It's been a few thousand miles since getting the salvage Ranger back on the road, and off-road as it were. It's a great vehicle for what I use it for. One thing I've been very impressed with is how well it handles on pavement. It almost matches my Q5 or Touareg for sporty handling. Off-road it...
Still putting the salvage Ranger back together. Finally got the Eibach struts installed and most of the front end above the bumper.
Some pieces in the driver side fender well are obviously missing. It would be a huge help if someone could maybe share a couple of pictures of that area. I may...
Just wanted to share a very unfortunate experience I'm having with Headlight Revolution.
Decided I wanted a set of DRL headlights for my 2020 XLT and ordered a pair of Carbide headlights from Headlight Revolution. About 30 minutes after placing the order, I received an email that items in the...
This is the FX4 rebuild project. I'm getting an overheat error on startup and the temp gauge is pegged. This also keeps the vehicle from revving above about 2k RPM.
I have poured over the thousand pages of shop manual and cannot locate a temperature sensor to save my life. It's mentioned for...
Rebuilding a 2020 XLT that had front driver damage. Removed all the damaged sections and took the truck to a local body shop for some frame work, new radiator support and paint the new hood and fender. I supplied all the new parts. Those who have followed my threads know what a nightmare it's...
This 2020 Ranger XLT with 34k miles was a salvage rebuild having been hit in the front driver corner. It sat for almost a year at the body shop while they dinked around doing some frame and body work. I recently got it back and replaced the intake manifold (lower vacuum connector was broken...
Any chance one of you could see where these sensors mount on a 2020 XLT? There's one on each side behind the light buckets. I took a lot of pictures while removing stuff but apparently not enough in the right places. Thanks in advance.
Rebuilding a salvage Ranger and have somehow misplaced the two intercooler hoses/pipes over the year the thing was at the body shop. Bought a used set but they came without the retainer clips for the intercooler connections.
I can't find these clips separately anywhere online or on Ford parts...
Almost a full year. That's how long my Ranger was at the body shop for work that would have likely taken a competent shop no more than 2 months to complete. I thought the shop I took the thing to would be professional. I was wrong.
To recap, this Ranger had front driver damage. Needed a new...
Rebuilding a salvage title 2020 FX4 with some front driver-side damage. Found the MAP sensor for the intercooler output in the pile-o-parts that were apparently swept up by the tow truck driver after the accident.
Ordering new parts but the number on the sensor, JG9A-9F479-AB, comes up for an...
Hello Ranger family. I recently picked up a 2020 FX4, 35k miles with front driver damage I’ll be repairing. This is a vehicle I plan to keep and use primarily for mild off-roading, mainly desert roads/trails and fire roads.
I’m a 60-year-old “garage” mechanic and have done engine, transmission...
