If the water proves inconclusive I'd let the truck cool and roll underneath and look at the catalytic converter shield between the cat and the cab look for any shiney wear spots. Maybe take a screwdriver and take the handle and tap around the exhaust and heat shields for anything loose. When i...
Does the frequency change as the motor is revving? Also if it couldn't be recreated when wet could be a belt. Just for shits and grins pour some water on the belts while running and squealing and see if it changes? If no change, spray some wd 40 on the belt tensioner bearing while it is...
I'm old (68) and drive responsibly and get right around 19.5 to 20 mpg in town and 22-23.5 on the highway staying in the right lane at 68-70 mph. My 2017 Tacoma V6 and 2019 Frontier V6 got about the same in town and on the highway. It's a truck, at least you're not getting 12.5 like my 1976...
I have never bought into the Amsoil cheerleading and the pyramid selling structure reminds me of Amway.
If you change your oil regulary (what ever hole it goes into) a quality product should work. I use mobil 1 v twin in my motorcycle and love the performance. This video is interesting to...
The Ford Ranger FX4 package is an off-road focused upgrade to the standard 4x4, adding features like an off-road tuned suspension, skid plates, and an electronic locking rear differential, while 4x4 simply indicates a vehicle with four-wheel drive. The FX4 shocks and suspension components are...
I removed the connector and pulled out the sensor and then reinstalled it correctly. Reconneded the connector and still got a few phantom flashes over several days. I just put the step on upside down for now and all is well.
So I figured it out, sort of. I bought the truck a year ago and transfered the bump step to the Ranger and didn't have any issues for 11 months. Removed it to pull a car hauler trailer and changed back mid Jan and a week later the sensors started acting up. Didn't put 2 and 2 together until...
I went out and reseated both right side connectors several times. Drove over to the Dr and they worked good. Got back home and back on again. I'm going to switch one side to the other today and see how that goes and determine whether it is the sensor or connector.
All, I went out and started the truck to go to the gym this AM and while backing I to the parking spot my yellow right rear sensor was beeping and on. I got out and looked at the taillight and it was clean and didn't appear to have any water in it. When I came home backing into the driveway it...
Down in Florida unless you're mudding we don't use 4wd. I put mine in 4 wheel high twice and low once to pull out some shrub roots. I had a buddy who had a Hummer H2 who didn't switch modes at all for 2 years and when he did the selinoid didn't work. He was told to switch from 2 to 4H and 4L...
I went to harbor freight and got a siphon kit, opened the fill plug / dip stick hole on the side of the transmission and pulled out 10 ounces of fluid. Used a funnel and the hose to pour in 10 onces of the lubegard platinum and put it back together. ( I used an empty 12 oz water bottle to hold...
They replaced 3 pages of parts but had to do the the 4th gear"clutch" and the 8th gear "clutch"? I bought it as a certified Blue Oval vehicle and had a 90 day front to back warranty so after the first rebuild (before the 90 days of ownership) I have a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty on the...
