Hi guys, Been feeling a bit of what I would call a bit of play through the steering wheel on my normal drive, almost like something is loose. I noticed the other day at full crank it made a snapping sound. I looked it up and sounds like it’s probably a bad cv joint? Never had this happen on...

Thanks a bunch, your how-to came in handy I had it pulled up on my phone while I was working on it. Haha no click bait here just trying to learn my way around the truck. Oh huge bummer! I dont know your situation but if I were you and didnt need the truck for commuting until Tuesday I wouldnt...

Thanks man, I'm not very mechanically inclined so its been quite the learning process so far but its nice to have you guys on the forum for advice or I wouldn't have done half of these things so far!

I did this mostly out of curiosity given that my truck is over 100k miles and ive never cleaned a throttle body before. I want to learn how to work on my own cars so I figure this is a good opportunity to learn something new and maybe improve shifting and mpgs. It was quite dirty as you can tell...

Ok I finally finished that was a PITA lol. Mainly due to such little room to work, i got some fun little scratches all over my arm from the zip ties connected to some of the hoses. But I did end up removing the whole intercooler pipe because it opened up so much room. Only tricky thing is i...

Man I’m trying to get to the bottom of the throttle body and there’s like no room to work in here with a ratchet. Should I remove the part of the intercooler circled in red for more room? I just want to get the hose out of the way so i have room to work

Wow, fantastic write up! Thanks for letting us know how it went for you. So to confirm, you didn’t need to remove the intercooler hose out completely you were able to loosen just the clamp closest to the throttle body and move it out and then up/down for room to work? Glad you talked about the...

Glad to help! Hopefully gets rid of those codes for ya. Should idle a lot better and potentially shift smoother as well. I’m curious for the results myself. I have 102k right now so I bet mine will be dirty

This is the one where he gives tips on what to for cleaning. I did a bit of research about best cleaning methods and from what I gather sounds like it’s actually better to just spray the throttle body cleaner on a clean rag and wipe it down, rather than spraying directly on the throttle body so...

Got it. Thanks a bunch!

One other question for you. I went out to check under the hood again, the throttle body is on the driver side of the engine bay right? (Circled in the picture below) Also wondering if that is it, if I’ll need to remove this pipe (second picture), it doesn’t have the same style clamp like on the...

Hey thanks for the tips! Good reminder on the gasket. I am wondering if you know whether i need to get the gasket directly through ford parts website so I know it fits or if I’d be fine using the part from Autozone (says it’s a direct fit and looks similar?) I put pictures of both of them...

Hi Guys, I was looking around online and didnt find any exact videos or write-ups on how to get to and clean the throttle body on the Ranger (I have a 2020). Mine just hit over 100k miles and I want to remove it and see if I can clean off some gunk and maybe get better throttle...

Looks great man, thanks for sending those clips. Got me wanting those now, love that LED strip

Sweet! Which ones did you get? Got any pictures to show them off?

Yeah I feel the same, I like that the Anzo lights are all LEDs. Do you like them so far since you have intsalled them? Did you have to do any modifications on them to get them set up how you like or just straight plug n play?

Does look quite time consuming! Did you do it outside? I dont have a garage so if I do it, itd have to be a nice day out lol. As far as installing them are they as people describe "plug n play" or would I need to worry about any wiring type of tasks? I hear people talking about wiring a DRL...

Good to know, thanks for the info! Definitely will be watching a few videos to see if I can do it myself. If its on the lower end of that range that doesnt sound too bad if I had someone do it though.

Hi guys, I am planning to do one last cosmetic upgrade to the truck this fall and im looking at swapping out factory halogens for some nice LED headlights. I mainly and wanting to get new housings that have a nice LED strip on them that look nice when running during the day. At the price point...

Yeah i am in NC, it’s up in the 70s and getting to the 80s here soon. Humid for sure around here so must just be that? Maybe the slight clunk/knocking sound is something else
