I know that the water/moisture damage has been floated as a theory, but I don’t think we have any proof yet of that being the cause, right? So far everyone I’ve seen who has performed the service manual test on the sensors they’ve replaced have found them to pass the test. That leaves a little...

The CarPlay not reconnecting I would lean towards diagnosing as a pure software bug. The rest of it sounds more likely to me as software behavior secondary to a hardware issue. I say “secondary to” in the sense that a fault in one sensor or subsystem might intentionally cascading to others as a...

I also picked these up a few months back. Curious what PSI you ended up choosing for them. By the book it seems like they should call for the same 30PSI that the door sticker lists, but they felt kind of “soft” at 30. Maybe they’re just stickier but the steering effort at low speed was a lot...

Pressure tester tool showed up in the mail today so I hooked up to my original (now replaced) DPFE sensor, powered by 5.0v at the bench. With 9 inHg vacuum on the shorter tube it reads 3.28v, with 9 inHg vacuum on the longer tube it reads 0.29v. When I bleed the vacuum it updates to 1.43v in a...

@airline tech I appreciate this info and all the other info you've shared. I haven't had any trouble codes before or after I first noticed the behavior last November. Coolant level full, haven't had any change in that since I bought used a year ago. I don't have a vacuum tester (ordered a cheap...

Any suggestions for how to proceed? Bought the assembly with hoses from Levittown, installation went smoothly. Anyone else had one dead-on-arrival? Is there anything I can check to diagnose it as faulty to rule out some other issue?

The issue I’m feeling is happening around 30 or 40mph, steady speed, often in 7th gear. Flat ground and I can watch the gear indicator it’s not changing. I also feel the sensation every few seconds and it’ll happen for an extended period of time.

Yeah, still having the feeling of hesitation occasionally when driving with very light throttle at constant speed around town. I know the main recommendation is to replace the pressure sensor, but has anyone replaced the valve or actuator that complements the sensor? (In case it’s the same...

Apologies if I missed this somewhere in the 42 pages, but has anyone else continued to have symptoms even after replacing the DPFE sensor? If so, what else did you check or end up fixing?

I may have answered my own question/confusion: The small wire gauge and long cable length in a typical travel trailer situation limits the max amperage to the TT battery due to the wire resistance. That probably explains why, among owners of my type of trailer, I’ve never heard of an issue with...

Except for the PC monitor and maybe the laptop I’d try to power the rest of those things directly off DC instead of through the inverter. I found 40 and 60W USB-C outlets on Amazon that connect to the 12V system and that runs my laptop and charges all my devices more efficiency. If you’re...

I don’t discourage anyone from trying to see if their dealer has success, but several of us have already been told various solutions like that by our dealer that ended up to be false, for the Ranger specifically (shocking, right?). Just don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work, and yes the...

I’m pretty sure it’s not. I went deep down this rabbit hole and read through other existing threads on this forum and the end answer was that the Ranger keypad is different from all the other Ford keypads and none of the reset mechanisms other than the factory code work with it. Also to my...

What is the bigger goal here? They dont charge for the FordPass part, right? Is it just about enabling the hotspot in the vehicle for other WiFi devices to connect to? If so, why not just get a MiFi on your Verizon account and leave it in the car?

@Jmarler I’d be curious to learn more about what they replace when it happens. One dealership told me I needed a new carrier bearing, the other said it’s fine. I also have a droning noise at about 60-70 that increases when I let off the gas, sounds like it’s coming from the rear.

I’m curious for anyone who had this issue and resolved it with the EGR sensor replacement: Did you ever also notice the issue while towing? I first noticed something was off one day while towing a travel trailer at 65 on the interstate, there was a cyclical vibration that increased and decreased...

Stock ‘21 Lariat no tune, used, 37k miles, my first winter with it: A couple weeks ago I had a similar issue about the time weather changed to 20’s and 30’s. Each time I started it cold and was turning left out of the driveway and begin accelerating I’d hear the RPMs spin up and then a lurch as...

If you haven’t seen it, read through this thread. I’ve been following it because I bought a used ‘21 with 27k on it and one dealership said it needed a new carrier bearing but the dealer closer to home said it “couldn’t replicate”. My noise pretty distinctly comes from the rear and is loud...

I can confirm the paint on my TrackPro spring bars is also affected by rust after one season but it isn’t affecting function. I have been refining my technique but I don’t have any real issues with the L-brackets or handle at this point (except my brackets were put on crooked by the dealer)...

I just recently took my 20' Airstream to the CAT scales and there were a few surprises from the measurements: Without the spring bars of the WDH installed the trailer added 940 lbs to my rear axle even though the listed tongue weight of the trailer is only 535 lbs. Some of that due to weight...
