  1. 3W Discount | Why We Recommend 3W Floor Mats for Rainy & Snowy Seasons

    I am not at all happy with my Weather Tech mats. The material is very stiff and they slide all over the place when I get in the truck. There is no Ford-designed anchor point. I complained to Weather Tech and they sent me giant sticky pads, free of charge. Hower, how are you supposed to remove...
  2. WOOHOO, GO FORD!!

    Yeah, but years back, they should have even recalled all the badges, for the blue paint going away. They couldn't even produce THEM right.
  3. Weird dome light situation

    Amazing. I pushed on the passenger light once, and now there is no problem. I don't know that I would have ever figured that out myself. I can guess how it got that way, though. My wife has dementia, so it would have been logical in her mind to press the actual light. It certainly wouldn't have...
  4. Weird dome light situation

    I get into the truck with the engine off. The dome lights (both) come on. I start the engine. Both lights fade out and then the passenger side comes on and stays on. It will not ever go off unless I reach up and move the rocker switch off the center position. It doesn't matter what direction I...
  5. How do you convince your dealer to replace the DPFE?

    I can't believe that the dealers and Ford don't even seem to be aware of that sensor issue. It would seem to me that, both from a PR and cost standpoint, it would be a LOT smarter for them to volunteer changing that sensor before ripping into a transmission. I don't have access to a diagnostic...
  6. CDF Drum Replacement

    I'm glad it's fixed. My compliments to whoever wrote up that job report. I used to write things like that in my work as a marine tech, and the people in the office who had to type it up hated my guts; but hey, what was he supposed to write? "Fix transmission, 40 hours?" I wish that dealer was...
  7. Transmission Hesitation and complete lack of initial transmission engagement despite DPFE change

    I was an outboard motor tech for 51 years. The Big Two when I retired were Mercury (US) and Yamaha (Japan) The difference I always saw was that, while the Japs had their fair share of screw-ups, at least they had a conscience. If they screwed up, they corrected the problem and were VERY generous...
  8. Transmission Hesitation and complete lack of initial transmission engagement despite DPFE change

    I have a 2020 with 38K. The other day, I left the driveway and the engine revved higher than usual and then absolutely SLAMMED into a gear. From then on, it would not automatically up-shift, at ALL. I had to use the shift switch on the transmission lever to up-shift, which worked fine...
  9. Ford Ranger: A Refined and Powerful Contender Reclaims Its Spot

    They show the seats because they sure look better than the 10-speed transmission. How could anybody be expected to trust one word of a write-up that reads like that?
  10. Pro-Active Battery Replacement ?

    Thanks very much, Tony. I ordered the kit. I should have known what the ASS was. I had that in my 2019 Jeep Wrangler, too. I got rid of "the brick-shaped Lexus" before I had to do the batteries on that crate. Yes, there were TWO.
  11. Pro-Active Battery Replacement ?

    I need to do the battery on my 2020 XL. No problems, just common pre-emptive sense. So, what are you guys talking about with "ASS?" Also, any recommendations on a good memory saver tool?
  12. Ranger Super Duty on Sale in Aus next year.

    Well, I could never afford that, but WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Putting fuel in the tank with a portable tank?

    So THAT'S what that thing is for!! I thought it was going to be for something more exotic. I both can't wait, and am apprehensive, to try it out! Thanks for the quick answer!
  14. Putting fuel in the tank with a portable tank?

    I had no problem using a portable tank to put fuel in my '06 Ranger. I had a long neck funnel with an angle up and a fine filter in the funnel. I can't get this same rig into the capless filler. C'mon now, have we advanced so far that you can't gas up without being at a gas station? This is...
  15. DPFE sensor change (sensor only)

    I installed my new sensor and the truck runs 100 times better!! Probably just like new!! A huge thank you to all that have done the leg work to make it so easy to do, on my end! I was going to proceed with the Massachusetts Lemon Law, thinking I needed a new transmission. Instead, it cost me a...
  16. DPFE sensor change (sensor only)

    That's fantastic. Thank you! I hope this works. Beats a transmission!
  17. DPFE sensor change (sensor only)

    I'm new to this site, so pardon my stupidity, but WHERE on the engine is this sensor? I have a new one ordered but so far, I am not sure I can even SEE this thing....
  18. New Members Introduce Yourself!

    Good morning. I'm Bill, and I recently got a 2020 XL STX black extended cab. 37K miles. I would have bought new, but all Ford offers these days is the school bus model, with just about enough bed space for a couple of potted plants. While that's great for some people, they are useless to me. At...
