  1. Ramble on getting bedliner done

    Havent seen the bed liner cause rust issues. In the rust belt, every truck I have seen rusts from the box supports and up, not the other way around. Pulled a bed liner out of a 430xxx mile dodge 2500 texas truck and it was just dirt underneath, no rust. Im thinking the bed liner=rust mentality...
  2. Is this a good price?

    My opinion: I wouldn't buy it with all that crap the previous owner put on and certainly wouldn't pay more for it. Too each his own though. Personally I would rather have a new xlt over a used 20k mile lariat. Which would be about the same price. Only meaningful upgrade on the lariat is maybe...
  3. Accidentally bumped red line

    What page is that on in the ranger manual? I don't see it.
  4. Accidentally bumped red line

    Looks like you can bounce off the rev limiter all day and it wont shift when in the selectshift mode. The way I read it is: sport mode acts like sport mode, bump either the + or - and the truck enters manual mode and it will no longer shift. Then return to drive to leave manual mode (selectshift).
  5. Trailer lighting issues

    Doesn't sound like it is trailer/trailer plug related because it occurs on different trailers. Sounds like it is truck related. I would crawl underneath the truck and make sure the round plug to connect to the trailer harness connector is clean and dry on the inside. It also looks like the...
  6. Ford pass stopped showing vehicle image

    WOW! Just read this and thought I would check. Mine is gone too now, didn't even notice! About time. Got that letter weeks ago. (I only cleared app cache and phone cache partition, didn't reinstall app) Edit: Was talking about the recall notification.
  7. Slamming my doors!

    Probly because she's mad at you for something. She's thinkin "Imagine if AzScorpion's hand is between this door and the frame. WHAM! HA! TAKE THAT!" Lol jk ?
  8. Thoughts on this Ranger?

    @Calwilson33 If you are looking at used at that price, I suggest taking a long and hard look at a new model. I nearly lost my mind looking used pickups. Trucks have a very linear depreciation curve and buying new is very close to buying 1-2 yrs old. By very close I mean within 1-2 grand, and...
  9. Fumoto Valve Fail

    Confirms my gut feeling ive always had with those things. Not worth the $20 and 30sec saved per oil change, even if it was 100% fool proof. IMO I hope engine turns out to be fine after all or the replacement one is cheap.
  10. Remove the factory running boards or no?

    I don't have them and don't like them. Ill never run them. They are rather ugly IMO. They do get packed with snow. Ive also seen them bent or ripped off because a 300lb person put their whole weight on it. Granted those were a bit rusty underneath. ^These don't get slick in the winter. I...
  11. Stiction Eliminator?

    This. Rinn69 beat me to it. Wont make an ounce of difference in our trucks. The GDI injector never sees oil. Archoil is another brand that helps with stiction. 100% works though, in the right application. A lot of those "stiction" eliminator additives were designed specifically for the 03-07...
  12. Ecoboost oil recommendation?

    Best part about Walmart is they stock motorcraft oil filters too. Atleast the ones that ive been to stock em.
  13. Wife borrowed truck, found it in 4H next morning, now clicking in steering going over speed bumps...

    Yes very common. Its big in the diesel truck drag racing scene. Almost have to because it would be nothing but wheel spin with those otherwise. I kinda tested this the other day when I first bought it. Highway at about 60 it would shift into 4wd. Tried on the interstate at about 75 and...
  14. Electrical wiring question(s)

    If I am following you correctly. The gauge of wire run into the cab needs to be just enough to fire the relay, which is next to nothing for current draw. Then the relay and the primary, or "power" wiring if you will, from battery to the relay and then relay to the device is the critical size...
  15. What is something you love, and something you dislike about the Ranger?

    I still want a handle on the drivers side. Edit: In the US one, on the left. For all you nitpickers ?
  16. When to start with synthetic oil

    I was going to change mine early at like 1000 or so but I don't feel like it anymore so ill probably wait for my regular 5k interval or whenever the fuel raises the oil level to the twist.... ?
  17. Job, what do you do

    Mechanical engineer. I design cranes, windlasses, winches, capstans etc. Basically custom marine offshore and shipboard deck equipment. Customers are mainly navy, coastguard, oilrigs, mining companies etc. Or whoever has money and wants one.
  18. What is everyone paying for their 5th Gen Ranger?

    You have to take the "I got it for XXXXX dollars" with a grain of salt. Some folks don't factor in trade-in, down payment, dont take into account dealer fees and taxes or they are just flat out lying. Not saying they are all lying or didnt get a screamin deal BTW. Just pointing out that its...
  19. Long range fuel tank

    I want an aftermarket tank to replace my factory tiny one. If you don't want one don't buy one. ?
