Mine did this once. Drove to a Halloween store on lunch break. Came out of the store 20 minutes later and truck is stone dead. Nothing works, no lights, anything. Pop the hood, wiggle battery, wiggle grounds, etc. Nothing. About to call for a ride and I go on Fordpass to see if anything happens...
Been a Ford/Lincoln technician for 28 years. These new vehicles are the terrible for early problems. Ranger is still a simple vehicle. Little to go wrong in comparison to other models. Ford quit cars because they lose money on them and can't compete with the imports. Only reason they can't...
Ford is hiding behind respected nameplates to mask inferior quality control and engineering. Hence the only car being the Mustang. People trust Ford on trucks. Cars are a tough sell. Except Mustang. People accept problems on a Mustang because it's a Mustang. They don't on a Focus or Fusion. Ford...
Mine did this once in the last year and a half. Truck completely dead. After 10 minutes or so it woke itself back up and alarm was going off because I had the hood open. Probably the Body control module. Why it only did it once I have no clue. And I work on Fords for a living.
Mine does the same thing. 2021 with 14,000 miles. Figured its either injector and high pressure pump clatter or turbo wastegate noise. Or 4 cylinder harmonics combined with any of the above.
I installed the Mishimoto charge pipes and cold air intake. Very happy with the quality. Fitment was spot on. Did not do the intercooler. The Ranger has a large intercooler from the factory. No power to be gained unless your constantly pushing the truck and heat soaking the intercooler. The...
Every morning at the gym all the cool kids with trucks line up in the furthest out part of the parking lot. Lol. At least everyone gives a space or 2 between vehicles. There are another handful of trucks going the other way not in the picture as well. Plus always some joker in a random car mixed...
Yes new u-bolts came in the kit. There is only a 6mm shim on the left that gets removed. The new shims come in different thicknesses depending if you are installing them on the right or left. The left side is 6mm thick plus the taper they incorporate to change the pinion angle. The right is very...
In truth nobody knows except the engineer who wrote the program. And they won't tell you how it exactly works due to liability issues. I get updated programming for various modules all the time on new cars. Most of the time we have no clue what the update is changing besides supposedly fixing...
I checked the transmission fluid on mine. Have the burns on my hand to prove it lol. My fluid level was spot on. I don't notice the start up shudder after I set my pinion angle to 5.2*. I do still have the 1500rpm vibration which occurs each upshift or downshift as the rpm's pass thru 1500. I...
A few thoughts on the start up shudder concern. I'm a 27 year Ford/Lincoln technician. Recently purchased a new 2021 Ranger XLT Crew Cab 4x4 FX4. Noticed it had slight shudder I guess you could say starting from a stop. It also has a higher frequency vibration and drone at 1500rpm most...
