Just one data point. On around town 100%, I get 19.5-20.5 MPG. My Ranger is a 2022 LTX FX4. The more I drive on the freeway (as long as I keep it under 70), I get about 2.0 MPG better, call it 22 MPG average. If I am driving on fire roads, logging trails and 4X tracks (about half my driving...

I will try and get one tomorrow. I just used black high temp RTV and squeezed out a dam around that one center clip (I cleaned the plastic on top with alcohol before applying the RTV). That center clip sits exactly over #4 cylinder and just a car wash will result in a puddle of water on top of...

You are probably right. My truck leaked from the center clip down into #4 even with going through a car wash, decent rain, etc. I fashioned an RTV dam around that center clip and now rain/carwash water is diverted away from the #4 plug. My cover does seem to shield #1-#3 plugs.

I changed mine not long ago, I replaced both with WIX.

I think what you see on the porcelain of those plugs is called Corona Stain and is normal. I think the plugs actually look fine. They don't appear to be running lean or rich, temp range appears right. I probably wouldn't have changed them, maybe just checked the gap and sent them.

I have a Gator Soft Trifold Tonneau on my 2021 Ranger SuperCrew. I damaged it slightly this week and was wondering if anyone had disassembled theirs and what the project was like. I bent the bow that is the one closest to you when standing at the tailgate. It actually isn't a bow, but a cross...

Great advice right there. Enjoy your new truck. My Ranger is literally the perfect truck for me.

I can't see any irregular wear, but if you are sure you are getting it after an alignment and rotation, it likely is the tires. It happens from time to time, you get a bad tire(s).

I think you can predict if you will have something waiting for you when you take that coil pack and boot off #4. With the garden hose, you can just spray your windshield and top of the back part of the hood for a few minutes. Then pop the hood and check that center clip that hangs over #4. If...

Absolutely, the damn thing doesn't extend back to cover #4. You have to fix the source of the leak above it, regardless of whether you have the cover or not. A class action lawsuit of all this nonsense seems right to me.

Spot on. I bought an original Ford unit before they were discontinued for like $135. My goal was to keep water out of the spark plug wells. The only spark plug well that ever got water in it was #4. That water leaked (from any source) directly from the center clip on the trim above #4...

That might fit, but it is completely different than the Ranger engine cover.

Back when I had a Jeep Wrangler, I found a couple screws on the passenger floor. I posted on a forum with the same question you had and a guy who worked in the factory said they roll down the line with the fasteners in the passenger footwell for a particular operation. When they put them in at...

I remember that one. The dealer (a big one in a prosperous area) really tried to screw this guy over, claiming because he didn't perform the TSB, he was on the hook for the corrosion. Like a customer knows about TSB's. I am still trying to understand how someone gets repeated water pooling in...

Bad luck. I would just pop it off and send it to Fox for a rebuild. Maybe try a sad story to get it expedited due to its early demise and the inconvenience of it all…

The harder part is figuring out what that pile of tan bark weighs? Big difference wet to dry. :)

Sounds like you drive a lot. To me, with the kind of miles you put on a truck and given your self confessed total lack of knowledge of all things mechanical, you really need to find a skilled shop you trust and start writing checks. Given you didn’t mention any puddles of coolant on the garage...

Yeah, I think I would just take door number 1. Good luck.

I have and it used to work like a charm (I have wondered if my periodic cleaning of the lint might be at the core of my issues with that connector). Pocket lint would build up so much, it would be hard to snap in the connector (pretty much Levis most days) . My problem is with the conductors...

I always buy the MFI Certified cable. In my case the problem with my lightning port isn't the cable as even genuine Apple cables are intermittent. In my phone's case, the problem is the lightning connector on the phone. That is what is intermittent. I just am lucky that the connector on the...
