  1. Towing question…

    According to their website, nope. Saying neither dolly or auto transport trailer is compatible with what I want to tow. Say I switch my vehicle to a Ram 1500 V6, then it says Yes. I don't get it. I know the Ranger will tow it. My fear is what ControlNode said. I get in an accident and they see...
  2. Towing question…

    Very good points. When I towed the Corolla I inputted information on U-Haul website and it gave me the thumbs up that time. But you’re right, might be time to ask a friend to let me borrow their truck
  3. Towing question…

    So I have to tow a 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan about 200 miles. It weighs between 4,120 to 4,365 lbs. I want to use a U-Haul dolly, U-Haul is saying this “combo” won’t work because of my truck. What do you guys think? I’ve towed a Corolla (about 2,700 pounds) a while back with a tow dolly and...
  4. Sport Mode

    Driving around town = S Freeway = D My pedal commander also helps a lot
  5. Check your transmission fluid

    Thank you. Makes sense. I’ll check it again tomorrow
  6. Check your transmission fluid

    That’s my point exactly. If cold and all the fluid goes to the bottom, shouldn’t the dipstick be barely reading oil at all? Mine was to the very top of the stick. Seems overfilled no?
  7. Check your transmission fluid

    So I think mine may be overfilled actually. I took the dip stick out when the truck was cold, hadn’t started it yet because I was just curious. On COLD without the truck on, the oil was all the way to the top of the dipstick. Cleaned it off, did it three more times and same thing. Wth?
  8. Turn off adaptive transmission process!

    I’ve had 3 vehicles with the ZF8, they were all buttery smooth. Never felt anything. I wish the Ranger had the ZF8
  9. Anyone mount an Ham Radio antenna on the bed ot the truck?

    I have two mounts. One NMO I drilled through the roof right in the middle, the other I purchased a third brake light NMO mount. Looks great and low SWR. I too have been planning on installing an ATAS in my truck since I have a FT-891. Problem with ATAS you need really good grounding for it to...
  10. More pep without tune?

    I want a Ford tune so bad, more so because I want to see if it stops the transmission from shifting like crap, but the cheapest I found it is $675. That’s a lot of dough :/
  11. Hypothesis on transmission

    What’s weird about my truck is that one day it drives perfect! The next day, nothing changed, but nothing but transmission issues. Multiple times I’ve gotten really harsh thumps where no joke, I thought someone had rear ended me and I had to look in my mirror. The transmission is the only thing...
  12. When should I have the transmission filter and fluid changed on my 2019 Lariat?

    How much did the dealership charge? I want to get mine done soon at 30K
  13. Thinking about selling the Ranger....

    If I was going to go to a unibody, it would be the Ridgeline. The Santa Cruz looks too much of a Karen's vehicle who probably goes into speak to the service manager after oil change for not adjusting the seats back.
  14. Never Run Extended Oil Change Intervals: Ecoboost Engines

    I did my diff fluid change at 10K. I need to do transfer case though. How often should T-case be done?
  15. Never Run Extended Oil Change Intervals: Ecoboost Engines

    Yeah for me it’s just peace of mind. My dad has been a mechanic for 40 years so I was raised with the thinking of take care of your machines and they’ll take care of you. I remember before synthetic was a thing, my dad would do 3K oil changes religiously. I also do my own oil changes, and...
  16. Never Run Extended Oil Change Intervals: Ecoboost Engines

    That’s another reason I do 5K religiously. The heat here in the summer months are brutal.
  17. Show me your gauges

    Nope. But has gone down to $35 for 10 years.
