  1. 65K Oil Change, Trans, and Stuff

    Just got my oil change done this weekend. 65,000. I do full synth only (I drive a lot). Rotate tires every time. Had them check trans fluid as it sometimes drives bad at low speeds. Mechanic said its common with the trans in these trucks to need a rebuild. He told me at one point they had...
  2. Approaching Drive Train Warranty

    I am just about at 60k. Fingers and toes are crossed. Anyone one out there beyond 60k and trouble free?
  3. Ready to upgrade suspension.

    Any recommendations on suspension? I drive a TON and want a better ride. I would also like to level it. I am in a FX4. Wifey has a Tremor. Both have their pro/con for suspension. I want something better than both. I drive 75% interstate 20% bouncy country road and 5% dirt. I have read...
  4. Side Steps - Yes/No

    All, I am thinking about removing my steps. I recently saw a Ranger without them and it looked good. I don't use them. Frankly, they get in the way of me getting in. Heck, even with my wifes Tremor, its not high enough that I use the steps... Anyone else not use/need them? Anyone else...
  5. Mice!!

    I have read many threads about how the mice get into the cab of the truck. Somewhere (I have not been able to find it) someone posted exactly where they get in and how to cover it. For the life of me I cant find that post. Anyone help??? By the way, I set traps in the cab, on the wheel, and...
  6. BombCyclone

    Did you survive it? I had a couple pipes freeze and one burst. That was lots of fun... I have homeowners insurance so I am not gonna complain much. Lot of people lost their lives to this crazy storm/system. See the pic below. The temp is me driving in the heart of the cold. Below that is...
  7. Interior Lighting on Lariat

    Ok - so, I just noticed this this morning. On the lariat... you know the mood lighting...? Well, when the door is opened, whatever color you have set changes to red in the door handle. My first thought was... did my wife change my mood lighting?... then I closed the door and turned back to...
  8. Are colors options regional?

    Interesting that in my area IL/WI border, I have never seen a red or blue ranger. I was so surprised to see (as new people introduced themselves) two different red colors and two different blue colors. Love them all. I have never seen one of them in the wild. Only ones I see around here are...
  9. Tremor and FX4 differences

    I drive my Lariat FX4 over 600 miles per week. I have not driven my wife's Tremor in over a month. Today I drove it into work. I thought I would lay out the differences and such for those shopping for a Tremor or FX4. - I could notice the lift as soon as I reached for the door handle to...
  10. Easter Eggs

    Anyone else notice this in the bed of their Ranger? I think its kinda cool. Never seen anything like it on any other truck for vehicle I have owned. I know Ford does a lot of easter eggs on the Bronco. Anyone find anything else like that on the Ranger? I also like the Ranger text at the...
  11. Lariat Leather Seats and Steering Wheel

    Ford marketing says the seats in the Lariat are "Leather Trimmed"... Does anyone know what that means? What part of the seat is leather? If you look at them, there are all kinds of panels, strips, trims, stitching... I like them. But, I am just curious if by leather trimmed Ford means...
  12. CB mount

    Anyone mounted a CB in their Ranger? That is my next project. Looking for ideas.
  13. Tremor Upfitter switches

    Ok - I have a weird one for you all. My wife has the Tremor. She will never use the dash mounted switches that come with the Tremor. I have the FX4 and desperatley want the switches. I was hoping that the wiring harness was in the FX4 and that all I would have to do is plug/play. It does...
