  1. what fluids does everyone recommend for diffs and transfer case

    For the transfer case I went to the dealer and got the recommended WSS-M2C938-AMERCON LV. Valvoline 80W90 for both diffs. Number one rule for all three: ALWAYS remove the fill plugs before the drain plugs, or splitting cases.
  2. Are You a Cat Person or a Dog Person?

    I just removed the entire back seat from my truck, covered the bottom holes with plywood, then multiple blankets. It's the mobile dog house. When I was driving cross country to pick up the second dog, I took out the front passenger seat as well, so I could keep a better eye on her, when she was...
  3. To TPMS sensor OR to NOT TPMS sensor...

    Ya makes sense. My winters are directional, but not the spare. I put a mid-level Wrangler on the spare rim. It can go on either side, and was much cheaper than my X-Ice winters.
  4. To TPMS sensor OR to NOT TPMS sensor...

    So if I get that right, you are not rotating the spare into general use, it's just a matching 18" rim to fit over the + size calipers? If correct, I wouldn't bother with the TPMS. If you are going to go to a 5 tire rotation, get the TPMS in all. I have 6 summer wheels, all have TPMS, and I...
  5. "Just a good old boys Never meanin' no harm...."

    Video cuts away for the landing?????????????????????? Boooooo-Urnsssss!
  6. Are You a Cat Person or a Dog Person?

    In case my name or avatar aren't obvious enough, Kyuss the brown and Trixie the grey.
  7. Any way to turn off climate control automatically when auto start/stop is active?

    I assume by CC you mean having it set to auto? I know my ASS still kicks in with AC on, but I don't use the auto control option. I set the temp, vents, and fan manually, ASS shuts the motor down when it feels it should.
  8. Replaced Turbo after Wrench light & Underpowered Turbo Code- Same issue

    No, which suggest to me it wasn't actually a wastegate issue at all.
  9. Engine and wrench lights came on!!!

    About a week ago the engine light came on, then the next day the wrench light came on. The engine light story is linked at the bottom, posted in another thread. The wrench light phone app warning message said something to the effect of - powertrain issue, possible differential sensor problem...
  10. Replaced Turbo after Wrench light & Underpowered Turbo Code- Same issue

    I came here just to post about my recent engine light and wrench lights coming on, which I will do a dedicated thread. For this thread, my engine light came on last week. The app showed a messages that read; 1 - The turbocharger wastegate maybe stuck closed. 2 - An electrical fault with the...
  11. Rolled the Ranger this morning…

    96.7 CHYM as your #1 preset suggests it wasn't an accident and you probably liked it.
  12. The elusive cosmetic bumper plug for the spare tire winch

    I never understood why the keyed cover was used. It 'locks' into relatively thin, soft plastic, that is easily defeated by any would be thief stealing your spare tire anyway. Barely even the illusion of security. Also, never heard of a spare tire being stolen. Seems like a solution to a...
  13. Snorkle

    I also have the ARB Safari snorkel. Love it. Also like Glocker, I did the install myself. It's not an overly difficult install, cutting/drilling through body panels is probably the hardest part for most people.
  14. Average life of the stock battery?

    I have a voltmeter on my Spod display, which shows 14.7 to 14.9 when parked, up to 15.1 when running. In late December I started getting the "Drive your vehicle to reconnect FordPass and exit battery saver mode" and would not allow any remote Fordpass actions to work It also disabled the...
  15. What winch are you using?

    Minimum recommended is 1.5x the weight of the truck, but I've always run 2x. On the Ranger, I'm running a Warn VR Evo Synthetic 12,000 pound. It has been perfect so far. Wireless remote is awesome. I've also run it while it was completely under water with no issues.
  16. Tire Size Fitment Master Thread

    Hey Duke, my apologies. I thought all Rangers came on 265s.
  17. Tire Size Fitment Master Thread

    This. If it's not rubbing now, it won't rub later. Your Tiresize.com report shows a 255 factory tire going to 285, but the factory tire is 265, so it's 20mm up-sizing to go 285, not 25mm. A 10mm (3/8") spacer, or +45 off set rim will put the 285 tire, back to the same space from the spindle...
  18. Use a come-along for off road recovery?

    Yea I fully read your thing, you said it’s stupid and a waste of money. Lol. Being synthetic there is no inherent danger if using it inline with the vehicle like there is with steel wire or kinetic straps. Also most winches are still wired controllers with an ~8 foot wire which generally puts...
  19. Use a come-along for off road recovery?

    Such a limited view of others always being around, that a single winch can save you in all circumstances, and that nothing ever breaks. Think outside the box a little. I have a 12,000 Warn winch and I still carry the Bailey's come along because: 1 is none 2 is 1, and second pulling direction is...
