Kid was seriously trying to keep that thing on top of his dad but dad prevailed ,lol.

Same assembly plant as the Bronco so you're probably not that far enough off to be funny :)

I was thinking they had designed the cooling system so that it backlflows through the turbo for awhile after shutdown without having to utilize a pump. Could have swore I read it somewhere when I first got my Ranger but I have slept since then, lol. Edit: I read on the F-150 and Mustang...

My understanding is that the engine design keeps the oil (or water , or is it both ?) , circulating after engine shutdown. I thought letting the turbo cool down before shutting off was a thing of the past. I still change oil at 3500 though. I never run any vehicle hard and then just shut it off...

I've always thought of it a bit differently I suppose. The liquid refrigerant flashes to a gas inside the (Evaporator) coil and draws heat from the interior into the refrigerant which is then sent to the compressor to turn into a liquid again and then flows through the (condensor) coil to...

Ok. I always try to remove the heat from the inside air , not cool the outside air.

You only need to cool @20 degrees below ambient. Anything more is awesome . You need to put the AC in recirculate on very warm days to keep cooling down the inside air. If you try to cool the outside air constantly you'll be losing the battle :)

ORLA but we'll go with your belief , LOL

I never understood the need of someone to post simply to put something down .

I've worked at a tier 1 supplier for Ford , MB , Stellantis , Samsung , GM and BMW for 12 years now . I'm aware of how the supply chain functions . It's an excuse at this point.

I think 3 months is kinda ridiculous. It was inconvenient that I had to wait 7 weeks to get a front axle back in Sept '21 . I'd bet that if Ford credit has the loan they would think it was ridiculous if they did not get payment for 3 months. Everyone seems to be using the supply chain excuse...

One at a time so better be early and get in line ,lol.

This is what I was thinking. I have a friend that only keeps a vehicle a year or 18 months at the most . He says changing oil is just a waste of time and money ,lol.

Quite positive I do not want my gun flying around if I have to brake suddenly or get in an accident . I use the magnet mount in my Bronco .

Love the sound of hail pinging off of my metal roof. It makes sure I'm awake for the tornado that's following.

One of Ford's biggest blunders was tying the interior trim accents to the model trim. All trims suffer from this except the Base and you can no longer order one of those . It entirely depends on the exterior color choice as to whether or not it looks totally ridiculous . I'm not a fan of orange...

Oh I don't know , maybe fuel diluting the oil , transmission issues , driveshaft issues , water leaking into the cabin , water rusting the sparkplugs , service brakes problems , HVAC issues , tailgate needing a damper etc. Then there's this ,LOL...

To keep it simple I won't list all the issues with the Ranger I have read on this forum ,lol. My 2dr Bronco Badlands has been great, as most of the ones out there have been. The 2.7 is a winner and I still don't know why they did not offer it in the Ranger. I picked it up in May after a 1020...

Yes the correct oil level is to be checked when there is still oil coating all the internals for proper lubrication when running. If a vehicle sits long enough for all oil to drain back into the pan it will generally show higher than the dipstick full mark.
