I charge as needed, with a trickle charger. Like yourself I don't drive it much, maybe less than 500 miles a year. The Merkur Scorpio also has an AGM battery that is about 5 years old. It is driven more regularly. Despite being more than 34 years old it is still a daily driver and has...

Project farm on youtube did a comparison of K&N vs. other filters. They don't filter squat. If you are racing, then maybe, but not for a daily driver where you want to get long life out of the engine.

Actually 5 years for an AGM is short. I've got a red top Optima in my sports car and it is over 10 years old. I bought a new AGM for my 2019 Ranger last fall. ASS stopped working so I thought that the battery was on it's way out and it would probably give up the ghost over the winter...

Flow is improved with K&N filters, but filtration is horrible. Project Farm on youtube did a pretty good test that showed this. K&N's are great for racing and if you know that you will never be driving where it is dusty. So I would not recommend a K&N on the Ranger's turbo charged engine.

That's funny. My Merkur Scorpio had that same problem. There was a little plastic gear in the blend motors that would break with age. OK, so this might possibly be a DIY repair, (3d print a new part perhaps?) but I bet the real bugger is tearing down the dash and getting to the items in question.

I have a 2019 XLT with 18k miles. No complaints really. The only thing I don't like is the positioning of the 4wd knob on the center console. However I am concerned about the heater box failures mentioned. What specifically fails in this instance?

Well, Chris, this is how you are living in a state of denial regarding the scale of the problem of the disintegration of manufacturing in America. You think that the problem can be solved by buyer's choice. I think that this can only be addressed by policy/regulatory changes that make...

I'm just stating how it is Chris. I don't like how it is. We are at the point where, in many cases, we don't even have a choice to buy something American made. I think a big part of it comes down to excessive regulation that makes it too costly to manufacture here. You probably don't want...

Chris, 90% of the stuff you buy at Walmart or Amazon is made in China. Given time, Even Walmart will start selling re-branded Weize batteries. Amazon already does. Go cry to Amazon and Walmart to stop selling stuff from China. I don't like that this is how it is, but, apparently battery...

It is from China, but it is an AGM battery and I can find no fault in it's quality of construction. It was shipped in a well designed package. It has a warranty and the distributor is in the US.

I have a 2019 with less than 18k. I have noticed that on rare occasion I will get a harsh shift when first starting out in cold weather. If the truck is given time to warm up in the driveway then there is no issue. I avoid the issue by driving it mildly for the first few miles. Once warmed...

If you do the "spin to win" on the right tab they will typically give you free shipping.

No big deal. Production stalled as they reconfigure for the new generation. Just a shame they were not able to build up a surplus before the changeover. But there could be many reasons for that. Weak economic outlook going into the next year, etc.. Not having inventory for a popular...

Definitely, Boat motors never get a rest. It is like they are on a dyno all the time. I had no idea they were using the Ecoboost in marine applications. I'll have to look that up. The lower end on the 2.3 has forged components, and I am not too worried about that. The only thing I can...

There is a simple device, it is a 9v battery with a diode that plugs into the cigarette lighter. This keeps the system memory alive while you change out the battery. Does anyone know if this works satisfactory with the Ranger?

Fine - but does that effectively stop the "pry method" that thieves are using to pop open the gate?

My 2019 is sitting at little above 15k miles. The Auto start/stop has'nt worked for the past year or so. I get the message on the display "shutting down to preserve battery". But she can still sit for a week and still start up just fine. Confused. I bought a bargain Weize AGM battery for...

$480 is just a little ridiculous. For example, take a 2005 Sport Trac. A pair of aftermarket lenses are 89 bucks. Somebody is making a killing. This is all happening because of what Ford is charging. Answer is simple. Don't break a lens and don't let anyone steal them.

The problem with a deterrent that is not on the exterior is that the thief will still attempt to gouge around the handle. With an exterior plate they will give up right away and move on.

Yeah, ONLY $480, wonderful.
