Changed my oil today and tried to enter a service record multiple times on the Ford site and getting an error each time. Fortunately I bought a vehicle maintenance log book and keep it updated
I have my 21 Ranger lariat on a Noco 10 amp and sometimes it may sit easily 3-4 or more weeks before I drive it without any issues. If dealers can have vehicles on their lots for extended periods without chargers I'm not worried.
Funny thing, I have a great dealer here in Mass. , but I still went in to the service manager to voice my concerns of replacing my tranny pan , replacing the filter and fluid and not removing my Fitzstick. When I picked it up I asked questions and found out the service manager spoke to the tech...
Its totally absurd that they removed the drain plug, hard to believe, but if Ford believes 150k for before changing fluid they don't care about any hassle it causes to us do it yourself guys.
Just installed my Ford performance differential cover ( M-4033-BR ), so I now have a magnetic drain plug. Easy install, torqued the bolts to spec 29.5 ft lb and the drain and fill plugs to 22 ft lb.
The ULV was $8.49 a quart, the filter was $66.38, the pan gasket was $43.48. I chose to do the pan gasket so if there was a leak the old gasket wouldn't be the reason.
Well I received my PPE shallow pan and happened to pickup my new rear differential cover from Ford Performance Parts at the Ford Dealer and I spoke to a service manager about installing my PPE pan. I was expecting a $200-300 bill, but he said $135 to install as I was buying the filter,pan gasket...
Just slid under my 21 FX4 Ranger to find no drain plug for the rear differential, my build date was December 21, I believe. Sure glad I have the M-4033-BR on order.
I have a 21 Lariat and I'm guessing there is a drain plug but I still ordered the 1st cover, M-4033-BR.
I wanted to fill and drain from the rear, just a preference, not a big deal.
I've been slipping and sliding for a while but not while driving the lariat. It sits most of the time as I only have 7k miles on the 21 Ranger. I have it on a noco 10a charger so I don't have to worry about the battery.
My problem is I have a Subaru Impreza which gets 28 mpg, and I like driving...
Wait till I have to pay for these upgrades, oh boy , not looking forward to it fortunately I have 6 months with paypal credit. I'm not installing right away but I wanted them now because I'm impatient, what a surprise!!
Just ordered the M-4033-BR from Ford performance for $182.75 including tax, picking up at dealership for no shipping also ordered a PPE aluminum trans pan for my 21 Ranger Lariat from ebay on Mass. tax free weekend.
Looks like I'm digging a hole with these upgrades, but its to keep the Ranger...
Here's something I found by accident for all you atv riders or just equipment loaders.
Fits the Ranger
