  1. Black, Sooty Exhaust

    I think the moisture created in the exhaust due to the cooler weather traps the soot into ways we can see it more easily than if it just floated away on drier exhaust air. So the moisture with soot drips through the weep hole or collects at the exhaust outlet versus floating off with the...
  2. Terrain management upgrade?

    From what I remember the Forscan program makes it really easy to do. Been awhile since I used it on my truck. Smart thing is to save a copy of your settings before you make any changes. If I were closer I would offer to help, NurseNeil. It has been awhile since I did mine. Also did a few...
  3. Auto Start/Stop doesn't work anymore

    @AzScorpion , I think your post might have been the one that inspired me to go get my truck checked out. I do have a battery charger and a jetski / boat battery tender that I might put on there every now and then. To make sure the battery is topped up. Remember checking it some time ago...
  4. Auto Start/Stop doesn't work anymore

    I had them look at my truck recently because it had been some time (weeks to months) since I remember auto stop/start working as usual. Some on here with similar problems had mentioned a faulty battery cell as their cause. Went to the dealer to double check on that. After them doing their...
  5. Took my ranger to a Jeep Offroad Rally!

    Looks like you all had a nice time. Gotta love them old style covered bridges. Just something about them I find neat. Maybe because one does not see too many of them anymore.
  6. Maverick MPG

    Here is a link to the Maverick forum that just posted a window sticker for the 2.0L. 23 city / 30 hwy / 26 comb EPA MPG. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/official-2022-maverick-window-sticker-for-2-0l-fwd-%E2%80%93-23-30-26-epa-mpg.1478/

    Here ya go. Second picture down shows all three lined up side by side. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/first-good-look-at-carbonized-gray-maverick-size-comparison-vs-ranger-vs-f-150.1180/
  8. Should I drain a little oil?

    You can always use your siphon take out enough to get you down to the second hole in the dipstick. Save what you pulled out to have an idea on how much you removed. Keep a regular eye on the oil level for a few weeks (or even months). That way you have some peace of mind on what your oil...
  9. Rightline Gear Bed tent

    Looks nice, thanks for sharing. I'm sure a towel or something to be used to plug up the gap by the tailgate to keep out the wind if needed. The price seems hard to beat.
  10. Alpharex PRO Review

    OK, thank you very much. That explains it. Appreciate the quick response. I am liking these lights and thinking of getting them in the future.
  11. Alpharex PRO Review

    Can someone please explain more on what you are talking about with this fuse 24 / fuse 27 thing? When looking at pictures on the Alpharex website some models had an extra wire with an inline fuse holder. Is that what you mean? Original poster and website make it seem plug and play but some...
  12. Too much oil in my 2.3?

    Against the manual, I tend to prefer to check my oil when the engine is cold after sitting overnight. Oil can get thrown up into the dipstick tube when the engine is running. This can cover the dipstick as it gets removed in checking the oil level giving a false reading. At least that is how...
  13. Alpharex PRO Review

    Very nice.
  14. Rotor Rant

    About how long ago were the tires rotated before you noticed the warped rotors? Wondering if the lug nuts were cranked on there a little too tight, possibly warping your rotors.
  15. Cyber Orange & Saber Compare

    I had wondered how the two colors compared to each other. Saw one on a local lot the other day and thought I would stop by. Figured my yellow pollen covered Saber Ranger might look similar. They sure look different close together. The Cyber Orange seems almost yellow. A salesman came up...
  16. Finally stomped on it today.

    Did you stomp on it with or without Sport mode? That can make a bit of a difference. :) Glad you enjoyed it. It is a fun truck.
  17. How to format a flash drive for the best quality of music?

    The formats you mentioned do not change the quality of the music files. I would stay with NTFS it is the newer file system on the list and does not have the file size limits that the other two do. For example large single files such as video files and greater than a GB each. Not something to...
  18. Fuel in oil

    There will always be some amount oil left remaining inside the engine after it is drained for an oil change. I plan to just add the 6 quarts and not worry about the extra .2 quart. If it looks like it really needs it when I check later then I will add the .2.
  19. Double negative land art visit trip

    Amazing what some 'artists' consider as 'art' these days. At least you got some nice, quality 'Me Time ' with your Ranger with a pretty vista on the way there and back. :like:
  20. Transmission slipping out of gear?

    Had something like that happen to me with my 2019 Ranger. A valve body in the transmission was sticking. I also got a P0751 PCM error code with it. Mine happened at less than 5k miles. Not the best of feelings when your new truck does not want to move under it's own power. Thankfully I...
