  1. Tow package and Trailer brake controller install

    This was everything I got to do the tow package and brake controller: KB3Z19D520A - RANGER 2019-2023 TRAILER HITCH 2" RECEIVER FU5Z-14489-A - connector sleeve/7 and 4 pin connector KB3Z-15K868-D - wiring harness (remove existing wiring harness/4 pin plug and replace with new harness). I have...
  2. 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat - New Battery Experience

    I like that. I am partial to "Parts-Swapping Monkey" as the moniker for inept technicians...
  3. bouncy ride

    Weird. Count me in the group that thinks the stock ride is quite good. Of course I am coming from an F250 that rode like a lumber cart with steel wheels...
  4. Tow package and Trailer brake controller install

    Yes, this did require removing a few extra trim panels, but I do think it is a much better place for the trailer control knob than the one the instructions say, plus less risk of hitting it with my knee like I am sure I would.
  5. Plywood platform

    Coming from a full 8' bed F250, I knew I would miss the bed size but the fact is I just don't need it all that often anymore. But I do need to carry full sheets of plywood from time to time, and it is often expensive hardwood veneer stuff that I don't want to damage. Here is my solution: a...
  6. Tow package and Trailer brake controller install

    First, many thanks to the members here who posted details on part number and instructions in the various threads. I finally got around to ordering the parts and received them just before Xmas so I could install while I was off work over the holiday. No in-process photos as it is mostly well...
  7. Question pls

    Happened to me too, some 35-40 years ago with a GM car. That was back when they had 2 keys, one for the locks and one for the ignition. Got in just fine but ignition wouldn't turn... Then the clue arrived in my head and I skeddadled.
  8. Torque Value and Tips for removing Tow Hitch Receiver?

    Hmmm. Never got notified of posts on this thread... I guess I was not completely clear - that was the installation manual for the hitch, not the owners manual. You never get any torque info from owner's manuals these days...

    Ford manual says 148 ft lbs:
  10. Another Mouse In The Truck Issue…

    I did the same to the engine air intake as I have run into the issue in cars before. Had an airbox filled with chocolates one time. No idea where they got those from... but it melted into the filter and required replacement that time. Seen acorns before too... Not a lot to grab onto there with...
  11. What noise am I hearing?

    Well I'm a Dave...maybe not "the right Dave" but still a Dave. Maybe I can be a substitute Dave for now? ?
  12. What noise am I hearing?

    Well it isn't squirrels...at least not yet... Airline Tech - that sounds like it. Seems weird the turbo wastegate would actuate when sitting there but that must be it. Mystery solved!
  13. What noise am I hearing?

    I've noticed a few times with the truck parked in my shop and I am in there when it is relatively quiet that I hear a noise from the front of the truck. Sounds like an actuator moving. Short whirr that lasts a second or so. I don't have the key with me or anywhere near, and not touching it or...
  14. New '23 SC - need tow package

    Thanks for that!
  15. New '23 SC - need tow package

    Wow. Great responses. Thanks guys! :thumbsup: Answers to questions: - Why not aftermarket? I just want it to be OEM, and the fact that it tucks in better is a plus. Not worried about the drop ht as I am coming from an F250 (wanna talk about HIGH?!?!). Plus I have some FordBux(TM) to burn. - On...
  16. New '23 SC - need tow package

    My plan was to order a new Ranger maybe next spring. I'll admit I have not been following the Ranger development that closely and was unaware that a new gen was coming out in '24. I wanted an Extended cab as I find a 5' bed too short to be useful and don't really need 4 full doors. 6' is at...
