Problem Resolved! I dropped it off at my local dealer who validated the power drain was just the result of a bad battery. They replaced the battery under warranty. Which meant, no charge to me!
i was a bit worried they might have called theWolfhaus 12v outlet in the bed something that...
I have had my Ranger For 1 year now. I just learned about the folding mirrors several months ago. Someone was putting together bulk bulk buys for an adapter that folded the mirrors automatically each time the ignition was shut off. For me, I do not have a need to fold them that much. I park...
Thanks guys! I will take all of this great advice in.
Bennett, I was hoping someone might comment on my choice of the negative connection. Much appreciated!
I got my fluke test meter out. I will be checking the Wolfhaus 12v port when I shut the truck off, and two hours later when I believe...
Since the beginning of May, my FordPass App has been alerting me that my truck is shutting down exterior functionality like remote start to conserve 12v power.
things I was doing to the truck around that time:
installed the Wolfhaus 12v outlet in the bed.
Installed the MX4 Tonneau cover...
I had the inevitable black screen of death on my sync 3 display screen in my Ranger. When I turned the truck on, the screen was dead. I drove around doing various things like stopping, opening and shutting the door and turning it on again. I couldnāt remember the rights steps to reset Sync so...
Hey LB!
for a swirl finding light, I actually use an Inexpensive LED flashlight from amazon that I got for under $25. When I was searching for a swirl finding light 5 years ago, I hooked up with a professional detailer who installed Modesta ceramic coating on my Mustang. I asked him what he...
My Blue Ranger came in yesterday. It looks pretty good in person for $14. I bought a display case as well so I can display it in my home office with other āstuffā I have out on display.
CLICK HERE if you want to get one. I donāt know about other colors or models.
I will give this a shot. Thanks for the heads up about it. Do you have any tips on working with it, and maybe a picture of something you coated with it? I know Iām asking a lot. Thanks!
I have had my Ranger for 11 months and 6,000 miles. After the initial detail I did after receiving my Ranger, itās been car washes or a quick foam cannon wash at home. It takes me a while to detail anymore and I usually need help finishing up due to some health issues. It took me 4 days and...
hello mtsoxfan!
you might want to get a nice car wash soap that will clean your truck and apply a thin layer of wax in the process. This might help you between individual steps to clean road grime and then wax. Something like this Wolfgang Car Wash Soap might do what you need between your full...
Here is where we differ. I wonāt rant and rave, but imho, ceramic coating is a massive step forward over wax. Iām not talking about ceramic coatings you can buy off the shelf at pep boys. I think Modesta is a leader and has the client base of show cars, exotics and people who value and fret...
Looks like you have it all covered. One more step I do these days. I donāt really like the process of claying. I certainly like what it does, but I have physical limitations and I need to be smart with my energy. Claying takes a lot out of me. I found these Clay Eraser Discs on the...
LIGHTNINGBLUE: I think you are my brother from a different mother when it comes to detailing! I am aligned with your comments. I also am a fan of Wolfgang products. I have just reordered what I needed to do a complete paint correction using Wolfgang product and some car pro mixed in their...
Hello Kimball, I donāt think you are off base at all. It sounds to me like you have your head right where it should be. Minus the ceramic coat, you are not talking about anything that would hurt your finish.
At less than 1,000 miles, this is a great time to do a through paint correction and...
I got the FordPass app running on my new iPad Pro 11. I also ordered the Veepeak ODBCheck BLE+ Bluetooth 4.0 ODB2 Scanner. I researched supported iOS apps and downloaded a few to play with.
Next up is researching iPad Holders for the truck. it looks like a window mount that would allow the...
Unless you bother to clean the tires. I always like white lettering out.
Each has their own style to select. I like looking at and appreciating different looks. Walking around car shows is a great time to do this and talk with the owners on what inspired them.
For exhausts, Iāve never seen anyone buy the OEM. Even 3-5 years later. I use a nice speed shop that handles my exhaust work. I let them dispose of them. Going back 5 cars they have bolted on the new stuff for around $50.
look on eBay or even this site, no one is bidding.
I still have 2...
I LOVE cars like the VW and Subaru groups that wanna run with the big boys.
As long as the drivers are just playing for fun. The guys that are to serious are for sure a risk to hurt innocent people. Those drivers, I donāt play with. They may think they were faster, but I donāt care. Iām not...
