Managed to get most of the wiring done. That means soldering new connectors for the headlight, intercooler map sensor, small horn in fender, main horns and side light. Had two extra small wires that are apparently for the ambient air sensor. It was completely missing. Fortunately they're very...

A few pics of the new insulator vs. the OEM plastic.

Rebuilding a 2020 XLT that had front driver damage. Removed all the damaged sections and took the truck to a local body shop for some frame work, new radiator support and paint the new hood and fender. I supplied all the new parts. Those who have followed my threads know what a nightmare it's...

Here's a parts miracle if I've ever seen one. No less than 13 local and online salvage yards either wouldn't or couldn't allow me to get the front left wiring with connectors for whatever reasons. One local yard said they had a 2020 but it had front end damage and doubted the parts I needed...

I suspect the rag was at the inlet but not against the veins, allowing only a minute amount of air through. Didn't investigate further after pulling the stupid rag out.

It's come a long way... And after looking at that picture, I just realized something. The original fan was clear-ish yellow. The fan on it now is black. They said nothing about replacing the fan. Obviously they damaged it somehow and replaced it with a new one and never told me. They also left...

Problem solved. I had started a thread about the lack of charge issue but will continue the general rebuild here. Another member had questioned if I had left a rag in one of the pipes when everything was put back together. That was highly unlikely given how thorough and experienced I am. But as...

To be honest I am neither patient or tolerant. But when you have an end goal in mind, you just have to keep at it until you either achieve the end result you want, or you roll the thing into an abyss to never haunt you again.

The rag was at the turbo inlet but even if it was resting against the veins, it's highly unlikely there would be damage. The rag would probably just keep the shaft from spinning, which in part may have been the case. Since it's the exhaust that spins the shaft, it would just sit stationary...

In a thread I started last year, all the drama was detailed. It wasn't just the body shop I was having issues with. Parts suppliers were causing me grief as well. Started off with an aftermarket radiator support that showed up with rust in the welds. It went back. The Ford Parts sourced support...

Problem solved. Was looking over the intake system in the shop manual and as I kind of started suspecting, there's nothing in the intake normally that would prohibit airflow as much as was being observed. Rp930 suggested a rag was left in the intake somewhere. Me doing that would be highly...

This 2020 Ranger XLT with 34k miles was a salvage rebuild having been hit in the front driver corner. It sat for almost a year at the body shop while they dinked around doing some frame and body work. I recently got it back and replaced the intake manifold (lower vacuum connector was broken...

SHE LIVES...mostly. Fired right up after sitting without a battery for over a year. Two warnings came up on the dash - Brake System and Over Temperature. Really hoping it wasn't actually overheated at some point and the error is still stored in the ECU. The motor sounds good and idles well, if...

Another member suggested these are impact sensors. Figured out where they go after noticing from a disassembly photo the pair of wires with clips at the bottom of the radiator support. Picked up some antifreeze, topped off and cleaned up the battery and connections and am very close to firing...

Figured it out. Noticed these two wires with clips at the bottom of the radiator support. Took a closer look and that's where the sensors mount.

That would make sense.

I posted this separately as well. Need to find out where these sensors mount. I took lots of pictures during disassembly but apparently not enough in the right places. There's one behind each headlight bucket. Thank you. BTW, aside from the above, we're down to filling up the cooling system...

Any chance one of you could see where these sensors mount on a 2020 XLT? There's one on each side behind the light buckets. I took a lot of pictures while removing stuff but apparently not enough in the right places. Thanks in advance.

Perfect. I'll take them. I'm in Utah, 84040. I wouldn't need the pieces aft of the main hose on the hot side. Just the main hoses that connect to the intercooler with the retainer clips. Less parts to ship. To be honest I only need the clips. I'd pay you the $20 plus shipping if you wanted to...

Rebuilding a salvage Ranger and have somehow misplaced the two intercooler hoses/pipes over the year the thing was at the body shop. Bought a used set but they came without the retainer clips for the intercooler connections. I can't find these clips separately anywhere online or on Ford parts...
