@Grumpaw - I figured you knew already but just looking out for our Expedition brother here in Ranger land haha.

Yeah I agree with the above sentiment. When I would visit an independent mechanic it had a lot more to do with the fact that I was, at least in an ideal scenario, working with an individual that was trying to earn my business through trust, good work, and fair prices. At the dealership I felt...

Patrick I feel like I'm making this comment more and more these days which is a sign of the times, the trucks are getting older and original members are moving on. BUT - do stick around. We don't care what you drive. Bronco's kick ass. I hope you enjoy it and I hope that you have many healing...

So you've had the entire rear end of your truck rebuilt and/or replaced and this is still happening. You feel like something is hitting you from behind when you're coming to a stop. I mean... picture a crazy man with a foil hat on saying this because I don't know what I'm saying. I'm like the...

For what it's worth I tried to order Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 from Walmart and they cancelled my order because it was out of stock. I put an order in with NAPA now, so, we'll see. Nothing crazy. Just enough for a couple of changes. I'm not trying to add to the problem but since I do my own...

Ditto on the group sentiment - enjoy the new 150! What color did you pick? And do stick around.

Honey, wake up, the new Eddie Bauer edition just launched!

W for Chat GPT. If it were my truck it would have hallucinated those drain holes 😂 Just like it did the height adjustment lever on my new dishwasher and a whole freaking menu on my new camera at work. 😂😂😂😂

With the stock skid plate and the ValvoMax you can do it with the skid plate on - food for thought.

I hope woodworker is ok. He was very active here over the winter.

From the link above, I've edited this to remove the parenthetical related to the article so it will read more fluidly. "multiple product models, an “accidental drive-by”, and a gift, all point to the first vehicle on the UEVP will be an aerodynamic “Ranger” many have guessed will be called...

You're at Diddly Squat Farm so I presume Hammond's Ranger and Clarkson's Bimmer? :crackup:

@Dr. Zaius @Fordup - last fall I splurged on SD cards in preparation for the LVGP Formula 1 photo shoot. Lexar Silver 256gb 1667Pro SD cards for $50 each. I got $400 worth - 8 cards. I remember feeling like I didn't need that many but the price was great. Today - they're selling the same card...

I think if you browse the forum you'll see the topic about "what is great about the truck" pop up every now and then: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/a-win-in-the-ranger-column.42747/ This isn't a unique or original opinion, however, what stands out to me often is the quality of this...

Dang - it didn't really come out in the first picture you posted, but I LOVE the color. Well done.

How far has that trail of coolant gone? It looks like they started dumping fluid and you can see the wet stain next to your truck turn away. Is it still stained? Man I'd be so livid I'd be scooby-doo'ing the ever living crap out of that stain with a magnifying glass and everything. I hope you...

So if I understand correctly - the knock goes away in gears 4-10? Or have you not been faster than gear 3?

If possible I'd park at least the engine bay in the garage with the hood open and let it all dry out and try to knock as much off as I can with a brush. Then you can cover up coils and battery and attack it bit by bit with a garden hose and probably the same brush. I'm thinking with a nozzle...
