We currently have -3º F here. My truck is parked outside, and the sun is shining on the driver's side, making the TPMS readings higher. I last adjusted to 30 psi at about 26º. Odd that they put waves under the oil pot for oil life- Must be the fuel in the oil. ?

I think he qualifies for the Olympic Break Dance Team.

If you have the 8" screen, you can align the colored lines with the parking lot lines for a straight shot back. If not, tilt the left mirror down so that you have a clear view of the left lot line. With a little practice, you'll back in laser straight.:thumbsup:

In some cases, the person parking in a handicap spot is a caregiver or family member who drives the actual handicapped person(s), so they may well be "dis-disabled (thanx, W)." They are supposed to have a Handicap license plate or a hang tag on the rearview mirror. If you see a vehicle in a Hcap...

I got the recall notice and the "Congratulations on your new Ford!" letter almost the same day. @Larrykime,s method is the way Ford instructions read. It's a moot point , anyway. You cannot install a Child Safety Seat in the rear of a Supercab properly, no matter what. The seat cushion is not...

I backed into a parking spot always, when I drove semi and still do with my Ranger. In a semi, you are completely blind to the area immediately behind the trailer or the cab if bobtailing. The clear view of the rear is about 50 ft out. You can't see pedestrians or forklifts or anything else in...

S & H Green Stamps were popular up through the 70s. Many stores, gas stations and supermarkets would carry them. You would get a number of stamps based on the amount of your purchase and paste in your Saver Book. when your book(s) was full you could redeem it/them for merhcandise, like steak...

Happy Rangerversery, Mark! I also have a SuperCab, with 76,000 miles -I call mine "The Truck," after no one in particular. Interesting story on how BB King came to name his first (and all subsequent) guitar "Lucille"

I find on my '21 that depressing the brake pedal before turning the key, and keeping depressed when going from Park to Drive or Reverse, it shifts smoothly. Depressing the brake after it's running and shifting into gear simultaneously will make the transition from P to D/R much harsher.

Access tonneaus are listed on Real Truck's website, but they are not part of Truck Hero, AFAIK, and they are available several other places. I got mine installed by my selling dealer when I bought the truck.

Open the garage door using the house keypad or pushbutton on the wall. On your garage door motor, there should be a switch for normal operation and programming a new device, Homelink in your case. Put the switch in program (might be labelled Pair)mode and then follow the instructions for pairing...

As far as lower MPG is concerned, winter blend gasoline has volatile chemicals added to aid cold weather starting, but also decreases milage. My 2021 started getting better milage after fully breaking in, about 2,500 miles. RealTruck also carries Access soft tonneau covers. I've been very...

Embarrassing Factoid: I was well into my adulthood before I figured out what type of animal Goofy was. Pluto I got instantly in my preschool years, but Goofy was a curious amalgam of body parts much like how some Egyptian royalty reliefs have human bodies and animal heads.

The map lights can be turned on or off by pushing the light itself on or off, when the 3 position rocker switch is in the Auto (center) position. There is a normal ~20 second delay after the door is closed and then they should fade out. If they are still on after 30 seconds, push on the map...

Scrolling through the TSB, it appears to be a 10.6 hr job (Ranger 4X4), so using a nominal $220/hr shop labor rate, that comes to $2,332± for labor alone.

I would guess the TPMS device inside the wheel has a dead/weak battery. My 2009 Mariner has displayed the TPMS fault for several years now. The dealer Service Dept did a scan for another problem and left rear dead sensor also showed up.

Do you have the original battery? Often the cause of berserk displays and malfunctioning devices is a weakening battery. You can have the battery load tested for free at any retailer that sells automotive batteries, or a Ford dealer. If you wind up installing a new battery, be sure they reset...

Ya done tripped my OCD switch, Dave. For those of My OCD kicked in, Dave: For those of us South of the boarder, Ford trucks were branded as Mercury's by Ford of Canada 1946-1968. From 1969 on, they had the same nomenclature as the US. But Dave's Dad might have had a Dodge if it had a foot...

Thanks for the detail, Kent. My bent and twisted mind seeks out word play; actually two in this case. I understood how the verb "expire" was used in your post, but I changed it to a proper noun to make it a model name, "I had a Ford Expire back in the 70's." The other play on words is, it...
