@MountainGoat: Completely understand your feelings. One thing I'm not sure of is exactly who originates those surveys. I don't believe it's the CEO. It sounds like a 3rd party company that goes to the business and offers to conduct the surveys in return for providing bonuses for good...

Understand the feellings of each responder. Yes, these surveys are "overrated," and, like everyone, I sometimes have to bite my lip when I'm asked to give the business an "outstanding" when an "average" is appropriate. Here's the other side and how these surveys work. If the business does...

@Grumpaw. You forgot standing on one foot, counter clockwise rotating three times on an odd numbered day, but even numbered month ... and on Leap Year, which is fortunatley here.

Yeah, your battery is on it's last legs. There is one thing you could try witch might help and that is to reset your BMS chip. It's the little square item on the negative post of your battery. Do the following: - Turn the truck on, do not start. - Flash your headlights six times - Flash...

The additional fluid beyond the normal drop the pan amount is in the torque converter. Some older models of Fords used to have drain plugs in the torque converter so you could more fully change the fluid. Some dealers change the fluid by disconnecting the coolant lines and pumping new fluid in...

@Rangerdude123. 7 3/4 + quarts. There is another recent thread which I explained more fully how I changed the transmission fluid.

I got 60K from my OEMs. Had another 5-10K tread life remaining but winter was coming and I needed a decent snow tire. From Nov - April, I drive 6 miles one way on 100% snow covered/packed road just to get to the highway which is sometimes 100% snow covered. I replaced the OEMs with the same...

Don't flame me, but I did something different than the procedure outlined in the several University of Youtube clips I watched. Decided the the process of warming/checking/running through the gears etc. and checking again, was just a PITA, so did the following. I very carefully captured...

Just change mine at 62K. Used brake cleaner on the pan then wiped it dry. No damage and very little debris on the magnet.

I installed the Ford separator last fall, about 4K miles ago. I've drained it twice because it's so easy to do. Each time got about a 1/4 cup of milky liquid. Since it's winter the water condensation in the separator is to be expected. Perhaps I was just lucky, or Ford changed the lower...

The engineer that approved Ford's lug nut deisgn should be speed slapped into next week. What on earth were they thinking? No matter how careful you are, sooner or later those lug nuts will need replacing. If you use an electric or air gun you'll be replacing those lug nuts even sooner...

If there is a need for a solar on a vehicle your install is a good way to do it. Never understood why manufacturers (Audi did this for a period) install a solar panel in place of a glass sunroof, a particularly useful option in southern climates to operated a vent fan, and/or keep the battery...

Interesting. Can't imagine the U.S. changing. Look how well the metric system was accepted after the big push. As you say the cost would have been significant. Lived in Japan for two years from '73-'75 and don't recall seeing any Australian vehicles in country. Actually went the length of...

@ Rob. Farley has said he wants to get warranty claims under control - Ford's is the worst in the industry and is costing the company billions. A guess on my part, but suspect the reason only 100 Rangers were built was ironing out QC issues. Ford began a third shift a few weeks ago and...

While i totally agree with the replies being forwarded - it's not a good deal - let me offer an alternative. - First and foremost, keep your existing Ranger - If you can afford the increased payments of $800/$1000 month for the Raptor, then pay your existing Ranger forward IOT get out from...

Disconnect the two breather hoses (push the green tab counter clockwise) and lift the container off it's guide. Then dump the contents out one of the hose fittings. Reinstall. Five minutes.

Asking about what oil (or fuel) to use on any vehicle forum ALWAYS opens a fire storm because everyone has their own ideas about what it best. In truth it depends upon how long you expect to keep your truck. Every time I've bought a vehicle I always say - "I'm going to keep it until the wheels...

My '19 Ranger has a bit more than 62,000 miles. At 55,000 miles I installed the Ford Catch Can. I don't have data for summer yet, but in emptying it about every 1,500 miles in the cold, dry climate of Wyoming, the discharge from the catch can (~ 1/4 cup) is mostly water with a enough oil...

- Good retired friend lives inside the beltway in D.C. F-250 owner. Tells me he never drives to dinner in the city. Takes Uber. Vehicle thiefs are 6-12 every weekend. - In the Western Pacific and in the Navy, a coworker received a note from his storage facility in San Diego that his truck...

When the news reports smash and grab and now crash and grab as well as other theft, they leave out the fact we all pay for this one way or another. Because of the OP's stolen tail lights and their high cost everyones insurance goes up. And, depending upon his insurance companies claim cost...
