I've always been a GM guy until this Ranger. Was pretty disappointed that the dealer tried one TSB to fix the startup vibes before they gave up. I ended up having to fix myself which makes me Leary of the 2024. They can't/won't fix their bad designs once you purchase.

Yeah Ford shows commercial about Raptor then will make it nearly impossible to get one.

Where are you located, I have a second shaft and was planning on doing the same to it but no longer have to. Truck had 1400 miles on it when removed.

You are correct that this in decades old drive line principles but knowing most won't do the research I thought I would share my setup to help others. Swapping to the one piece for $700 isn't needed if time is taken to measure your angles and modify them correctly. Shimming the two piece is...

Ford purposely has their shafts about 15 degrees out of phase. Probably part of our problem. If I was to re-balance I would buy another from a used truck salvage and re- clock into phase and then balance. Ford also doesn’t have the pinion flange parallel to either the front shaft angle or the...

Well I guess that would be why I couldn’t find a aluminum shaft. ?

I think you would sell more shafts if it was made from aluminum instead of steel. That's what kept me from buying.

The problem most of us are having with changing the shaft to the one piece is not wanting to have our factory warranty voided from having a non-factory shaft installed. The service manager at my dealer said Ford would more than likely void the warranty if I install the one piece. I want to but...

Lifting body or lowering axle which ever way you want to look at it increases your angles.

Thank you!

A 1 inch increase in rear height would actually take the driveline numbers the wrong direction according to Dana driveline calculator. The rear needs to drop to lower the driveshaft angle a couple degrees.

I searched but didn't find. Does anyone know the carrier bearing torque specs? 2022 Ranger 4x4 Thanks

My 2022 also has the takeoff shudder. Had it into the dealer for the TSB for the pinion shim. I measured the angle before taking it in 6.10º. After I got it back they said they used a 1.5º shim because the measured 7º before the shim was installed and said they saw 5º after. Keep in mind they...

Do you have a link to that thread? Thinking about doing this to my lariat. Do all of the lariat menu screens show up on the XLT cluster? Thanks
