  1. Ranger Keypad

    Same here. I picked mine up 2 months ago and it's still working just fine. I've been wondering though if there might be a way to connect it to vehicle power rather than relying on a battery. Yes, that would involve a hole but I'm thinking that might be preferable to having to replace the...
  2. XL vs XLT both with FX4, etc.

    Yea, my thinking is similar to yours. I navigate with my phone and I listen to my music on the radio/USB. I don't like it when the radio lowers in volume to get a navigation update as I'd rather just have both. All I want in integration is my phone to be connected to the radio for calls which...
  3. XL vs XLT both with FX4, etc.

    I priced both and ended up getting an XL with the STX, Tow Package and the 101A package for the Fob with the remote, cruise control and remote adjustable mirrors. I then added a bunch of options including the sliding rear window. For me, I didn't want the Sport Appearance Package nor did I...
  4. 12V to USB swap with pics

    Adding this to the DIY section since it's probably a better place for it. I posted: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/replaced-12v-outlet-with-usb.3306/ when I installed the first USB ports in my truck replacing the drivers 12V outlet. Today, I decided to move that one to the...
  5. Replaced 12V outlet with USB

    So as I was doing this mod I kept thinking to myself, "where have I seen spacers that will work for this?" I looked around the garage and kept thinking in my head that it was a piece of PVC tubing or something that was 1-1/8" ID but I didn't have anything. As I was making my spacer out of that...
  6. iPhone draws too much power

    Yea I had the same problem with an iPhone SE. I didn't much care as I have a 32G flash drive with a bunch of music on it that I had in my Canyon that I just moved over to the Ranger. My iPhone is connected via bluetooth for calls so I didn't much care if I can't plug it in to play music. I...
  7. Replaced 12V outlet with USB

    Inspired by Floyd's https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/members/floyd.678/ two posts: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/dash-tray-removal.3178/ and https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/in-console-usb-power.3220/ I visited the mentioned EBay seller and bought this...
  8. First Encounter in the "Wild" (Ranger's Spotted Megathread)

    I've either seen two white ones here in San Jose or the same one twice. The first time was over a month ago because it was before I got mine and the second one was yesterday but I was on my bike. The one I saw yesterday was white and it just said 4x4 on the back. Didn't get a good look other...
  9. Anyone have the stock alignment specs?

    Took the truck by Custom Alignment in Mountain View, CA today to chat with the very knowledgeable folks there. Walked in and was greeted by Alan. I told him that I came here for some advice as they had aligned my old '65 Mustang a few times a number of years ago. I was sort of expecting them...
  10. Move shifter from Drive back into Neutral

    Happened in my '65 Mustang getting on the freeway. Of course I had my foot to the floor accelerating and when I shifted I noticed that the pedal didn't come back up (throttle return spring came off). Just turned it off, pulled over, fixed the spring and sped off. Ah, the days of driving a car...
  11. Anyone have the stock alignment specs?

    I contacted an old friend who works for Folsom Lake Ford and he printed out the specs. These, above, are for the 4x4. The 4x2 is a bit different: Item Left Right Tolerance (Side to side) Camber Front 0.44° ± 0.75° 0.44° ± 0.75° 0.00° ± 0.75° Rear - - - Caster Front 2.90° ± 0.75° 2.90° ± 0.75°...
  12. Anyone have the stock alignment specs?

    Cool, thanks! I'll chat with the service guy to see if we believes me. Where did you get this from?
  13. Anyone have the stock alignment specs?

    Does anyone have the stock alignment specs? I ask because mine is at the dealer to have the tonneau cover installed but I also asked them to check the alignment since it wandered on the grooves in the cement highway. They said it had 3 degrees positive caster and they said that since they...
  14. Things I feel are missing/or needed on a Ranger

    Me too. I hate the foot brakes and I really, really, hate the electrical ones. Just give me a hand brake with a cable. Thanks Ford for giving me exactly that. Of course since my old GMC Canyon had the foot brake I still accidentally step on that pedal:-). It's only been 3 weeks so I'm still...
  15. lowering

    I think (maybe I hope:-)) that it's more than 1/2 in out of shortening the shackles as I'm just hoping to get less of a rake out of the stock setup. I agree that a flip kit is the way to go if one wants any more than a couple of inches. As a matter of fact, I'm kind of surprised the stock...
  16. lowering

    I was just out looking at mine. I'm fine with the front height even if it's a bit tall for a 4x2 but the rear is a good 3" taller than the front. I wouldn't mind dropping the rear about 2" to level it out and remove some of the extra gap. The front of the leafs won't come down any (I think...
  17. mud flaps????

    I too ordered them from the factory. I both like the look and that they will stop things from getting on the doors/bed.
  18. Playing CDs in Ranger

    Yep, that works. First press starts the music on my phone, the second pulls up a menu where I can choose the input similar to how the antenna button pulls up a choice of AM, FM1 and FM2. Thanks!
  19. Playing CDs in Ranger

    There isn't a source button that I know of. There is a button with a picture of what looks like an antenna on it which, when pushed, shows AM, FM1 and FM2 and I can select. There is a button with a musical note that, when pressed, starts playing the music from my phone.
  20. Playing CDs in Ranger

    I'm interested in how USB drives will work with normal Sync since that's what my Ranger has. I have a USB stick that I had in my aftermarket stereo in my Canyon that I plugged in and got the popup that it's indexing it that goes away. From reading I need to push the "media" button but I don't...
