Yeah im not too torn up about it. Actually surprised ive made it this far without real issues. And I was thinking of trading in the next couple years any how. Not sure for what though, like you said everything is junk anymore. Maybe a 6g? Are those having issues as well? Anybody know if a 5g...

No ESP for me. Kicking myself a bit on that. $4200 is a good chunk of money but better than a whole trans when a new one is @ $5200 plus core i guess. Wonder if they would charge more if it is done outside warranty or if they still do it by the book time?

My 2019 hasnt been in yet at 112000 miles but it is starting to act up pretty bad. Past couple weeks have had especially rough shifts 3-4 and 6-7 when cold. Flaring up and slamming into gear. 3-4 has never been perfectly smooth but it is getting notably worse. A new symptom that has just...

Turned 6 figures on the way home from work today.

Here is a thread discussing this setup. There have been several who have done it this way so the 285 clears the steering knuckle, myself included. I had found a set of spacers on ebay which I think were advertised as 6mm. Had them on for 55000 mi without issue. I have since taken them off and...

Forscan has you do fronts first, left and right simultaneously then both rears simultaneously. As for level after activation I cannot say as I poured additional fluid while it pumped in an effort to prevent running dry. Unsure if strictly necessary but I would not try to activate it without a...

Brake fluid changed today. At a bit over 95000 miles and now 6 years old I figured it was appropriate. Old stuff was dark as expected. Sucked out what was in the reservoir, refilled, then used the forscan abs bleed to push the fluid out. That made it super easy with only myself. All that is...

Ill have to try these. Cant imagine 20 degrees would make a huge difference in level but would be good to know.

Finally got around to installation of my extended dipstick. Along with the ppe pan, it made changing transmission fluid much simpler and neater than the first time. The included funnel worked great. Not sure how you would be able to get the fluid to 200+ to check per manual though. Best i...

I started to install a dash camera using a mirror power tap harness for power and found one wire had come unsoldered from the windshield. Assuming it is for a defrost line for the front camera. Is there any special instructions for resoldering this to the glass? Worried about heating and...

I took the auto train in 2023 with my ranger. I had never taken a train before and wanted to check it out. I got a roomette that gets you a dinner in the dining car. It was more expensive than driving even factoring in a hotel and meals. If you went coach it would have been closer in price vs...

New tires put on. The local Mr.Tire has gone downhill since I had them do tires for me 3 years ago. Paid nearly twice what I did in 2021 for them to break a lug stud and scratch 2 of my wheels. 1 is right to the metal. Now I have the head ache of trying to get comped for the wheels. Luckily I...

Alignment done in preparation for new tires.

Borrowed a T.T. and drove up to the ADKs for the weekend.

Those look like a good choice. They seem well reviewed for a road biased A/T. I recently came across those Outpost nAT as an option in my search for tires. They seem to fill my criteria pretty well. Light, relatively quiet and supposedly good in snow. Also US made which is a plus. I found them...

265/70 is a more common size used on half ton trucks. They fit on the ranger stock and look better than the stock 265/65. I have had the Cooper AT3 4S on mine for the past few years and about 55000 mi. To my knowledge the road and trail is the successor and roughly equivalent tire. I would say...

Hit 90k yesterday. Did an oil change, air filter, cabin filter and tire rotation. Will do a transmission fluid drain/fill and new brake fluid this weekend when my package from Rockauto shows up. Been looking at a new set of tires also as my current Coopers are just about done. Thinking of...

Looks nice. What did you think of the X/Ts? I'm due for tires before winter and was looking at them in a 255/75.

Put on McGard lug nuts. Got them from Autozone for $85 shipped. Best price I could find right now. Slightly longer than stock so they stick out a bit more, but not bad once they are on. My factory ones were not in bad shape for 88,000mi, only one of them gave any resistance coming out of the...

Finally got a cheap laptop to use the forscan adapter i have had sitting around for like 2 years. Made a few changes so far; upped charge state, updated battery type to reflect the larger h7 i put in, enabled fogs with hi-beam, disabled some chimes, changed alarm function. I'll be messing around...
