I cannot remember which version of Sync I have, but I updated it last year. This last week every time I start my truck, it is playing the last radio station that it was set to AND it is on Day Mode. I have gone into the basic settings to put it back to night mode, but it goes back to day and...

I recently experienced the smell of oil in my AC, so I pulled my oil catch-can and checked my oil. I will edit this post with pictures from the catch-can, but it appears to indicate moisture in the crankcase. A friend suggested I may have a vacuum leak somewhere. I have about 114k miles on my...

I am sure this is answered somewhere, but I couldn’t find it. Anyone know if a BFG A/T KO2 285/70R17 fit in the spare tire well?

So there is a sensor on the fan clutch that runs between the pulleys and the radiator fan. It is attached to a roughly 3/4 inch wide radiator hose going from the fan assembly to what looks like a steel nub going nowhere on the accessory cover. It LOOKS LIKE the tube is nothing but a way to...

Trying to figure out Jack height I need. I have a 2.5 inch level and 33 inch tires. Jacking off the frame rail, will a 21” max jack height work?

I recently tore a CV boot and ordered a replacement front right axle for my XLT. I will rebuild the first one as a spare. But I noticed while I was ordering the axle that there is another left and right axle with different part numbers that say "tow pack." They are considerably more expensive...

What kind of mileage are you all seeing on the factory brake pads? I am about to turn 74k miles with the original pads. I have always been easy on my brake pads in anything I have driven, but I wanted to know if this many miles is common. My last pad inspection was on a reallignment and rotation...

I have a trip back to the high watermark trail in Arkansas in December. After the last trip it was very clear that I didn’t ingest water out of pure luck. So I wanted a snorkel before December. I didn’t want the ARB snorkel and didn’t want to wait for any of the others still in the works. I...

So I have a 2.5 inch strut spacer leveling kit in the front. In January in the Ozarks I had a sway bar link on the front fail at the ball joint. I finally got around to replacing them with OEM links a couple months ago. I have done only normal driving since. Well one just failed today (or at...

So I have been experiencing a banging sounds on sharp bumps for the last few thousand miles. It sounds like a loose bracket. I have checked everything. It SEEMS LIKE it is coming from the upper ball joint on the front passenger side. I am going to put it on a lift next week and figure it out...

Installed the ARB skid plates on my 4x4 Sport tonight. Took a bit of finagling, but it looks good and feels solid. Got a Fumoto valve, but the extension snapped in half with almost no tightening. Not impressed.

It has been posted elsewhere, but I recently had an alternator failure most likely due to dirty water and/or mud getting into the alternator. This is not a complaint thread--this is an attempt to troubleshoot. I have done a few overlanding trips to the Ozarks in the last few months. In August I...

I recently had mounted a set of Toyo Open Country A/T II’s in 265/70R17 on my factory sport 17 inch wheels. They are inflated at about 30 PSI right now (we have had a Florida cold snap, so they were at about 32 last week). They look to my eye a little low, and most of the information I have...

I installed a leveling kit yesterday and managed to pop one of my sway bar linkages apart. Obviously the truck handles just fine without it connected, but I would rather replace it. Any ideas on inexpensive options? NAPA has a set for $70 which seems exorbitant for sway bar linkages.

This morning as I was pulling out of my driveway, I noticed the screen (was on the radio screen) randomly switch to my reverse camera. I had just slowed to a stop to look for cross traffic, so I double checked to make sure I was in Drive (once had the shifter linkage fail in my Fusion), and I...

What are the options for snorkels on the 5th Gen Ranger? Is the Ranger Basecamp type snorkel available anywhere?
