  1. Anyone had their transmission simply not respond, when flooring it?

    I wonder if it was a traction control nanny? I would still take it in to the dealer though. I can tell you if I make a left turn rather aggressively, while starting to straighten the wheel it might hold throttle back until the truck is going straight. Less so in sport mode. I disabled adv...
  2. Engine Replacement at 50k Miles - rod bearing

    ? Almost looked like the crank thrust bearing at that point.
  3. Engine Replacement at 50k Miles - rod bearing

    Would that be the center bearing on the crank? I dunno, I didn't take it apart and didn't ask to see the whole set of rod bearings. The pistons were still in the block. I figure in the end the long block would solve the problem. I just hope they aren't reusing the oil pump. I would be tempted...
  4. Engine Replacement at 50k Miles - rod bearing

    Sorry, been MIA because we are enjoying out trailer, thanks to the dealer for the F150. My wife was going to be bummed if we needed to cancel, booked 6mo ago. Renting a tow capable truck was at least going to be +$400 and who knew the condition so I offered her a stay at a hotel on PCH but she...
  5. Engine Replacement at 50k Miles - rod bearing

    Hello, I am hesitant to even make this thread because it seems like such a freak rare thing to happen. Put I wanted to share that my 2021 Tremor with 50k miles is getting a replacement long block due to a spun rod bearing in cylinder 4. I have to say that Ford Country has made this as...
  6. Will 5G fenders, hood, frontend fit the 6G? Yes, I may be crazy.

    I have no idea where but it bothers me it hasn't become a thing in the USA considering I bet we have a bunch of them in junk yards by now. I don't have the coin for that but appreciate the work to make it happen. I look at the Ranger Raptor engine bay how messy it looks, the after market...
  7. 2021 Tremor 2 inch level / wheel spacers???

    I run a 1" level and 1" wheel spacers, all I needed to do was remove the crash bars and I can go lock to lock and articulate without issues. Edit: I want to add, I love the k03 but I am in the desert, not sure your plans. These things are pretty quiet, had the same size with k02 before. They...
  8. What are you guys towing?

    Yeah man, under $10k it would make for a good starting point for basically a hard shell sleeping quarters. Build it out to be similar to our old Nobo 10.6
  9. What are you guys towing?

    Wow, I have never seen a specific snowmobile trailer that is aerodynamic in that way. Is that a Triton trailer? Would make for a good camping trailer starting point. Gonna keep that in the back of my mind.
  10. Drove a Ranger Raptor

    It was still a solid test with good elevation change and the load was still 5500lbs. This is where that v6 TT torque would come in handy. I tow a 19ft travel trailer and on 33" tires, our Ranger does really well but I bet that RR would do great. One reason I wanted to do an intercooler and...
  11. Drove a Ranger Raptor

    Think that was the same TFL towing video I saw, the RR killed it on the towing test. That honestly would be my biggest reason to go RR over GM mid-size. My current 5G on 33" tires handles our 19ft travel trailer perfectly but I also wouldn't want to tow more considering the area and summer...
  12. The ZR2 SPEC-R3

    Look, the ZR2 is cool n all but that garage I am jealous about!!!!
  13. Drove a Ranger Raptor

    Well that sure will make some difference haha. Finally pulled up the videos to compare, sure enough, I think it would be a good race. Links take you directly to the 0-60 numbers in each video. This is just fun, obviously the RR is more stout off road, it is just that the power numbers dont tell...
  14. Drove a Ranger Raptor

    Nice to hear. My dealer just got a Raptor in and I wanted to check it out Monday when I go by to get trailer keys out of my Ranger, assuming it is still there.
  15. Drove a Ranger Raptor

    What do you mean performance? As in your '19 was still faster? I remember watching the drag race RR video TFL did I think it was and thinking how their Livernoise tuned 2019 video I think had that ranger running faster. Granted conditions not the same but I think the extra weight really slows...
  16. Vehicle Nannies are ANNOYING in new vehicles

    I wonder, my first car in 2001 which I still have is a 66 Mustang stick shift. You have to be intentional when driving. Then with the engine upgrades and spool, if you weren't paying attention the car would kill you. It made for a fun car but you had to know the limits. One thing they told us...
  17. Finally got to check out a gen 6 Ranger

    Man, that was fast, I didn't even know you could process a vehicle transaction that fast even if it was cash. That is a good tip, find the oldest one and contact them. I am going to have to remember that one. I have never been in and out of a dealer that quickly. I think the Honda was still...
  18. Finally got to check out a gen 6 Ranger

    In 2021 when I got my Tremor they had a $5k markup, due to covid I felt lucky to get them down to $500 over since I missed the bubble of low prices early during covid. There was something like $750 rebate so it basically was a hair under MSRP. My main thing I told them was that I could get an...
  19. 2021 Ranger XLT Screw Block Defect/Head Gasket

    Yeah, I hear ya. You do everything right and still have those issues. Kinda sucks. I'm just lucky I'm still within warranty.
  20. 2021 Ranger XLT Screw Block Defect/Head Gasket

    My 2021 truck with 50k miles has been at the dealer for a week due to a strange engine knock/clack sound between 2500-3000 RPM that disappears with light throttle. The idle seems fine, and I didn’t notice any power loss other than I backed off the throttle immediately. It feels load-related, so...
