This is interesting, several years ago I wrote into Motor Trend magazine after they touted how the Tesla trash can and Rivian were the wave of the future. Yet their Tesla truck couldn't hardly make 220 miles on a charge and lost battery charge % overnite in Reno NV in the cold because the...

Ya, what he said!

It looks like an emblem. The problem with change is some people like it and some do not. Still says Ford.

The way to solve this problem is on your way to work stop and fill up the tank and get some coffee and donuts. Then both tanks are full! Problem solved.

Look around the site, some people have fixed it without pulling the dashboard, just working around it.

Thanks everyone. I jacked up the truck, pulled the boot back and lubed the shit out of the splines on the drive shaft. Sounds much better! I took the thin metal squeeze clamps off and used some medium sized zip ties on in their place. This will now be an annual maintenance item.

I'm getting ready to change the 2 differential oils and the transfer case oil this weekend so I'll look at the drive shaft and u-joints

Driving in 2WD, I've had the truck 18 months and only switched it to 4 low and 4 high twice to ensure the solenoids still work correctly. The only reason I suspect the transfer case is the read diff still feels tight without slop.

Just a quick question, is there any way to remove the slack or freeplay in the transfer case of a 2019 XLT FX4? If I come to a quick hard stop in town, when i take off there seems to be some small jolt like the transfer case has to "catch up" with the rest of the drivetrain. Yesterday I drove...

Luckly my Ranger doesn't have those pretty chrome plates, but to stop the scratching i bought a roll of 6" wide fake carbon fiber vinyl and put it on the step plate to keep it clean and scratch free.

True, locktite works in the threads when to air is pushed out. I know it sounds wierd but when I worked in the advanced development center for a automotive steering suplier we used numerous different types of locktite (different colors for different strengths) and it's all the same. Locktite on...

That was from the old days when the rubbers seals swelled with regular oil. I believe tolerances are better nowdays, i wouldn't run anything but synthetic oil in my cars. My son's Toyota Corolla was boight with 130,000 miles and i went with synthetic and it has ran fine for 50k so far.

For me it seems like if I've owned a car for over 24 months and put new tires on it something will happen in the next 6-12 months.

Wow, I've never had an extended warranty except for the ones the dealer provided, I'm 68 and the 1st one I ever bought was for this Ranger last year. 1st Ford I've owned in 32 years, the other was for a 2019 Honda Pilot we purchased this year, the dealer threw in a 2 year warranty free of...

There are several questions that must be asked. 1. Is it between 2019 and 2025. 2. How many miles are on the truck, if you have to buy an engine you must be over 60,000 and out of warranty. 3. Do you owe on the truck? 4. Are you that happy with it that you want to keep it several more years...

I just read the procedure, this makes tons of sense and doesn't seem that hard to do. Thanks

Parkinson's?

Although I only have 40,000 miles on my 2019 Ranger FX4 the transmission has seen the dealer several times and since i added the Lube Guard Platinum it seems to shift much better. I want to change the differential oils as well as the transfer case oil. Any suggestions? In all my other vehicles i...

Did you swipe along the presets and then the next set comes up? I have about 15 different presets.
