I used to have my Yaesu FT-8800R installed in my 2006 Explorer. I had installed a nice NMO mount myself for the quarter dipole antenna, and wired the power directly to the battery with inline fuses. At the time of install, the Ex was about 4 years old so I didn't mind drilling a hole in the...

Sounds like it works, and you may have just written the first TSB for the 2019 Ford Ranger!

As mentioned in my first post, my suspicion is that the rubber piece adjacent to the latch on the rear of the seat back, meant to dampen the impact of the latch on the catch, is interfering with the engagement of the latch. Thinking about this last night, I wondered if it would engage better at...

Ah, makes sense.

Are you sure about that? Mine says 30 PSI for all four tires, and my Ford app says 205 kpa (which is 30 PSI). Mine was at 45 PSI (!) when I bought it from the dealer, as I discovered today.

Turns out my tire pressure was at 45 (!) PSI instead of the recommended 30 PSI. I just adjusted them down to 30 PSI, so we'll see if that improves things!

On a related note, does the hook underneath the rear seat bottom (circled in red in the picture below) actually do anything on anyone's Ranger? It seems like it should engage the catch circled in blue in the picture below, but mine misses it by a few millimeters. The hook doesn't move when I...

***6/4/2019 Update*** TSB: 19-2146 - 2019 Ranger - Crew Cab - Folding Rear Seat Back Excessive Latch Effort When Return... Anyone else have this problem? The latch seems to function o.k. when I engage it with my finger when the seat back is pushed forward. However, I just get a metal on metal...

Not ice or snow, but we still have a crap ton of sand / salt on the road here from a previous storm, and with the tires so new liked I added above, it's very possible.

It could very well be. During the most noticeable instance of it happening (accelerating and turning into traffic), my initial thought was that my wheels were skipping off the ground, but I thought "nah, that couldn't be". ETA: With only 100 miles on the tires, I suppose it's even more possible.

***1/27/2019 Update*** Official Solution Available, Air Tires Down to Factory PSI Does anyone notice a slight shimmy in the rear end when accelerating at low speed? Almost like the transmission is lugging? It's hard to explain and very slight, but more noticeable with more aggressive...

Thanks! I added one for my avatar. Does this forum host uploaded photos? If not, I'll have to find a hosting site and upload some pics. ETA: Figured it out.
