  1. Recommendations for Ford 10 Speed Transmission; I believe these apply to my Ranger; Your thoughts?

    I saw this video on YouTube that explains driving habits and maintenance for Ford's 10 Speed. The video addresses some of the full size trucks but it seems very applicable to my 2019 Ranger which by the way is heading back to the transmission shop next week. If you hate clicking on link (yes...

  3. Has anyone had luck getting they PremiumCare ESP extended due to how long the vehicle was in the shop?

    Each time my transmission has problems it takes 4-6 weeks to get on the dealers schedule and then another 1-2 weeks for them to fix it. During this time I drive my vehicle as little as possible because these transmissions can be pretty extreme. Has anyone had luck extending the duration of...
  4. How do you convince your dealer to replace the DPFE?

    My 2019 Ranger is scheduled to head back to the dealer in December (6 weeks) wait for Transmission issues. Shutter when giving it a little acceleration after taking your foot off the gas. I'd like to have the DPFE replaced since many say is causes problems that seem like transmission issues...
  5. What TSBs should I execute to avoid problems? Got surprised by problems that shouldn't have happened!!

    2019 Ford Ranger is at the shop having the spark plugs replaced at 70k miles due to misfires caused by water intrusion. The water intrusion would have been avoided if TSB 21-2147 had been completed which added an engine cover. I'm surprised by this because my dealer usually executes all the...

  7. Should I dump my 2019 and get a 2022?

    I love the Ranger! I'm 6'5" and it's tough to find a vehicle I fit in that isn't the size of a school bus. I do not like the Ranger 6g redesign. The hood appears longer and flatter with less visibility. Perhaps they are trying to be more Tacoma like! For maintenance, I've just done oil...

  11. Bucking like a Bronco?

    If I get in my Ranger turn the key and start driving it bucks some in the first mile. Not sure if its the transmission or the engine. However, if I remote start it, by the time I get in it it's ready to go. Smooth going! Is this a problem? All the Ford maintenance center (dealers) around me...

    Has anyone tried this wireless brake controller. Apparently it takes the brake control from the seven pin connector brake lights.
