I wouldn't mind a front-mount receiver. I know others have had these custom-fabricated. A readily available product from Curt or Cequent would be very nice.
Good Day, I'd like inner fender liners. If there were aftermarket liners so that the insides of the wheelwells, front and rear, didn't leave engine and frame exposed, that would be something I'd like.
Not to deviate too far from the 2.3L thread, but I like the Cyclone family - those are solid engines.
I have to believe that the various incarnations of the 3.5L EcoBoost are a fine engine based on my experience with a 3.7L Cyclone. I replaced the water pump on our old MKX, and that has the...
The 2019 Edge uses the 8F35, doesn't it? My wife's 2023 Nautilus has that transmission. I believe that's even still current in the (redesigned) 2024 model Nautilus when it's not a hybrid.
Here's what I hope is a simple question, and I apologize in advance if it has been asked before and I haven't found it in the forum.
Browsing Wikipedia today after watching TFL Truck's new Youtube video comparing the F150 to the new Hurricane-powered Ram, I read up on the Ecoboost engine family...
I like chrome. I was excited about my chrome bumpers. The dealer actually messed up when they put in the order and ordered a Sport package. I think I started to cry, because I saw that on the Ford order site at night when the dealership was closed. I think I e-mailed the saleslady three...
For me, I just wanted something not huge that could tow the boat. It was between the Ranger and Tacoma (and I considered a Colorado, but I'd had a previous Chevrolet I didn't particularly love). Ranger cost less than Tacoma, and I've been happy with our aging Lincoln. Plus, the dealer wasn't...
Does this trailer have controlled brakes, or surge brakes?
If they are surge brakes, then you don't need a brake controller, and you'll do fine with the 4-pin connector, until you need to back up. With surge brakes, there is usually a solenoid activated by the reverse light signal to...
Cylinder 1 is the one in the bottom of the photo, closest to the front of the vehicle. The one in the far back is #4, and I think that's the one you're mentioning. And yes, that does look like the boot over the high-pressure fuel pump is also covering the coil pack for #4 in that photo, but...
I had had an old Jeep that used to sometimes signal the wrong direction when it was supposed to do the three-flash lane-change.... Current cars don't have mechanical flasher mechanisms anymore; rather it's done in software/firmware. Reboot maybe? :)
Years ago, when our old MKX was new, the dealer changed its transmission fluid way early - too early (my wife brought the car in for its first inspection, and the service writer told her it was urgently needed). I think the car had about 12,000 miles on it, and it shifted just fine. I filled...
I haven't done the Ranger's brakes yet (I don't even have 5000 miles on it yet) but I have done the back brakes on my MKX a few times, and its rear calipers have to be wound back. I bought a Maddox-branded kit at Harbor Freight that has muliple plates for the rewind face. On the old Lincoln...
As to the 6G, if they made available a plug-in hybrid and a SuperCab, then it would be a maybe for me - but while I wouldn't mind a V6, I'd hesitate on the 2.7L because of its wet belt-driven oil pump. Oil-soaked belts aren't really the norm, and belt-driven oil pumps seem like a...
I wouldn't say it hunts for gears per se, but it definitely likes to select. Skipping gears is normal, as are delayed downshifts unless you plant the pedal. The only time it seems to sequentially shift or hold a lower gear, is in Tow/Haul mode. (For what it's worth, I haven't tried shifting...
Figured I'd close out my old thread - it was indeed a bad alternator. Followed by a bad-out-of-the-box aftermarket alterator. And now, with a Motorcraft alternator, it's happy.
Thanks to all.
Thanks. Definitely I'll double-check in the morning. I didn't actually disconnect the alternator electrical connections (I did disconnect the battery, though, so I will be sure to check to see that I actually did tighten that back down) while I was working, but the belt is surely a question...
Hi Everyone and Anyone Who Reads This,
My apologies for posting an MKX question on the Ranger forum, but since it's a Ford and there are so many very knowledgeable people here, I figured I'd ask in the General area.
Last week I replaced the (internal) water pump on my 2014 Lincoln MKX...
Where would I be looking for that electric coolant pump? By the overflow bottle? I have a 2022 with the auto stop-start delete, but my wife's new Nautilus (2023 model, 2.0L EcoBoost - very similar to the 2.3 if I am not mistaken) does have auto stop-start. I'd want to poke around that car...
