Asking about what oil (or fuel) to use on any vehicle forum ALWAYS opens a fire storm because everyone has their own ideas about what it best. In truth it depends upon how long you expect to keep your truck. Every time I've bought a vehicle I always say - "I'm going to keep it until the wheels...

My '19 Ranger has a bit more than 62,000 miles. At 55,000 miles I installed the Ford Catch Can. I don't have data for summer yet, but in emptying it about every 1,500 miles in the cold, dry climate of Wyoming, the discharge from the catch can (~ 1/4 cup) is mostly water with a enough oil...

- Good retired friend lives inside the beltway in D.C. F-250 owner. Tells me he never drives to dinner in the city. Takes Uber. Vehicle thiefs are 6-12 every weekend. - In the Western Pacific and in the Navy, a coworker received a note from his storage facility in San Diego that his truck...

When the news reports smash and grab and now crash and grab as well as other theft, they leave out the fact we all pay for this one way or another. Because of the OP's stolen tail lights and their high cost everyones insurance goes up. And, depending upon his insurance companies claim cost...

Before you take it to another dealer, talk to that "new dealer's" service mgr and explain the issue. Bring your previous paperwork from the head gasket replacement. I'm guessing you have a warped or cracked head and the previous dealer didn't check it when the gasket was replaced. I think the...

If you happen to live in the midwest or eastern mountain region, Boomgaars has a 36 month free replacement.

I'm also retired. Ordered my '19 Lariat in November of '18, and picked it up the first of April. Paid Invoice less $1000. It now has just shy of 60K miles. Only one issue ... truck when in to limp mode while towing 4K up Parley's Canyon east out of SLC. Erased codes and the problem has...

My battery blanket was much worse. One day it was fine, the next I'm thinking the mice must have had a pot-luck dinner and invited all their friends. Covered it with Gorilia tape, the black stuff, a couple of years ago, and it hasn't been bothered again - so far.

In the past, non-Ford extended warranties had the highest consumer complaints on record. Pay up front and when work was needed claim was denied. Has anyone had experience with after market warranties WRT payouts? Good or bad.

Lived in Incline Village for a number of years. Had good experience with West Ford in Reno and while living there many recommended the dealer in Yermo (Yerington?). Had a terrible experience with the dealer in Carson City. Folks said Carson was a good place to purchase, but not for service...

Don't forget to cover the two pressure relief openings behind the rear seat. I used wire door screen (suggest not using the plastic screen) and secured them with Aluminum tape. I then purchased concentrated Peppermint in the spice area of my local grocery story and mixed it with a little...

Batteries: My father sold batteries so I thought I was smart about them. Like many things I've found as I age, I'm not nearly as smart as I thought I was. My small knowledge about batteries was revealed when I purchased a one of those street legal, battery golf cart-like vehicles. Doing...

My data is a few years old, but your Ford dealer's parts guy should have the spring rate for each factory spring ... at least they used to. Assuming they do, that will give you the comparison your are looking for.

Here is a primer likely many of you have seen, but for those that have not ... And this guy's recommendation has saved my bacon on my RS, which needed a new battery, mostly because it sits so much. My very early production '19 still has the original battery (60K miles) and other than mice...

Friday and others have noted dealer tire rotation. To those that have someone other than themselves rotate their tires, suggest taking your truck's lug wrench to seen if it will fit over the lug nuts. Showing a significant lack of common sense, Ford has chosen to cover their wheel lug nuts...

Based on feedback from this forum my suggestion - if you purchase one of these two vehicles - have the dealer reset the transmission so it "learns" and adapts to your driving style. What you may have experienced was the previous owner's style. You may also want to have the fluid changed as...

Are you sure the rear diff is locking? When turning with 4-wheel drive engaged (as you indicated) there is. a speed difference between the front and rear due to the radius of the circle you are turning. If the turn is sharp, because of this difference, there is a noticeable "binding" between...

Your comments need expansion. Many suppliers are not directly affected by the strike, but instead are affected by a lack of requirement for their products. The aftermarket requirement is minimum compared to the manufacturing requirement and many of those plants will shut down. Obviously the...

Due to the UAW strike, suppliers are being affected as well as the manufactures. Has anyone been unable to have their truck repaired due to your dealer's inability to get parts?

I lived in San Diego for 35 years, still own a home there. Take a half day and head down the 805 turning east prior to the border. There are a numerous junk yards to the west of Brown Field with thousands of vehicles. With any luck you should be able to find your switch. Good luck.
