Frustrated . . . My coolant level continues to go down, yet the service department performed a pressure test - tested the pressure for an hour, also drove my Ranger 20 miles, and they could not find a leak. They topped off my recovery tank and said to monitor. They agreed that coolant is going...

I replaced my OEM Hankooks at 45,000 miles. I could have gone longer, but winter was coming and I live in Minnesota. I replaced them with BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2's, and absolutely love them! Discount Tire is the best!!!

Just had my oil changed at the local Ford Quick Lane. While there, I scheduled an appointment to address the coolant leak. The service advisor had the technician add dye to the cooling system, so one less trip and appointment. I suspect the EGR Valve and Cooler are going to be the issue, as I...

Thank You! Definitely great information going forward!

I just added a full quart of coolant (Ford Motorcraft Pre-Mix) to bring the recovery tank back up to specs. I will definitely watch this over the next few weeks. I do not have any antifreeze on the floor, and did not see any leaks from coolant hoses, heater core, etc. Worried that it's...

I have just under 49,000 miles on my 2021 Ford Ranger XLT 4 x 4. I was looking over everything under the hood like I do every couple weeks, and noticed my coolant recovery tank coolant level is one inch below the Minimum mark/line. I did not see any coolant leaks, and I have not noticed any...

I'm lucky - my Quick Lane has windows into the service bay, so I watch my Ranger like a hawk. I even make sure they change the oil filter, as that would be easy to purposely miss and still charge me.

I've started writing the "Install Date" on my Air and Cabin Air Filters when I replace them. One month after I replaced my cabin air filter, the Quick Lane Technician showed me "My" Filter. Funny - No date on it. My guess is that they keep some old filters laying around and use them to show...

I messaged BF Goodrich, and they recommend 38 psi for my model Ranger. That is right in line with your recommendation as well. Thank You for sharing!

BF Goodrich replied to my email and recommended 38 psi.

Discount Tire has been very good to me over the years, and I have had new tires installed there MANY times. On a side note, my wife had three different tires that picked up nails. Each time I went to Discount Tire, they plugged/patched/re-balanced the tire for free! That says something about...

Update: I contacted BF Goodrich (email) and gave them the specifics of my vehicle and tire size. They recommended 38 psi. I still plan to do the chalk test when I get time. So far, the ride has been very smooth and quiet, and I am enjoying the new tires.

Yes - Math Teacher (Geometry is my specialty).

Thank You everyone! I plan on doing the Chalk Test soon, as mentioned in an earlier post. I am a teacher, and happen to have a couple boxes of chalk in my desk, so I will bring some home on Monday. So far, I love the new tires . . . I don't notice any extra noise, although if I did, I don't...

Approaching 47,000 miles and another Minnesota winter, so I purchased new tires as the original Hankook Dynapro at2’s were wearing down. Discount Tire had BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A K02’s on sale for $202 per tire. LT265/65 R17. Out the door for $1,124.25 and that included the road hazard...

Yes - repaint. Aluminum is a tricky fix for sure!

I know that area well - I grew up in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. Made many trips to Hastings, drove through Cannon Falls on the way to Rochester, and on to Iowa to visit relatives. Lots of deer in the area. Largest buck my Dad ever "got" was 16 points - he got it with a 1987 Dodge Ram...

I put off the repair until we got towards the end of winter. The last half-mile leading into our house is a township road that is not a top priority for getting plowed for snow. With our record-setting winter for snowfall, I would have been "lost" without my truck to drive through the...

Update: Just got my Ranger back from the auto body shop. Took about a week for the repair and they were able to fix the dent instead of replacing the fender. It turned out perfect! $1,172.83 was the damage. $500 of that was my out-of-pocket deductible. I was given a free loaner car for the...

I routinely check my 2021 Ford Ranger XLT for software updates and had a couple questions about correct procedure. A couple days ago, there was a new update so I proceeded to download the update. It took almost an hour to complete. Do our Rangers automatically update if they are within WiFi...
