Using Forscan I reset my max charge on the battery to 90%. Since then I have stopped having issues of "deep sleep", slow screens, non-responding proximity sensors, etc. occur. It baffles me that Ford set the charge level so low on these batteries. My thought on using a battery maintainer is...

I see you are in NC. I am in TN, so we have similar winter weather. The issue for us is that often as the snow is occurring the temp is dropping fast, so what looks like a wet road under the snow is actually ice. For me, if I begin to feel some slippage then I hit the magic 4x4 button. Just...

I am a fan of the Bridgestones. I have the Dueller Alenza's now since I do not off-road my Ranger, but the Dueller AT's are very good. I ran these on a 2 wheel drive ranger I had a few years back and never had any issues getting anywhere I wanted to go, rain, snow, light mud, nothing was an issue.

My '19 is in the shop now for the HVAC box... Ugh. Otherwise, the truck has been very solid, so with almost 60k on it I can't overly complain. I did have to have the PCM reflash done to smooth out the transmission shifting, as the previous owner never did, and my dealer comped it. Fortunatley I...

In my '19 Lariat 4 door 4x4 I am seeing 21-22 consistently in commuter driving using 89 octane. On 87 octane I was seeing 20-21 consistently. Honestly very pleased with the mpg. My Sport Trac 4x4 was getting 15-16 in the same commuter traffic. With my leadfoot son now driving the 'Trac it still...

Hello fellow Tennessean! I am also enjoying my '19 Ranger Lariat 4x4. It does exactly what I bought it to do. I love the F-150, but just don't have a need for one. You are correct about the Tennessee rain of late! After a somewhat dry Fall season earlier, we are making up for the shortfall. Mine...

I just learned something new. :) I did not know that a smartphone can't make changes. I am using a Windows laptop.

Using Forscan, set battery percentage to 90%. SInce I did this no more deep sleep, no more slow splash screens and slow screens in general, and other little things are no longer occurring. Interestingly, my fuel mileage has actually gone up 1 mpg in commuter traffic. I am now seeing 21 mpg in...

I used to use my local dealer, but no more. My last repair was with a family owned independent shop. This shop deals with things like Ferrari's all the way down to my son's Escape. Very satisifed with their work, they got the vehicle back to us quickly, and repair was done correclty the first...

Forscan will operate off of a smartphone. You need a Bluetooth OBD reader to connect to the truck.

Are you familiar with Forscan? I reset my battery precentage to 90%. Several small electrical oddities have stopped on my truck, and no more deep sleep shutdowns. I have not a clue why Ford set the level so low...

I put a set of Vosla +50's in my son-in-laws Ranger. He is not much of a "car" person, but he immediately noticed the difference. They are the H11's that come from the factory. Your factory bulbs are the "long life" stye, which are terribly dim. No need for any adjustment to the headlamps with...

I turned the rain sensensing feature off. What I did not like is that the wipers would activate, run a few times, turn themselves "off" for a minute or two, then come back on, repeat, etc. Because they were not staying on continuous the auto headlamps would not turn on. I now use traditional...

I have 56k on my '19 Lariat with factory led's. No issues at all, and I leave the switch in the "auto" setting all the time. Very impressed with the light output, though I did have to raise them slightly as they were a little too low from the factory.

Possibly an auto stop eliminator device?? I have one on mine, though mine is plugged in where the button in the console is.

In my case, no. I literally only had to unplug the electrical plug from the actuator and plug it back in. For good measure I used Forscan to clear the code. All is good for me.

My 2019 also hated to run cold. Bad shifts and rpm's would hang from time to time. On my early build 2019 there was a TSB for a PCM reflash. Had this done a few weeks ago. All I can say is, wow, it truly resolved the issues! My dealer did remark, however, that this transmission we have does not...

If you have an early build 2019, it may need this PCM reflash, per TSB 19-2052. This has made a huge difference in mine! The cutoff date on the build of your truck is around the middle of Februaary, 2019. Mine was built in early February of that year. When I bought my truck this year it had...

A follow-up. After having my dealer perform the TSB reflash of the PCM I can truly say that between the reflash and replacing this DPFE sensor my truck is totally different for the better! The transmission is very smooth, no more low speed bucking and overall the things like idle are improved...
