  1. My warranty is about up. To extend or not-extend? What did AI think?

    IMO, as stated, $5K for 3 more years doesn't seem worth it.
  2. Wondering if anyone has ever requested / checked / reviewed the data Amazon has collected on you?

    I get all that. But remember, those services are 'free' for a reason. As they say, if you aren't paying for it, YOU are the product. All those services are paid thru advertising. There are some, I guess, would be happy paying fees for use of Goggle or the like.
  3. Wondering if anyone has ever requested / checked / reviewed the data Amazon has collected on you?

    Nope, never checked, never cared. So what. Amazon knows I'm looking for a new tool, or clothing, and sends me e-mails of deals and sales. Or, that I'm watching movies on Prime.
  4. (Article) "Trump says Ford, GM pushing bill to restrict right to repair"

    If this does pass, (where's Louis Rossman when you need him) I imagine Extended Warranty sales will rise significantly.
  5. Tie Rods

    IMO, I'd just go aftermarket. Rockauto shows different P/N for left and right outers, but looks like inners are the same. 2021 FORD RANGER 2.3L L4 Turbocharged Tie Rod End | RockAuto MOOG used to be a reliable brand, but I haven't had to buy anything suspension related in years.
  6. IIHS Blames Advertising For America's Speed Problem

    Didn't read the article but sounds like advocacy for introducing speed limiters in personal vehicles. Tie that with "muh climate change", and it will easily pass.
  7. (Article) "Trump says Ford, GM pushing bill to restrict right to repair"

    Recalls that have to be fixed for free, whether it's in warranty or not.
  8. (Article) "Trump says Ford, GM pushing bill to restrict right to repair"

    Don't kid yourself, If Ford and GM can do it, all others will follow, including, Stelantis, Honda and Toyota.
  9. Code P0446 EVAP System Check Engine Light

    I remember on my old trucks, it was easier to take the bed off than trying to drop the tank. Don't know how hard that is on newer trucks.
  10. FORD says "Do Not Drive..."

    The report says "where the front lower control arm ball joints may have been incorrectly installed or repaired " Could be that it wasn't torqued properly, or that the ball joint isn't seated correctly in the LCA.
  11. FORD says "Do Not Drive..."

    Maybe they should have given those union workers $80/hour, I'm sure that would have prevented these 'installed wrong' defects.

  13. Ranger Raptor Owners, Alternator Question

    The 5G Ranger achilles heel is the low alternator. Really? I thought that was the 10R80? I don't have a Raptor but tried to look on my 24 FX4 2.7L. Can't even see the damn thing with all the stuff on top, and skid plates on bottom. Anyway, do you have proof that it's even something to worry...
  14. Center support bearing play?

    Front axle and drive shaft do rotate even in 2WD, it's just not engaged inside the x-fer case. Long gone are the days of lockout hubs.
  15. How about some Jokes [Admin: No Politics, Religion, Nudity, Explicit Posts]

    "Once I saw where the fuse box is..." so I can charge the customer $125 for checking the fuse. Anyway. Working in structural manufacturing and a weld fab shop, I can tell you THOSE engineers have never work in a fab. Confusing drawing, weld impossible to get to, dimensions that won't fit a...

    Oh, it's worse than that. BAMBI Mode, enabling High, Low, and Fogs on all at the same time. Some 5gers have done it. And 2nd: Driving in pouring rain without ANY lights on.
