I ordered a full set of high and low-beam LEDs from Headlight Revolution in April of 2025 (GTR Ultra 2 LED High Beams and CSP Mini LED Low Beams), and installed them without incident. They have fans in their assembly for heat dissipation, which I can hear running when I shut down the truck...

Good point Steve - what I wrote earlier was confusing, the damage was definitely to the 7b177 "trash can" cylinder as you noted and I was told the entire internal assembly was replaced. Fingers crossed for a long, happy experience going forward!

AND NOW...ANOTHER UPDATE! So y'all will remember my Jan. 20 post singing the praises of the San Tan Ford service center, and the great results I had there. I still feel the same as I did before about this service center, maybe even better; but I DID have to return again recently for additional...

I have a Ford Protect service plan (Gold level) - I bought it directly from the Ford dealer when I bought my truck used from them in 2022. My Ranger is a 2020 and had high mileage for its age, so I felt it was a wise option. This proved to be true when I recently had my transmission serviced -...

UPDATE! I brought my Ranger in to San Tan Ford in Gilbert, AZ on Monday Jan. 5 to have the harsh shifting issue fixed. They gave me a '24 Bronco Sport to use as a rental during the repairs (which was a really nice vehicle, I really enjoyed driving it). The service advisor asked me early on if...

Well, all good points, but again - I have no options, as the old pan is gone. I'll call over to the service dept and ask if I can talk to the warranty team - again, I've already spoken directly to the warranty team at Ford Protect and was told there was not an issue with this. I appreciate you...

I'll have to let you know what I find out when I call back to the dealer service department number and re-confirm - I understand your point, but the old pan is gone, it was kept by my mechanic when I had the swap done earlier this year. Not to mention the additional cost I'd be paying to have...

I called the extended service plan info number and had them verify that this would not be a problem. I was told that the extra capacity pan would not affect the service plan, as it was not a change to the mechanical operation of the vehicle, nor was it a major cosmetic change that altered the...

I had my mechanic upgrade my transmission pan to a Mishimoto extra-capacity pan on my 2020 Ranger back in early summer. No leaks, fluid level perfect, great performance so far, and have towed with it once since then. Now, that said, recently I noticed some hesitation when the truck shifts...

I did a bit of driving around today in similar weather and it stayed below 190. I was pretty amazed.

Damn, son! I'm gonna be putting a leveling kit on my front end pretty soon too...I like the look of it and it should improve the towing and off road performance quite a bit too, I hope. What do you do to keep the window trims looking truly black? My window trim straps on the lower part of the...

Yeah, it's definitely a capable vehicle. I'm having fun with the upgrades and extra stuff.

@Grandaccess all good points....I'm not regularly towing, usually I plan a couple of camping trips every year and rent a travel trailer usually around 5000-6000 lbs but no heavier. There is a pretty good transmission cooler already set up on the vehicle, but I do intend to upgrade it at some...

I have a 2020 XLT FX4 (pictured in my profile shot) and I absolutely LOVE it. The 10R80 transmission *has* had some reports of problems, and you can find some good information about some of those online, but I agree with @Jamie Jack - most of us are having really good performance with our trucks...

@ctechbob I did the test this morning - was about 99-100 degrees ambient temp outside throughout the drive. Total time on the road was actually around 38 minutes, and ~40 miles or so. I attached the log - transmission temp never even reached 190. Pulled the Fitzstick when I got back home after...

Hey Frenchy - thanks for the tips, I definitely appreciate it - and had it in my head that 200 seemed to be higher than it should be. I do ultimately want to get a stronger transmission cooler and also a bigger radiator at some point, but mostly just trying to get as much life out of this...

I'll definitely try this, thanks! If it ends up that I'm a bit too full, I should be able to swing by my mechanic's shop and have him pull a bit out if necessary.

Hey Anthony - before, when I paid attention, it was usually below 200 (but admittedly that was prior to the summer heat kicking in, and I didn't always run my OBDLink for everyday driving). Your comments make me feel better, though - if these temps seem normal to you in Vegas, maybe that's...

Hey Joe - generally speaking, I recall that it rarely got much past the engine temp (usually around 190-195 tops when I paid attention and wasn't towing), but in truth I did not do a very specific test of baseline temps.

Hey guys, looking for a quick sanity check. I got a new Mishimoto extra capacity transmission pan installed this past Thursday - the mechanic is well known to me and has worked on all my vehicles for over 20 years. I have no concerns about the job he did - no leaks, he also installed my...
