  1. Faulty battery?

    Old school stuff was actually off when keyed off, new vehicles not so much. All the modules and tech draw a small amount. But I would think it should be able to sit 2 weeks provided the batt was fully charged. Since it seems like you don't drive for extended periods, I would suggest a...
  2. What oil will you be running after your 1st oil change?

    I use what's readily available, synthetic, and the correct weight. Mobil 1 usually fits that bill. Vehicles are junk by 150-200k anyway, mainly due to rust where I am. Hell, dino oil will get you that far. ...Just me being realistic. My used 200k mile beaters ive had Id just run the cheap...
  3. Ticking (but loud)

    Yep, normal. As stated. The direct injection makes all kinds of noises. Mine sounds the same. Close the hood and it will be quieter....?
  4. What do you regret buying for your Ranger?

    I regret buyin premium that one time. Runs good enough on regular and im a cheapo
  5. Factory trailer plug not wired correctly?

    I would assume trailer charge is regulated the same way it charges the truck battery or at least controlled by the trailer module. So a separate battery charge controller would be pointless. But we all know what happens when you assume. :p To the OP: It should operate how you would expect once...
  6. Remote Features Disabled

    Shouldn't be 12.15 after only 20 hrs. Mine sat for a full week outside at 20 degrees over thanksgiving and I never got that message. Even 12.4v is what I would consider "low". At 12.15v I would say it needs charging. Resting fully charged should be 12.8 or so. That said I don't know when that...
  7. Garage door opener in overhead console, wiring question.

    Couple things: I need this. Did it plug straight in for the map lights and then the garage opener is a seperate plug? or? Please elaborate If I recall on other vehicles the garage opener is powered 24/7 so that you can hit the button anytime and open the garage door. Will programming reset...
  8. Factory trailer plug not wired correctly?

    Start truck, plug in trailer then put in gear like your driving off and the dash should light up like a christmas tree with all kinds of trailer messages. Then check with voltmeter and you should be good, assuming proper batt/wiring on the trailer side.
  9. SOLVED: Can't get the back of the rear seat to lock upright

    I put my hand right where the latch is and slam that m*therfcker with force that would impress a pro boxer, latches everytime.
  10. Coolant Leak, Mystery Noise near Radiator?

    A lot of electronics and modules in these things that make all kinds of racket right when keyed on or off. I say normal. I would ignore it. Buzzing is normal. No fix. Its the high pressure DI components. As for coolant leak, doesn't sound too bad. I say keep an eye on it, its probably fine...
  11. Factory trailer plug not wired correctly?

    Went through this on mine, trying to charge low camper batt at the campground. Went through fuses and everything, all a pain to get to. Turns out it was operating as intended. The truck will NOT send 12v (charge/camper batt power ect) until it recognizes that a trailer is connected and pops up...
  12. 27k miles CEL for O2 sensor.

    Should be under the federal emissions warranty which is 8ys/80,000. Was just looking at it. A lot of stuff covered under that warranty, supposedly even the turbo it says. Sounds like you got one comin though, $20 isn't bad. Sensor 1 which is a wideband on these is about $100. Surprised the...
  13. Leather interior parts coming apart in xlt

    I dont know, hope fully someone else can chime in. I thought there was only 2 different colors: ebony and stone. Not too sure what the ebony/ash is
  14. Does This Warrant Buyback (Replacement)

    Fuel dilution doesn't come from blowby directly, it would be coming from the injectors in that scenario. :) Either way, you would have to have serious blow by to cause the fuel dilution you are seeing. And blow by that bad would be very noticeable and the engine would run like complete...
  15. Charging System Warning Light

    @Manny R Typically, If there is a light there is a code because the code causes the light. No code = No light. But No light does NOT equal no code. Whether or not the code was stored is a different story, so what I said is kind of irrelevant. Either way code would have probably said something...
  16. Offroad Race Video

    Ranger won. As always :sunglasses:
  17. Crappy dealership

    Only thing I bring mine vehicles in for is tires. And I guess warranty because free parts. Wish they could just give me the new part and I return the warrantied one but can't have everything I guess. Had my hellcat supercharger warrantied (about $7k) because of loud bearing noise which is...
  18. New owner 2020 xlt sport 4x4 observations

    Coincidental. All the same drivetrain part numbers, wheelbase etc. Only differences in any new ranger drivetrain is 2wd or 4wd.
