  1. Truck "bucks" at slow, steady speeds

    I owned a 2002 Chrysler Sebring with the 3.7L V6 that was infamous for self-destructing due to oil sludge clogging the passages in the cam chain tensioner, causing the cam chain to go slack and jump teeth. The result was frequently bent or broken valves, and all the destruction that implies...
  2. Truck "bucks" at slow, steady speeds

    I can't entirely rule out bad gas, because I bought the truck with 895 miles on it. But I have put nothing but Top-Tier 93 Octane in it ever since I bought it, with the exception of one tank of Mid-Grade
  3. Truck "bucks" at slow, steady speeds

    Not trying to speak for the OP here, but mine is not so much RPM-related, but LOAD. He sees the trouble in gear and rolling, with a (very) light load (rolling resistance only, because slow speeds don't bring too much air resistance). Mine happens at light loads, AND at the lightest load of...
  4. Bucking/Surging Epidemic

    This isn't a Diagnosis / Service Manual, but it is a System Description, and has a lot of information that could be useful for diagnosis. Not model specific. Covers all models from the entire line, so you kind of have to know what system and parts apply to your vehicle. Title: 2019 MY OBD...
  5. Truck "bucks" at slow, steady speeds

    I have something similar, but worse. My idle is VERY uneven. Hunts from just under 1000, to 500 or so. Only at idle, or very light loads, like 20-30 mph, not accelerating or decelerating. Maybe one cycle per second, and it's not consistent. Occasionally stalls the motor when it drops too...
  6. Starting Ranger with FordPass in cold weather

    This one works too https://www.amazon.com/Royalfox-Buttons-Remote-Everest-Mustang/dp/B07S6M4R92 And the blue is a nearly perfect match for the paint on the truck
  7. E 15 gas

    Probably some type of cultural friction. I spent several years in Japan, and their business culture is ... different ... They were probably mad you guys didn't buy a rotary version from them... That would have been cool. But they had tip seal problems with that motor that never did get...
  8. E 15 gas

    I had the Mazda B3000 version, Model Year 2000, and it was a Flex Fuel vehicle. Somewhere along the way, it lost the leaf badge, but it had the sensor under the frame rail.
  9. Terrain management upgrade?

    Honestly, I don't think this has been answered conclusively yet, specifically for the XL (101A or not). I have the XL, and the 101A package, so I am interested in the answer to this question. The best answer I can find is mainly reading between the lines, and it's maybe. Lots of people with...
  10. How much squat at max payload?

    As it happens, I loaded mine up to 1800 or so just couple days ago. (Yep, a bit over spec, but not too much) I didn't measure the droop, but I took pics. Mine is a 2021 SCAB STX 4x4 with 18" wheels and 265/60R18 Stock Hankooks. No suspension mods. It's loaded with 26 boxes of tile @ 70.8...
  11. The Smell Good ??

    I see what you did there...
  12. Manual vs Automatic Transmission

    Sometimes people "don't want them" because they are only offered on the lowest trim level. (and lately not at all) Like the old F-150 with no radio, steelies and a vinyl bench seat. Product bundling affects availability. Presumes that only reason one would want a manual transmission is to...
  13. Manual vs Automatic Transmission

    old planes vs new planes is not the same as good pilots vs bad pilots. 1) The Red Baron was a genuine badass. I heard that once a guy managed to get behind him and he got out of it alive by flipping the plane around in a flat spin and shot him down while flying BACKWARDS. 2) Navy pilots...
  14. Manual vs Automatic Transmission

    Yep. But there's a reset block between N and R, so you have to release and press again to get in R. Gotta be coordinated to rock this baby.
  15. The Smell Good ??

    Haha! Cloth is more deadly to passengers, but melted vinyl stays melted...
  16. The Smell Good ??

    Good thing you don't have vinyl seats...
  17. Well, my Tremor is done.

    Sad day. That (was) a nice looking truck. At least you got a good payout.
  18. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    I figured the whole pallet would be too much @ 3600 lb…
  19. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Loaded her up in anger today. Twice. Bought some tile for re-doing the floors. Ended up to be 51 boxes of tile at 71 lb per box. Figured I’ve got a truck, and I’m gonna use it! Did the math, and found out I ordered 3,500 lb of tile. Oops. So I made two trips! Here she is loaded to the...
