  1. Washboarded Roads

    Washboard sucks. Worst off road condition. Airing down is key. After that you need to change the suspension by replacing shocks and maybe springs or by putting some weight in the back. Also you can sometimes find the "resonant frequency" speed where your suspension smooths out going over them...
  2. Bed Debris Maintenance

    I've got about $5 worth of spent 9mm and 5.56 brass rolling around in my bed. Not worried about it at all.
  3. Parking made EASY !!

    My thoughts exactly! The Nissan 240 had a "Super Hicas" Package in the 90's that worked sorta similar to that. In town below 45 the back wheels turned the opposite direction from the front to give you a tighter turning radius. Then at highway speeds they turned the same direction as the front...
  4. ***Update Pg. 26*** Think It'll Buff Out?

    Dave... Man, I'm so sorry to hear and see the damage. Glad you made it out. This is EXACTLY why I have a Dash Cam. Between the crazy street racing kids and the retirees that should have handed over the keys a decade ago, AZ has some dangerous driving going on. I might be selling mine soon...
  5. Ford sold me out, switching to Toyota

    In that case... Covered.
  6. Ford sold me out, switching to Toyota

    My advice... And I didn't follow it last time but I wished I had. Spend the extra $1000 o $1500 when you buy the truck to get the 10/100,000 warranty. My repair was $780 and wold have paid for most of that warranty. If you think about it, what can go wrong between 1 and 100,000 miles? How...
  7. High milage tires

    Michelin LTX or Defender. The LTX will be the last tires you put on the truck. Defenders will be cheaper and may also be the last tires you put on the truck.
  8. Truck Arrived At Dealership... Damaged

    The last three mustangs we purchased all had a little hail ding looking dent in the rear deck lid in exactly the same spot. We assume it must be a shipping issue.
  9. Ford sold me out, switching to Toyota

    NO IT IS NOT. COILS AND PLUGS ARE ONLY COVERED UNDER THE 3Y/36,000 MILE WARRANTY THEY ARE COVERED FOR 2Y/24,000 UNDER THE 8Y/80,000 EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND ARE EXCLUDED AS A CONSUMABLE FROM THE 6Y/60,000 POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. SHOULD IT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY? YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS IT...
  10. Heated seat stuck on with smoke smell

    Sometimes my back hurts so bad I go for a drive because the heated seats are better than a heating pad. I feel for you, man!
  11. Unwanted Burn Out

    !!! ~ LAUNCH CONTROL - ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED ~ !!! But seriously, no. Never heard of it and yes, that's scary. I did, one time, accidentally bump the "resume" button on my cruise control while driving a Nissan Titan around a tight cloverleaf in the rain. It was going fast enough to allow...
  12. Ford sold me out, switching to Toyota

    My understanding is that the 23's get a revised engine. I would hope they revised this out of the design. The interesting thing is that we have the same block as the Focus and it has a history of the same issue - TSB as well for that one. I'm thinking that this engine has a design flaw...
  13. Ford sold me out, switching to Toyota

    I literally just had the same thing happen. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/misfire-on-cyl-1.24404/ I got out for $780 but Ford tried hard to pin it on me. Blamed me for driving through high water, said it was because I was off road (in an off road vehicle?). Whole bunch of hooey. Now...
  14. NOT A GOOD ENDING TO A HIGH SPEED DRIVE IN ONTARIO CANADA, SHE DIDN'T DIE BUT LOST A FOOT SADLY

    I want to know WHO MAKES THAT POST! And yes I am yelling because I really want to know WHO MAKES THAT POST!
  15. I joined the Toyota gang…

    Right-O! But just to be sure we are all on the same page here, being inclusive of other trucks and vehicles still doesn't include Chevy, right? :wink:
  16. A/C recirculating button turns itself off all the time, how do I fix this?

    Yeah my Fusion had a feature that I really miss on the ranger. Long hold on the UNLock Remote Button rolled all of the windows down. Same with Lock rolled them up. It was great to see your car on the parking lot way out in the back 40 and hit the button to roll them down. Then by the time you...
  17. I joined the Toyota gang…

    BINGO! The 2A Community, the Amateur Radio Community, the Off Road Community - are all like that. Easy to blame it on men / macho / ego / testosterone but in the Hiking Community the women do it too and sometimes are the MOST vicious and brutal. It seems to be a movement, almost, in America...
  18. A/C recirculating button turns itself off all the time, how do I fix this?

    Nine Times over Ten you are right. But I like to flip it to Recirculate for a few reasons... 1. It cools the interior faster on initial cool down after start up when it's hot outside (115° F). I start out all windows down to blow out the greenhouse heat effect where the interior is 150° F...
  19. Will relocating the oil filter void warranty?

    Magnuson Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act - 15 U.S.C. §§ 2301-2312 https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/statutes/magnuson-moss-warranty-federal-trade-commission-improvements-act Basically, in a nutshell, the dealer would have to prove that any modification you made...
  20. Truck Arrived At Dealership... Damaged

    Yep! Between shipping and then dealerships parking cars so close, accidents happen. Statistically it's a small percentage but because of volume, it's frequent. A lot of cars on the car lot have had damages that were fixed by the shop and then the buyer was never informed. I'm not saying the...
