After many back and forths with Ford in Michigan, found out they are aware of the parking brake boot issue and are gathering info to do a customer satisfaction program hopefully in the next year. So if you bought an OE or aftermarket boot, save your receipt - it may be covered! Still no luck...

Has anyone seen high fuel dilution after a recent bout of highway driving and some towing? I would think short trips would increase fuel dilution, but this was run for more highway (state-to-state) trips than any other oil change I've had, and the engine was completely up to temperature every...

So I thought things were looking better (haven’t even taken it back in for the rear end leaking) and now I’m getting some transmission related codes, such as P2796 for the auto start/stop. I am out of B2B warranty but am not sure if the aux pump is covered by either the Ford Powertrain or Ford...

So I thought this would never happen because I have the revised transmission, but with only around 35k miles here’s what it did: Started shifting roughly and slipping to 4K+ on upshifts Hunted for gears going down a straight, flat road Eventually got so hot trans fluid started coming out of...

Hey fellow forum folks, I’m approaching 30k on my 2022 and want to change the trans fluid (due to all the people with trans failures giving me pause about keeping the fluid in for too long). Should I let the engine pump the old fluid out, 1 quart a time, thru a trans cooler hose? Drop the pan...

Thanks for all the help this past year, I’ve had my truck a little over a year and put approximately 18,000 miles in the first year. Truck now has 21,500 on it with the following service: 1. Rebuilt rear end (warranty covered, leaking from the rear seal cover). 2. Rebuilt transmission (after a...

Hi, Looking for a quality DC to DC converter/charger that I can mount in my travel trailer and use to run some 12V lead acid deep cycle batteries for accessory power. I'm guessing the 7-pin harness on the Ranger has a limited current output on the Black (+12V) pin, does anybody have a...

I’ve never done this before, but seriously thinking about Ford Protect for my 2022 Ranger. It’s currently down for the valve body and transmission work, as it’s been experiencing harsh 3-4 shifts and delayed engagement in “R” causing the tires to squeal when shifting from “P” to “R”. I’ve also...

As promised, attached are some Blackstone Labs reports with Motorcraft 5W-30 (first change) vs. Amsoil (second oil change). Some key takeaways: - The Amsoil appears to be thicker but also sheared to a 5W-20 presumably due to the high temperatures this engine runs at. - The fuel dilution...

Trying to see if anyone has excess fuel dilution from operation where the oil does not reach 212f daily. I’ve found on my 2022, if I do in-town drives of less than 30 miles / 30 minutes, my oil level goes up. Problem is, there is no oil temp readout on these trucks unlike other trucks which...

Took my 2022 in for a complaint of harsh 3-4 shift in the morning and after a few days of diagnosis, I received an update. Valve body needs replaced, the unit needs flushed to clean any metal shavings or debris, and the unit may need to be dropped/replaced if after they swap the valve body and...

Title says it all. I am not an aggressive driver. I’ve had the alignment done around 10k, rotate my tires, and it still seems to wear the rights differently than the lefts. Any ideas? About to mention to the dealer when I get my transmission flashed for the 2nd time…

I am thinking of using the factory upfitter switches (switch 3-6) to control some ambient lighting in the cab. I don’t care for color changing, nor any lights that stay on after the key is removed, so I think the smaller amperage upfitter switches are perfect. Has anyone done this using switch...

So…last few vehicles I’ve owned the owner’s manual was way off when it came to flushing brake fluid. Some said it was a “lifetime” fluid, or something like 150k miles. Plenty of times I’ve seen dirt behind the pistons, leaky calipers, air in the lines, and torn rubber boots before 150k...

Wanting to install an Autowbrake on my travel trailer instead of modifying the Ranger. Any caveats with this setup (my Ranger seems to only provide power to the trailer when ignition is on, which seems normal), and has anyone installed one with success? I would be using the Brake, Aux 12V...

My 2.3 EcoBoost has developed a timing chain rattle on startup. This is a mostly highway driven vehicle, which does 400 mile state to state trips regularly, and doesn’t see much (if at all) city driving. I run Amsoil, use the best WIX filters, and always keep my oil level up to max (truck...

Post pictures of your Oxford White Ranger Tremor! (Not to be confused with the Oxford White Ranger thread…this is for Oxford White Tremors only…lol)

With the stock oil filter being where it is, and the amount of mileage I drive, will relocating it from the wheel well with an extension kit or custom fab’d part void warranty? Am I asking for trouble if I bring this thing in for tires or an alignment and they see the oil filter relocated...

Good evening, My 2022 4x4 Tremor with stock tires and gearing has developed an interesting transmission issue: it seems to get “stuck” between gears at times and no amount of throttle (gentle application or heavy throttle) seems to get it out of this state until the trans decides to apply power...

As some have reported, the B&O system has hardware differences vs the base with the 8” touch screen. I’m OK with that, but was wondering if the B&O tweeter was installed on one of the lesser systems would there be any impedance or fit issues? Just trying to get more of a “studio monitor” sound...
