuel in oil issue started back in March of 2019...

I just dropped the truck off for the 10th time due to this issue. Got a pretty "used" Explorer, which is alright, as a loaner. I was told the field service engineer will be at the dealership to personally look at the truck tomorrow. That sounds like progress?

This is the second winter I have had my truck as I bought it new on April 3rd. 2019. My worst tank, mpg wise, thru the first ~18,000 miles was 19.4 mpg (hand calculated). My best tank was 23.9 mpg during the summer of 2019 and I mostly averaged between 22-23 in the summer and that went down a...

Someone over in one of the Facebook groups claimed they had the catalytic converter go bad and replaced from this issue. It makes sense and could be the cause of worsening fuel mileage? Also, on the Facebook groups, I have seen 3 trucks that had the engine replaced, though the exact cause...

Yes, one of the service reports I got, stated both a compression check and leak down test were within spec.

I don't expect to get an answer on Tuesday as they are just changing the oil and sending out a another sample for testing. The Field Service Engineer wanted a sample with 5000 miles on it to see how bad it would get, and then they will make a decision if it needs a short block or a long block...
