  1. Brake issue immediately after start

    Thanks! Got it back from Ford service and the not-surprising response from them was "We can't reproduce the problem." Given that it seems to happen once every 2 to 3 weeks on a daily driven vehicle that was pretty much what I expected. You've given me some new things to try on my own. I...
  2. Brake issue immediately after start

    Oh.... you know what - that is EXACTLY what it feels like. Like the vacuum booster has failed. I wasn't sure if these rangers were drive by wire or not.
  3. Brake issue immediately after start

    It does return to normal after that. Immediately actually.
  4. Brake issue immediately after start

    I searched around and haven't seen anyone else mention this. I've had 3 instances where, immediately after starting and driving for about half a block, on my first brake application, the pedal is incredibly stiff and the truck doesn't stop. After panicking and pressing REALLY hard, the ABS...
  5. Putting Gas in the Ranger

    I'm going to guess you... live in California? I have the same issue. It is due to the Vapor recovery system on CA pumps. Pumps without them... no problem. I found that if I just gently push the handle INTO the spout a little it stays in place. Not hands-free, but not as bad as squeezing the...
  6. What does 'Terrain management' actually do?

    While I agree with you mostly - I actually found at least one usage that is superior to anything you can do on your own - steep descents on slippery terrain. It is apparently applying the brakes individually based on detected slippage. With trail control on it was a much more controlled descent...
  7. Winter rims and TPMS

    Awesome! thanks
  8. Winter rims and TPMS

    Thanks guys. The tire shop I'm planning to use to by the rims and tires says they'll do it for free anytime I swap them. Hopefully that happens exactly once as some of you have talked about. I've been a bit surprised at the lack of info on this online though. I can't be the first person in the...
  9. Winter rims and TPMS

    I'm an old truck guy, so TPMS is a new thing to me when it comes to working with it. I'm getting a second complete set of rims for my winter/offroad tires and I'm trying to understand what it takes to make this work with the TPMS. From what I can tell this is doable, but I'll need something to...
  10. Accessory power feed

    Whats the best way to get switched power for additional accessories? While I'm not totally opposed to cutting wires - I'd prefer to avoid it if possible.
  11. Brush Guard / Grille Guard / Bull bars

    What are my options to fortify the front of my rig without interfering with the forward parking and cruise control sensors?
  12. Lets see those Cab window decals!!

    First thing I started when I got home with it! :)
