  1. Rattle Under Ranger with Bumps

    I had a rattle that was driving me crazy for months. Just figured it out yesterday. It was a loose swaybar link
  2. Roof trim deteriorated

    The dealer said Ford denied my claim. Annoying thing is all they did was take pictures and kept my car all weekend and wouldn't return my calls. Should I just take it to another dealer and try again or escalate the issue through another channel? My 5 year corrosion is up on June
  3. Bed narrower at front than rear.

    I have the bak revolver x4s and I had a problem where the rear bed was too wide and it was preventing the cover from staying latched. I realized that it was because I had one of those ratcheting cargo bars in the rear that was spreading the bed walls out. Got rid of the cargo bar and now I don't...
  4. Android Auto and other forms of Mental Anguish..

    What you are describing sounds like you need a better cable. USB cables are not all equal. Make sure your cable is USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). Don't get a USB cable that says something like "charging cable only" and make sure it says "USB 2.0" or higher.
  5. Mounting bed rack through top rail

    I am thinking about mounting aluminum extruded t-slot rails along the top of the bed rail caps. I think there are 6 holes on the inboard side of the top rails that I plan on using to mount the rails. That way I only have to drill through the plastic caps and if I ever need to return to stock I...
  6. Speed VS RPM

    So I think what you are trying to find is the most fuel efficient steady state cruising speed. Steady state meaning you are not accelerating, not changing air intake flow or fuel flow. The best way to figure that out is to find a long, straight, level road and use the instantaneous mpg readout...
  7. Android Auto, phone/dash integration

    @Big Blue is 100000% correct. None of the issues described by @TxRanger386 or @9zero1790 are Android auto features. The apps that are available over Bluetooth are Sync apps, not Android auto apps. Sync apps are terrible and barely work and should not be used by anyone for any reason whatsoever
  8. SD Area Day-Trip Trails

    Otay truck trails or Ocotillo are probably the most popular places to go.
  9. CAN bus Failure

    Get FORSCAN. Try to read data from every module. If you are getting errors from multiple modules you probably have a wiring problem. There are (iirc) 3 CAN buses on the truck. Hopefully the wiring problem is just on 1 bus. There is also a chance that a 12V wire shorted with a CAN wire and that...
  10. FX4 Off Road Angles Display

    Does the XL have onboard navigation? I speculate that's where the inertial data comes from. Most navigation systems don't solely rely on satellite data. They use an inertial measurement unit (gyro, accelerometer, magnetometer) and supplement it with satellite data.
  11. Looking at moving to South Sound area

    I've lived all around socal (la, oc, sd) for almost my entire life. Just moved to the south sound last summer and I also work in Kent. For me, just because I was used to LA traffic didn't mean Seattle traffic was no big deal. Traffic around here is equally frustrating. I would try to keep my...
  12. No Audio Input Jack

    FM modulator!?! Do you guys have shag seat covers and the The Club!? A 6-disc CD changer in the center console!? I am not familiar with the onyx but a quick search shows they make bluetooth docks for several onyx models. Several advantages over FM modulator: Significantly better sound quality...
  13. CAN bus Failure

    CAN buses are multi-master distributed networks. There are no central CAN bus controllers, hubs, or components to replace. It's most likely a single module that is pinging all those systems you mentioned that has failed. Body control module?
  14. Has anyone installed Roadmaster Active Suspension?

    Seems janky to me. Lots of metal on metal contact and high pressure on the leafs. Also, I'm not sure what these guys think an "active" system is but that is not it.
  15. PNW mpg

    I'm in Seattle proper. I almost always fill up at the Costco in Sodo. I also work from home and lately I have noticed that the auto start stop hasn't been working so I've been leaving it on a trickle charger thinking that may be a factor. So now even with the auto start stop working again the...
  16. Ford's New Patent Could Be A Solution To An Age-Old Truck Bed Problem

    Bicycle wheel chocks, temporary tie downs, cargo bins, tool boxes. A whole line of accessories for Ford to sell.
  17. PNW mpg

    So I just moved to Seattle last summer from San Diego. In San Diego I was getting ~19-20 mpg city. Now in Seattle I'm getting ~16 mpg city. Is this typical? No mods since I've moved. I know there are environmental factors such as gas, terrain, climate. I've even stopped using my seat warmers to...
  18. Dealer in Orange County … or San Diego Area???

    Never had a problem with Kearny Mesa Ford. I've had several Fords serviced there without issue and even bought my Ranger there. Also, right next door to San Diego famous Lolita's mexican restaurant
  19. Catalytic Converter Protection

    It's literally just news that is not real, ie, fake
