  1. Ford is replacing the long block - corroded cylinder

    Oh, shoot I forgot to reply to the biggest question, did the engine cover come with it, since they are using that as the excuse for the apparent water drainage issue. The answer is no. I'll either buy a better made after market one or use the ol pool noodle trick shown in a different post in...
  2. Ford is replacing the long block - corroded cylinder

    (Part 2 of 2) I got my truck back after roughly two weeks. One week, for the engine to actually get delivered and one week wait time for the work. Once again, I'm up and running and the engine sounds the same as it did when firing well on all cylinders before the issue occurred. The only thing...
  3. Ford is replacing the long block - corroded cylinder

    (Part 1 of 2) I was hoping to evade this problem, but it seems I've fallen victim to the ol' water draining down onto the spark plug issue. My 2021 (1st revision 2019- early 2201) Ranger Tremor has 57k miles and has run fine until it suddenly didn't, this past Saturday. Driving it down the...
  4. [Resolved] Transmission downshift at highway speeds and then it wigged out.

    Well yea, if you go to Ford with it, I imagine it would higher. Looking around my area, it varies from 5k to 7k (rebuilt and labor) for a third-party mechanic.
  5. [Resolved] Transmission downshift at highway speeds and then it wigged out.

    Well, Zero dollars because I'm at 56k miles. Powertrain warranty is up to 60k. The invoice didn't price out what it would've been otherwise. I hate to think what they'd have charged otherwise. Interesting entry on the second page that I missed. Apparently after showing where they replaced the...
  6. [Resolved] Transmission downshift at highway speeds and then it wigged out.

    Understood. I had changed my transmission fluid earlier this year at around 48k miles. I didn't, however, do a "relearn" on the control module, which could, or would've probably helped kick the bucket down the road. But I knew I was going have to get Ford to cover it before it was too late...
  7. 10R80 transmission poll.

    Here is the tech in this link explaining it quickly. 10R80 Repair
  8. 10R80 transmission poll.

    I definitely appreciate you thinking of this. Good idea. My is being overhauled based on the TSB 23-2250, as I type this.
  9. [Resolved] Transmission downshift at highway speeds and then it wigged out.

    I want to respond to your original question. I realize that various owners can resolve, if only temporarily or permanent, issues with their vehicles, but I believe my experience aligns with your symptoms better. The rough shifting is a Ford defect (due to poor design) in the 10R60/10R80/10R80...
  10. 21 Tremor - A New Noise Has Appeared

    That does sound like a lifter noise to me. Mine doesn't do that or I'd be taking it to the dealership to have it fixed. Do you have extended warranty?
  11. Ford Ranger Among ‘Most Dangerous’ Pickup Trucks

    It had an 4/5 crash test rating for the 19-23 models. Seems like a bit too late to retract that rating. What did they decide to start using to crash test it in order to get such a bad review? Run over it with a dump truck?
  12. 23 Tremor vs 22 Ram Rebel (or something else)?

    Like the advisor above, I too drive a 2021 Tremor Lariat, and I really do like it. No buyer's remorse from my standpoint. The motor has good power when passing cars while driving on the freeways or pulling my 2100lb camper trailer around off road. I recommend making sure you get the towing...
  13. I am an idiot. I screwed up somewhere and am lucky to have not died/killed someone/crashed.

    Glad you are ok, and nothing happened. I just happened to rotate my own wheels/tires on my truck a week ago while also added 1-inch spacers. This new scenario for me requires torquing two sets of nuts per drum/wheel. I bought a torque wrench and checked the manual for the Tq specs and then as I...
  14. FORD issues a do-not -drive- advisory

    Thanks for the clarification. I heard that on the radio, but they didn't say which Rangers they applied to. I kept thinking, didn't they deal with that like 10 years ago? It makes sense that they are reissuing an alert for a lot of older models. I asked my Ford Service department about my 2021...
  15. Anyone get the 24B47 done to their truck. and did it work?

    Having it done on Thursday (15th). I haven't really experienced any issues with the sync.
  16. Advice on descending steep grades in low gear

    Driving in the Appalachians and the winding up and down mountainous roads, I made it fine in tow mode pulling my 2000lbs trailer. I know the question was stated without a trailer, but the Ranger held its gear traveling downhill when on a fairly steep slope. I tried to manually shift to see if I...
  17. New Puppy = New Interior Mods. Favorite Dog Car Seat Covers?

    Nice inexpensive recommend. I bought this one last week. Thanks for the post. The fitment is great and it's easy to take in and out. I take long road trips so this will work great. I will mention that my dog is about 26lbs, so he doesn't need the whole back area to be extended just for him.
  18. Pin Stripes

    Here's what I did. It's different, but I like my updated Tremor logo better now.
  19. Questions to RV Camper Types

    I'll reply to your first question (1) about the towing weight. You are well within the 7500lbs spec of the Ranger. I've had no issues towing around 2200lbs with my Bushwhacker Radical edition. Total length 16'. The Ranger pulls and handles great with a load behind it. Fuel economy for you will...
  20. Both Leaf Springs Broke

    Something here don't add up. This is more of a one-off situation. I haven't heard of a double leaf spring failure on this forum and it's also not common in ANY truck for both to arbitrarily fail at the same time. I think that Ford needs to lay out how this occurred. It's their product, they need...
