I hadn't thought of the manual option in it. My last truck was a manual, so I was happy with not having to change gears in this one. I will try this out when I head out later for some errands. I need to find someone who has a level driveway to recheck the fluid level, as the one I would normally...

It's definitely slipping. I went through a couple of transmissions on the Toyota I had, and it's one of the reasons I won't own another. I haven't tried it in Sport mode, but I use the tow haul mode a lot with traffic, as I don't like the constant changing of gears when left on regular drive. It...

I didn't see this until after your edit but that was going to be my guess. I am not sure what all is involved with it but I am sure someone will be determined enough to do it.

Well, Ford apparently has electric fans for some 2024 models with the 2.3, like the Mustang. I bet it won't be too long until someone figures out how to rig them to these 5th gens.

It still seems like a bad design either way. It is almost like they hope it goes bad to make extra money.

I have not, but I haven't had any noticeable leaks either. Wouldn't I have other issues besides fourth gear slipping if the fluid was low? Not familiar with that product. I generally steer away from fluid additives, though, as I have heard some real horror stories about them.

So, as the title states, my 19 Ranger has been slipping in fourth gear lately and sometimes when shifting out of fourth. Even when it's fully warmed up. I have only noticed it in fourth, though it has become more frequent lately. The fluid and filter were changed back in May, and it's been...

What exactly is the purpose of this hose? From my understanding, it somehow prevents the fan clutch from spinning? If so, why not replace it with a steel support bracket?

Ah, I thought I’d ask. I always thought it was dumb that if you hit a deer, that you couldn’t take it home as some sort of compensation for the heavy repair bill that it may have caused the vehicle.

Glad to hear you're ok. Is it too soon to ask about Bambi? Did you go home "empty-handed" after the hunting trip? Or did your buddy pick up a freshly hit fawn and take it home?

Two trucks with open rear ends and two with lockers, all were rwd. As long as you are easy on the throttle and following the path that most other vehicles have already taken, you should be fine. There is a member here somewhere that has had some really bad luck with frisbees so watch out for...

Changing the fluid and filter is the best way to go, as I understand the valve body tends to get a little sticky with particles. I had my fluid and filter changed at a shop, so I couldn't tell you if there were any particles on the magnet or not. The PPE pan also comes with a magnet on it, so...

I thought these transmissions contained mostly nonferrous metals? If that is the case, I don't see how adding additional magnets to what is already there helping out much. Changing the fluid and filter more frequently would seem like the better option at face value, as it will help remove all...

Ah gotcha. Mine is the XLT flip-out key, so it is a little different. As for the kids, fresh air would do them good! It's a nice time of year for walking, too.

You can try to take it apart and clean out the glue. When you remove the back off to change the battery, there is a small screw. That is where I would start. If this is your only fob, I would fork over a couple hundred dollars for a new set so that you have a backup. I am unable to locate...

My first thought was to say that they are mostly there to help improve fuel efficiency. Looking at the parts in particular, I see that the centerpiece is named "Radiator Support Air Deflector," which may help redirect air toward the radiator to aid in the cooling process, but again, I am not...

The average person drives about 12k miles a year. That would mean that most of the 2.7 engines with the belt-driven oil pump still have under 100k miles. From my understanding, belts are affected by age more so than a chain or gear-driven unit, so the time since they have been made is not going...

I think it is interesting to talk about, and it provided me a distraction from writing yet another paper, what can I say?

I found the feature to be annoying more than useful for me so I have it turned off. I also live in the Houston suburbs so that may have something to do with it.

You taught me something new today, as I had no idea this feature had come out then.
