It was nearly two years ago. Morimoto kept saying they'd fixed it, but after three sets they were still throwing codes. It was something to do with the startup sequence trying to fire every time the hazards flashed. I ended up in Lariat lights, and then my engine blew, so I ditched the truck.

I hope you have better luck with these than I did! They look incredible, I wish they'd have worked better with my truck.

Again, I'll say - anecdotal evidence of what you "feel" like is a moot point. It doesn't matter. Data is the only thing that can actually stand on its own two legs with this argument, and data doesn't lie. It might feel like they're brighter because the light reflected right down in front of...

I also want to add, thank you for stopping being a dick. So many forum members (and other a-holes with reflector only housings) run drop ins and blind others. The funniest part about it is that their down-road lighting is actually worse than when they were running halogens, and the uplight is...

Technically speaking, they're still not compatible. The Pro's are still using halogen specific reflectors. Yes, they do have a projector and a cutoff line (which makes it so you're not blinding other drivers), but from a performance standpoint they dont benefit from drop in LEDs over a...

The motor was going out at the same time (drinking coolant, not leaking it), I washed my hands of Ford and got rid of the truck. I was quoted around $800 to get the HVAC blend door issue fixed, I was 200 miles out of warranty.

Your blend door is in the early stages of failure. Exact same thing happened to mine. Stopped working completely about 3 weeks after I started hearing the clicking, and I was stuck in max defrost.

I've posted it in this thread already - but its gotten long. I'm not actually sure. It was drinking a tank of coolant per 1000 miles. Ford was 3 months out on a repair, so I traded it off. It was still under warranty so the dealer I traded it to got it all fixed up.

Never off roaded it, never forded rivers, the roughest it saw was forest service roads. Always warmed it up before really getting on it - I've owned many turbo vehicles, this 2.3 was probably just a lemon - but it ended my relationship with ford - likely forever.

You're not wrong here. I maintain my vehicles to the T though, and it happened to me. 5k motorcraft oil changes, all diff/t-case services at the correct mileage, and I never flogged the truck either. My engine popped at 36,400 miles. Ford replaced the motor obviously, but it took them 3 months...

You're not wrong here! Fluid Film every fall and a good rinse after driving on i70 seems to be keeping it in nice shape though!

You're right - the programming is obviously different on the ranger, and maybe that has to do with it. But on this forum, nobody has made it to or past 100k without a complete failure.

If you find me one that makes it past 100k without replacement, I'm all ears. So far there are 0 to my knowledge. Its a fast, fun, and capable truck. It isn't reliable. NO VEHICLE should need a head gasket or EGR valve - for the life of the motor. Its commonplace here. Feel free to bury your...

I know of one that was tuned, two that weren't, and mine. So 4 total in a very small sample size (there may be more). "Death by negligence" is far from the truth. If his head gasket was leaking by 90k miles, that isn't negligence on his part, its on Ford. These aren't Subaru's. Head gaskets...

Not 100% sure. I traded the truck off instead of dealing with warranty & being without a truck for 3+ months. From what I gathered, something head gasket or cylinder wall related. It was drinking a tank of coolant per/1000 miles - no leaks on the ground, dumping white smoke though.

I dont disagree - but the original problem should have happened either. These trucks are ALL still NEW. Hardly any are over 100k miles yet. I wont say the sky is falling, but if I ever buy another ford truck I will be working into my budget money for a new transmission within the first 5 years...

This is the issue with the herd mentality on this forum sometimes. Call a spade a spade. There are a ton of engine issues documented on this forum. I had an engine fail myself, and my transmission was being weird before that happened too. The long and short of it is that the ranger was supposed...

I came from the land of many toyota's before my ranger - and I went back. On paper the tacoma is a worse truck in every measureable way - slower, less comfortable etc.. but its also the only midsize offered with a long bed and a real cab. So I got a 21 tacoma. So far its been great, and I expect...

This is the same thing that happened to me '20 at 36,400 miles. I dumped the rig, and lost all faith in Ford. These failures are happening way too often to be considered normal. Even with the small sample size that is this forum, too many people are having problems.

Its $65 to replace it. 3+ hours of driving would cost that in gas alone. I'd just replace it myself.
