Man I'm getting strong Robbinsville vibes here.... where in rural NC are you?
<Rville
I have an unpopular opinion around here where I have major doubts about these transmissions. I think it has too many gears, like you do, and mine jerks me around as well when I slow down going up my hilly...
A video demonstrating this would be too cool!
And since my Ranger stays waxed, garaged, and up on the pavement more than I'd like, this brings to mind a comparison between a police K9 compared to your average family indoor pet.
I washed it. There is only 1 mod I want to do which is a level but I'm not too sure what to purchase. Do I replace the front shocks with BIlsteins to level it or do I just buy the spacers and have someone install?
This might be a dumb question but do most tunes also include new trans shifting maps?
I'm not sure what to do. I think the stock power is good, but I HATE the way the trans shifts. It always wants to be in 10th gear so I'm always having to punch the throttle to get it back down to an...
There is construction happening on my road and I think the orange barrels freak out the truck especially in the early morning dark drives to work. Twice the other morning I did NOT need any coffee after the scary red flashing "collision assist" warning and beeps freaked me out for no reason at...
Well, I still bought the truck didnt I?! ?
The trans in mine frequently acts up. When cresting the hill of my driveway and as I'm slowing down, it harshly downshifts to the point where I'm sure its hurting the motor mounts. In the end, I just see needless complexity. 10 speeds, a turbo, and a...
I have no evidence whatsoever to back up what I'm about to say, but I think this transmission is the Achilles heel of the truck and I believe it will have problems before 100k miles. I think it is absolutely the weakest link in the Ranger. It just feels fragile. Perhaps if they had programmed it...
Thanks for all the input. In the mountains where I live, we don't get much snow, but, it doesn't take much sleet/ice/dusting of snow to make a road difficult. In the picture, I was in 2H and the truck never slid around. At home, I have a steep driveway where I did have to use 4H when 2H was...
Hey guys. As this is my first truck, I have some questions regarding 4WD usage so that I do not hurt the vehicle. Its a '22 Ranger XLT sport 4WD.
I frequently have to use 4WD for 20 foot sections at a time such as a steep driveway with some slippery leaves on it. At these times, I dont steer...
Followup to my previous post. The actual dumping of the home heating oil (off-road diesel). This always feels like I am literally pumping money into the underground tank to then set it on fire. Sure wish I had electric heat. ?
$187 of off-road diesel needed to heat my house. Off-road diesel prices have just fallen over the last couple days and I had to take advantage. Prices were around $4.50/gal and I filled up this 50gal tank for $3.74/gal!! A relative bargain. My landlord let me borrow his tank & pump setup and I...
Just came in here to say "Project Farm" should definitely be on your regular watchlist if it isn't already. Been following him since the beginning and his videos have been influential on some purchases. New videos every Sunday.
That said, I'm not switching to high mileage just yet, but maybe...
Ordinary pic of a mulch run, right? Well, I'm a renter and thus don't have too much of a reason to even own a truck aside from simply wanting one. So, when my cousin called and needed to borrow a truck for a mulch run I was happy to help out. My truck doesn't get to do too many "real truck" jobs...
As a fellow brand new '22 owner myself, that sucks man. I feel your pain.
I hit one (or rather it hit ME) in my '15 Corolla about 5 years ago. Dumbass deer ran right out in the road and although I swerved, he still bounced off me. Swerving turned a frontal impact to a side, so I'm glad I did...
The only advantage that I'd be interested in is better bed lighting but for $200, naa, I'm going to have to pass. Pretty sure I can find a better way to light my bed for under $200.
