Nope normal drive mode. Noticed it also missing shifts.

So today I noticed the shifting felt rougher than normal. I pulled up the gear selection and noticed my transmission wasn’t skipping gears like it should. Both while accelerating and decelerating to a stop. The only gear it would skip was 2nd. All other gears were hit regardless of how much...

+1 on heli-coil as a secondary plan. I just mentioned heli-coils as well. If the threads can’t be chased then a heli-coil would be the next best option. I’ve used heli-coils countless times around a lumber mill on all sized bolts without any issues. Just have to take your time and blow out the...

So if you can chase the threads or go up a size great but my recommendation would be a heli-coil. I’d do this before going up a size bolt because the torque spec may be off but often times the torque spec on something that holds a gasket won’t be what what a standard torque setting on a bolt...

Yeah same but at some point I probably want to fix it. Today I also noticed the damn slip joint clunk when stopping. Guessing because it’s the warmest it’s been in months so that changes the viscosity of what little grease is in there.

Well if it matters any I was planning on picking one up later this year. I have a minor shudder and some droning. I will have to wait until my suspension is installed and then plan to work a an extra day or two to get the shaft. Unfortunately it’s a slow process because I want to have my truck...

He’s patient zero.

Shit”ll buff out.

You ever get an update back from your dealership?

Definitely take it in. Also make sure you’re remote starting it and letting in warm up a bit if you’re going to drive it to dealer in the next day or so. Keep us updated and good luck. Very weird that once yours is warm it works fine. Seems many people here (myself included) have the weird...

Well that’s good to know. I’ve already slowly mentioned this to my wife so I’ll let it stew for awhile and let her subconscious normalize the idea of me getting a tune. I just drop little hits every so often and then slowly mention them more and more. It works. Now to go look at my Bilsteins...

Yeah that would suck. Guess you’d get a rental and in the meantime you’ll have lots of cool stuff to buy for your Ranger. As long as I know it’ll get fixed and I’ll have a vehicle to drive I can play the waiting game. Mine isn’t super loud but definitely noticeable with the radio off. I’d be...

I get this same hum or droning very minor at those speeds but a bit more noticeable at 50-60 mph with a steady throttle input and no acceleration or deceleration. I’m guessing either front axle or driveshaft. Rpms don’t make a difference, only speed.

Awesome. Will do. I’ll keep an eye out.

Well if my transmission shifting and cold start confusion doesn’t get fixed at my next appointment, I’m getting a tune. I don’t trust my old windows computer and my wife has a Mac so I may be borrowing g someone’s computer to do the install. Just mentally adding it to my long list of items to...

So how much horsepower will this add? Asking for a friend.

Nice, I’ve got my appointment with them in March for Bilsteins on all four corners and the global rear leafs springs. They were really nice on the phone and answered all the questions I had. I would have already had it done but had to push back my appointment to have the Ford dealership look at...

Yeah they told me it would be month before they could do the windshield recall on mine. Seems fine so I’ll most likely leave it. I would have had it done if they had gotten me in in a reasonable time frame but as of not I’m not going to worry about it.

Nice, yeah the ones that were on the truck were horrible. They only lasted 7 months or so. Probably we’re bad before I got the truck. Icons have been pretty good. When the summer rainstorms come I’ll really be able to test them out.
