The very top up just below the rubber hood gasket should be ok, but in any case, you coud just JB Weld it. It isnt a heavy item or something that needs to be boltted.
Mount it to the plastic just under the rubber hood seal above the firewall area on the passenger side. It would sit just above/behind the coolant reservoir and has a reasonably easy path down to the transmission.
The oil life monitor should be taking into account your driving and environmental conditions. I've had vehicles with that feature in the past and it definitely would change the interval based on the type of driving and outside temps etc. I dont think it actually giving you that 10k miles is...
What is the purpose of these 'crash bars' that are in the way of a bigger tire? Looking at them on my 2023, they dont appear to be very substantial, and likely do next to nothing if you where to hit something. Why not just remove them entirely?
I ended up getting ahold of some ULV and added enough to get it into the right range. It seems to have also quieted the loud whining that was coming from the bottom of the engine bay.
I also tested with the B&M dipstick and before I added fluid, there was NO fluid on that dipstick. Now I get...
B&M makes a dipstick that goes up into the engine bay for the 10r80 transmission. Would make checking/filling easier.
Its odd they didnt do that on the 4x4 versions at least. When offroading (or heavy towing) your fluid will be stressed more and you need to be able to check it since it will...
I'm doing some checks on my new 2023 Ranger and wanted to make sure the transmission fluid is correct. It is on the diamond 2nd from the bottom. (between 5 and 6). This is with the engine running and up to temperature and on a fairly level surface.
Isnt that a bit low? If so, is there a...
The fins may help some but its probably more to do with it being aluminum rather than typically factory steel covers. I'd want to see actual temps to prove a product is worth it if I needed one for cooling purposes (heavy towing primarily)
I have one on my offroader but it was the closest one I...
Depending on what kind of driving you're doing, it may not be an issue. Offroading tends to be short bursts of low speed and likely wont get the fluid hot. (long hill climbs mabye, but still, low speeds make a difference) Normal city/highway driving is also likely not an issue since it wont get...
I have a dash cam from my old vehicle that gets its power from usb. I dont suppose there are any USB ports inside the dash area? If not I may have to get a splitter for one of the existing external ports.
Just installed the genuine ford version on my 2023 XLT Tremor. The instructions it came with were accurate except for the upper barrier removal (the one below the beauty cover) wasnt shown. No modifications to the grill etc were necessary.
I just picked up my new Ranger this week and today I noticed a whining noise at low speed (like in parking lots) and when I stop and am just idling. I also noticed that it is louder under the truck than in the engine bay. Any idea if its a normal sound for this vehicle or not?
Here's a video...
