Took mine back to the dealer this morning because the problem persists. Tech said the only thing left to replace is the FCIM, so I think that's the path they are going down.
Mechanics go crazy with that brakleen. Ford would have been stupid to put a pan on that can't tolerate it. Keep in mind that there are a lot of different types of plastic, and some of them would be dissolved by motor oil or transmission fluid. I don't know exactly what ford used to make to...
I took mine to the dealer, after all. They replaced the entire HVAC in dash air box, and it didn't fix the problem. I believe what they replaced was essentially the same as in the 2019 TSB. Just my luck. I suspect either a temperature sensor or whatever module is controlling the thing.
I had a similar issue to this on my front drive shaft. Turned out to be some grease leaking out of the vent hole. Dealer said it would do it just a little bit, then stop. That is in fact what happened, and I had no trouble after that.
I have a similar issue to this in my 2022, and have so far decided not to haul it to the dealer, simply because it is difficult to duplicate. Overall, the truck cabin heats up and cools down as needed. If you manually manipulate the HVAC, there is nothing mechanically wrong. Both side can...
I have a similar noise at lower speeds also, but it has always been there. Just a droning noise when you let off the accelerator. It's not terribly loud, but it is noticeable. It takes the faintest touch to the throttle to make the noise complete stop - like a toggle switch. I doubt...
Agree with all of the above. One simple thing to check. Did the oil filter spin off? It's not common, but I have seen it happen and it will dump all the oil in moments. Unfortunately, your engine is probably irreparably damaged regardless of the cause.
People just follow too close to pickup trucks in small cars with no ability to see what's happening beyond the larger truck. When someone gets too close, I just leave a lot of space between myself and the car in front.
I would not go 150K either, but stop looking at the color. Ever since Ford switch to the LV line of fluids, the color changes very quickly. You'll be changing it with your oil if you use color.
They've got one used in the Bronco, so all of that certifying, building, maintaining stuff is happening already. Same engine and similar platform. Bronco is a newer platform than the Ranger, and it's definitely not dead.
Not sure why Ford doesn't off the 6 Speed manual. They have them sitting in the same plant and mated to the same engine and transfer case. I'm guessing it's a EPA fuel economy thing, since newer automatics usually beat manuals on the EPA test loop.
As many of you have stated, there are a lot we don't know and the tech is jumping to some conclusions without all the data. I have submitted a sample of 5w-30 full synthetic (supposedly Valvoline bulk oil) from my Ecoboost Fusion with over 8000 miles on it. It was fine. Looked like Hell...
Feature for feature, the new 2024 rangers are a few thousand more than the 2023s. Problem is that they took away the lower end and created more high end. Car manufacturers seem to also advertise the "Raptors" and the "Tremors" and really cool variations that 99% of the market does not need...
Wow! You don't drive it too much! Glad you are still happy with it. As you describe your ordering experience, I feel like car manufacturers like Ford that want to go to a "build to order" business will need to have more predictable delivery dates.
