Wow didn't know all that, thanks! I ordered a 4x4 with rear locker, no FX4. Maybe I'll add the terrain management later. Guess I'll save the hooning for my jeeps! No nannies there
Edit.
I'm also trying really, really hard not to build yet ANOTHER off-road vehicle! Already have 2, don't need a...
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it depends. Some trims of the Colorado will come with the G80 auto "locker". But if you get a ZR2 and add selectable lockers, those will be eaton e-lockers, same as with the Ranger. These are selectable on/off. When you select "locked," that baby is locked until...
I think the reason for only locking in 4 lo / under 20mph or whatever is to prevent users from "hoonigan-ing" :LOL: Lack of a front locker likely due to not wanted tons of busted axle shafts, ect. The ranger isn't really marketed as a hardcore off-roader. That being said, you will go 99% of...
I believe they did schedule some units last week, but this week, they didn't have Ranger scheduling on their scheduling plan. On this coming Monday, we will see if they're scheduling Rangers for the week. Crossing my fingers!
Yes, I would do it regardless. I just meant that since he's using 4x4 a lot and exerting force on the front ring and pinion, it would make sense to change it now.
If he was doing all 2wd, then if you were gonna skip something, you could probably skip the front diff and be fine.
I wonder if batteries are just crappier now, or maybe vehicles have more idle draw. Maybe start-stop? I see multiple people on both this forum and the Honda CRV forums saying their OEM batteries only lasted 2-3 years.
I've had the OEM battery in my 2017 JK without any issue, and honestly, it's...
Question regarding the LED bulbs/Lariat hoursings. I've never used one personally, what happens in the snow? Do they create enough heat to melt the ice build up? I had some cheap LED headlights in my offroad XJ that just iced over, so I removed them and used silverstars w/ an upgraded harness...
Might as well add front axle fluid as well, since he's been using 4x4.
Other than that, as with any offroad vehicle, check steering tie rod ends, driveshaft ujoints, CV axles, regrease brake caliper pins, power steering fluid
In the Jeep community, we love Woolwax/Fluid Film. Works great, spray into the frame rails, underbody, and into panels/doors. It may be a bit drippy in the beginning, but it will level out. Do it every year, and you will have no rust. Easy enough to do in your garage/driveway. I bought the spray...
BlueOvalForums posts Ford's weekly scheduling plan, and no Ranger were planned to be scheduled. Maybe We'll get lucky!
Sweet! Well, I'll continue to hold my breath and spam refresh :like:
Damn, that's bad luck, every dealer near me had no problem with either xplan or costco pricing. I think there's a sticky that explains how to get X-plan pricing with the Mustang Club of America. Maybe see if they'd honor x-plan pricing instead of Costco? Although you may be SOL since x-plan is...
Congrats on getting a Ranger!
I didn't even realize that brake hold was a thing, but a quick google shows that the feature is called Ford Auto Hold. It may be available somewhere in the driver aids section of your menus if it's included in your trim model, but I don't know. I guess look for...
OK, I gotcha. I misread the build guide and saw "Tailgate - Manual Locking" and assumed that meant key only.
Thanks!
Edit: Now I'm confused, I don't get a remote keyfob lock with the 100A, but I have power locks? So I have to unlock my door with the key, then press the button to unlock the...
