Sync only connects to one phone at a time. When it powers up it looks for the phone designated as the primary, if it doesn't find it will look for a secondary phone. Sync does not connect to two phones at the same time.

The Ranger is not a flex fuel vehicle that has a sensor in the fuel line that can measure the ethanol content. The folks playing with E85 in their Rangers have had a tune created specifically for E85. Unless you have a tune that is specifically adjusted for E30 you are running your engine lean...

I live south east of Boston and got quotes from Line-X, Rhino Liner and Bullet Liner. They were all $550 to $650 and Line-X had multiple grades which cost more. I went with Bullet Liner because they were the closest to my house.

I just did a quick pursue of Edmunds and every non luxury manufacture has multiple models with a MSRP under $30k and a number of them have a model for under $20k. The issue is you will never see them on a dealers lot because no one will buy them. Virtually everyone wants all the bells and...

The Sync Home screen is broken into three segments like the new Android Auto update.

First On Race Day

FWIW, I have been visiting my daughter in Texas for the past week. She has a 22 BMW X7. The infotainment system in this car is the slickest I have seen. Besides having wireless AA and CarPlay built in you can be running both the factory nav and Google Maps simultaneously. You can switch back and...

FWIW, about 35 years ago my wife's ex decided it would be a good idea to pour enamel all over my white car. He dumped a gallon of dark green and dark grey on it. In desperation I went to the self serve car wash. The high pressure wand blew the paint off the car in sheets. A razor blade scrapper...

Statistically a vehicle is most likely to have issues during the warranty period. It is referred to as early life failure and is a characteristic of all manufactured products. For the past 20 years I worked for a defense contractor and to get around the early life failures we did stress...

I have my phone set for automatic updates so they just happen. But last week I did get a prompt that I needed to accept for 28 updates all at once. Didn't go through the list to see if Ford Pass was one of them. Figured there must have been an Android issue that caused basically all the apps on...

I am on 4.24.3, seems to load quicker but nothing new.

Last time the Rangers tires touched the dealers lot was a week after I got it to.pick up some stuff I got with my points. That was August 21 and 23k miles ago.

Over the course of approximately 100,000 miles on the 2.3 Ecoboost in a Mustang I found that the 2.3 is not happy much below 1500 rpm. It is not lugging persey it is just not smooth, you also get better mileage if you keep the rpm between 1500 and 2000 when cruising. The FP tune will adjust...

Where I live we have had nothing but E10 available since the 90s. I have used it in all my lawn equipment since then and have never had an issue. I do put Sta-Bil in my lawn equipment gas as soon as I fill the can. I had gas.in my generators tank that was probably 4 years old and the generator...

I have the 1" spacers on my Tremor and it is perfectly level when measured with a level on the rocker or frame under the cab. There is a little more gap on the rear wheel wells compared to the front but it is barely perceptible. I have seen a lot of Ranger pictures on this site that the front...

Interesting you mention u-joints being out of phase. I am building a Factory Five Racing 33 Speedstar kit. There are 5 u-joints in the steering from the end of the steering column to the input to the steering rack. Folks that have older kits all the joints are in phase and they report slight...

Another option that has been successful for me in the past is to fill gaps in isolator bushings with RTV.

Tremor is an off road package that you can get on an XLT or Lariat trim Rangers. Whether the extra $4200 for the package is worth it only you can decide. If you plan to off road and do not want to go to the aftermarket for all the upgraded suspension pieces it probably is.

Not really, it is an option package that you can get on either the XLT or Lariat trim.

I have tried the SCT canned tunes on a Focus ST, Ecoboost Mustang and my Ranger. In the case of the Focus and Mustang I found the throttle response a little to abrupt for a daily driver. The throttle response on the Ranger was fine but the transmission tuning though better than stock wasn't...
