How cold was it today? Was this the first time this truck has seen those temperatures?

If you are setting a wrench light, you should have a code. I would not attempt to clear it yourself, including disconnecting the battery. The stored codes should help the dealer with the diagnostics and you don't want to lose that.

Best laugh I had all week. Thank you.

Sort of cross posting from Bronco, but it IS really interesting and so cool I actually got a little shiver.

Of course she's right. She tell's me that every day.... But, yes, I found it striking how they really copied the styling.

I realize that. The point was that the reviews changed from: "why don't you just give us what we are asking for?" to "why did you give us what we asked for?"

Here is some Historical Context on this. Back then, it was "Why doesn't Ford just move it over from Australia?" Now it's: "Why did Ford just move this over from Australia?"

I showed the video to my wife with the vintage Bronco shown first. She didn't realize it was an old vehicle. Her initial comment was that Ford was copying the Jeep Gladiator. Wait just a doggone minute. Which came first? I guess that means that Jeep copied Ford.

2019 Ranger JD Powers Appeal Award Winner JD Powers Initial Quality Award Winner. I've heard of JD Powers. This clown? Not so much.

There are a lot of things that go on with a new powertrain, including the engine and transmission. The engine breaks in and delivers more torque. Friction material in the clutches compresses, changing the end clearance. The mu of the friction material changes, plus there are the...

How do you know that this isn't the case?

This vehicle has the tiny, internal dipstick as well. Additionally, the fluid level is different, so this is not advisable.

I don't understand why people feel that skipping 2nd gear most of the time is somehow "wrong". If you are driving a manual (with only 6 gears), you often skip gears. If you are downshifting - say on a freeway, you will skip anywhere from 2-4 gears for performance reasons. It's normal. It...

The Ranger is a shift by cable - traditional connection - between the PRNDL lever and the transmission. Shift by wire can be implemented in several ways and is application specific. For instance, the push buttons on a Continental actuate a device external to the transmission that shifts the...

One implies a viscosity issue, the other implies a calibration issue. What was the resolution on the Aerostar?

To the OP question. This job is not easy or fun. Operating temperature of the fluid is critical to obtaining the correct level as is installation angle of the powertrain, so you can't just jack up a part of the vehicle. You will probably want a hoist and then you need to make sure you have...

Well, it could be worse, quality wise. You could have bought a Toyota, Nissan, Chevrolet, or any other Mid-Size Pickup.

What about that $85 one in Bellville? If it isn't radar, can you just swipe the lens?
