  1. Report your MPG

    2021 XLT FX2, and with canopy on the back. Stock tires/etc. At 1000 miles. Driving ~75 mph, I cannot get above 20 mpg. This is quite disappointing; hopefully this will change. In other vehicles i have good mileage, so I don't think it's my driving style. I read of others with low mileage, and...
  2. How to remove air cleaner intake duct?

    I have the ranger technical manual, but can't for the life of me find where it says how to remove the air cleaner intake duct. I see these tabs, but when i try to pry the intake out, it seems the plastic could snap -- there's probably some trick. Does anyone know how to remove it? BTW this is...
  3. Saw a recall notice in my FordPass app today

    Agreed; I never signed up for FordPass for the same reason: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/turn-off-data-collection.10834/
  4. Hill Descent Control and Speed Limiter

    If i understand what you're asking, that's what i was trying to say by mentioning "It seems like the world model might have an angled vehicle (and HIll Descent engaged directly), but USA models have Traction Control (non-tilted vehicle) that goes both up and down." Hopefully someone can...
  5. Hill Descent Control and Speed Limiter

    I think that video is a bit misleading -- although I also posted it earlier today in another thread :P -- since the button looks a bit different for USA models. It seems like the world model might have an angled vehicle (and HIll Descent engaged directly), but USA models have Traction Control...
  6. Any updates on Trail Control?

    Did anyone ever figure out the button assembly part number?
  7. Terrain management upgrade?

    EDIT: updated based on what i read after posting. Ah, so Hill Descent may not be a separate button on USA rangers. It may be part of Trail Control, and automatically switch to hill descent mode when going downhill. From the manual, Trail Control should be usable in 2wd as well, although it...
  8. Terrain management upgrade?

    Interesting, thanks. How do you enable it, then? In the manual it says this: "Descent Control Now Active, Press Trail Control Switch To Exit: You switched Descent Control off..." on the "Trail Control -- Information Messages" page This video (from australia) shows a button on the console; I...
  9. Hill Descent Control and Speed Limiter

    Bumping this thread. I'd like to try this as well, and will report back. Does anyone have a photo of the Hill Descent button, with an XLT / 302A / FX4? I'd like to make sure to get the correct button.
  10. Terrain management upgrade?

    Hmmm, maybe I'm misunderstanding your reply -- apologies if so. Hill Descent control is a separate button, and not a terrain management mode. I'm curious if Hill Descent control (which I think should only use braking) can be used on 2wd.
  11. Terrain management upgrade?

    I read through this thread (not short :D ) and might have just missed it: can Hill Descent be used on 2wd? (I have FX2, 302A). If not, why not? Isn't it just controlling the 4x brakes?
  12. On board Air setup on your Ranger

    Anyone have a source for buying just the ARB CKMA12 compressor separately -- but not the cable harnesses, switches, hoses, etc? I've searched but only see kits available. I'm connecting to a Six Shooter trigger, and don't need all the wiring. Similarly, I already have pneumatic hoses/fittings/etc.
  13. Check your air box…

    I got some anti-rodent-tape, which is supposed to prevent chewing on the wires/harnesses that the tape is applied to. It's extremely expensive ($50) per small roll, so I'm trying to prioritize : what wires/cables should I protect? What are the most common wires/harnesses that rodents chew? Is...
  14. FIX YOUR MUSHY BRAKES

    i posted this question before, but bumping again: i'm very curious why this seems to greatly improve some vehicles, and not others (eg mine had no change, and several others are had no change). Based on signatures, 19, 20, and 21 all seem to either improve or stay the same...so it's not as...
  15. Check The Torque On Rear Leaf Spring U Bolts!

    I think this re-enforces the question I was wondering, though: Eaton is talking about aftermarket (and even put in a "quality" qualifier). Ford gave guidance for their own bolts -- whose tensile strength we don't know (i think) -- to not re-torque. Hopefully it's the same for Ford, but if so...
  16. Check The Torque On Rear Leaf Spring U Bolts!

    Hmmm, couldn't that also continue to stretch the u-bolt beyond its spec, if it's ductile? It seems that this should depend on the property of the specific u-bolt. They also said it depends on the manufacturer. So if Ford said that it may have a lower torque and be okay, maybe that's a better answer.
  17. Check The Torque On Rear Leaf Spring U Bolts!

    It sounds like re-torquing might not be a good idea, since it may be expected that the nut torque is lower through use. But, that wouldn't explain why the vibe occurs with some people until they tighten down...maybe some are correctly torqued from factory, some not.
  18. Check The Torque On Rear Leaf Spring U Bolts!

    Does anyone know how would we know if we should tighten to the original specs, then, or keep them as we find it?
  19. Check your air box…

    I'm looking for the OTHER end of it :) The part where debris or critters enter. That's somewhere outside the cabin...
  20. Check your air box…

    Just to check, Isn't that the engine filter for the intake manifold? I'm looking for the intake for the passenger compartment air filter...
