That's fair, I guess I just go by the ol' mantra "the more moving parts, the more that can fail" The 10R80 is a crazy feat of engineering, but has a lot to go wrong. Doesn't mean it will.

My understanding is that the block was designed for the Mustang, and tuned to handle heavy loads from towing. Additionally, Ford now makes its own tune for it that claims a 45hp increase. My guess is that these engines were designed to handle way more than what we're doing with our Rangers. I'm...

I'll definitely let you know.. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention lol.

Strange... And you're getting the AdvanceTrak Diabled message? I've not had any issue getting it sideways.

Are you holding the button down for 10 seconds? One press turns off traction control. Holding it for 10 seconds disables the whole system.

Haven't done anything to my Ranger today, but have done something with it! Saw a guy lose his trailer and crash into my neighborhood pond. I may be a 2WD XLT SuperCab, but I was still able to lend a hand.

I had a Challenger R/T pull up next to me at a light. The light was a double lane left turn on to an on ramp that merged on to I-40. I was in the left lane, he was in the right. The right lane ended in less than 500 feet after turning. I had already been patiently waiting at the light when I...

Jumping in late here, but I ran a 14.957 this weekend in my 2WD SuperCab. I was a bit disappointed, honestly. I'm tuned and was really hoping for a 14.5 or better. That being said, it was hotter than hell out, was my first time taking it to a track, and it still walked right away from that...

If anyone else runs into this, the above solution worked. Return to Stock file. Run FORScan and save vehicle profile. Flash tune. Run FORScan and select previous vehicle profile. Boom, works perfect. Enabled Bambi Mode (fog lights w/ high beams), Off Road display on instrument cluster...

I'm going to first try reloading the stock file, then switching back to the tune and see what happens.

HELP! I'm running a 5 Star Performance tune on my Ranger, and FORScan recognizes there is a tune. It asks for a strategy code, so I go into my nGauge and enter the strategy under the Vehicle Info menu. FORScan says unable to recognize vehicle. I'm using the OBDLink EX on Windows 10. Anyone...

Modifying your cars and trucks will always be risky. There's always a chance something goes wrong (whether or not it's a result of the tune), and there's always a chance Ford denies warranty work due to aftermarket parts/tunes. That being said, sometimes, a smile from ear to ear is worth the...

I agree, but you have to think like the average buyer. Most people have no idea what all of that tech is or what it does, and honestly, most people these days have no idea how to drive without it. Ford sadly won't make one off versions for enthusiasts. They tried too with the ST cars but too few...

Wow. Good job Ford lol...

Can't you just disable all of it in the menus? ABS is legally required on new cars by NHTSA and most other developed countries, so you won't be able to get a car 2012 or newer without it or be able to easily disable it. If you really want to disable it permanently, pull the abs relay or...

Tailgate dampers for a "Slow Open" tailgate. To my knowledge, they don't come on any trim level and it's not a factory option, yet Ford sells the damper strut kit on Ford Accessories... It's less than $60 and a 10 minute install, which is all the more reason it should have been on the truck to...

That's awesome! I had a '96 Probe GT 5 speed.

Amid all of this COVID-19 chaos, let's shift the focus to something a bit lighter. Show me your first car (or first Ford) versus your current Ranger! Feel free to share what you miss, what you've had in between, and if you're eyeballing your next ride. THEN: This was my first car, a 1997...

As someone who's been known to cross the Mexican border a time or two, I'm actually grateful that Ford set the limiter to 109-110mph (fuel cuts at 109 but I've hit 110 on a downhill section of the 'track'). I drove a 2017 GMC Canyon that was limited to 99mph, no ifs, ands, or buts. It was...

You're right! Totally forgot the Ridgeline, and I think it's because I don't personally consider it a competitor. The Ridgeline is a fantastic truck for people that aren't sure they want a truck, or don't want to fully commit to owning one. I need a truck that can tow the broken cars in my...
