Thanks for all the replies it's much appreciated. I'll update with results of the forscan findings when I can find the time to do it.

It's crazy the way this color can look almost orange and then sometimes a medium/dark red. Must be the tricoat I guess? I love this color.

They don't make pennies anymore either so it's easier to demand a nickel 🤲

Yeah I'm good with the oil light I don't need an oil change I just gotta reset it.

Ah I don't know why I didn't think of that I have a forscan setup I just haven't used it in years. That's a good idea thanks!

I have all these warnings coming on for a couple months now. Scanner doesn't show any codes. Nothing works when it comes to cruise control(adaptive or regular) lane keeping other driver assist stuff like driver alert. Not sure what's going on here. Any suggestions appreciated thank you.

Sorry I missed this comment. Other than easy highway miles it's just back country roads. Thinking about it I don't think I've ever taken this truck off road. Lots of 4x4 snow in the winter

I just spent 5 grand replacing the entire rear end and drive shaft in my 2019. Mechanic said it's common with the Rangers. Count yourself lucky mine went out at 73000 and it's mostly easy highway miles. I found low mileage complete axles on ebay for way cheaper than what I paid but with my...

Yeah it would. I think the center shaft bearing being bad caused the rear end to go. They said the whole thing needs to be rebuilt. This is the downside of not being able to do my own work anymore I don't get a glimpse of the damages and I'm sure I could have done it myself for half the cost if...

Yeah you're right upon looking at them there's definitely not I've added grease fittings to some other types of hubs but yeah this design won't work for that now that I'm looking at it. I do have a tube of super expensive bearing grease used in the crank bearings for rotax engines in skidoo...

End result the entire rear end is shot. Looking at almost 5k in repairs. 73k almost exclusively driven on road/highway. Wheel bearing at 50k now this I'm not impressed with this truck. As a mechanic myself I'm meticulous with it always changing the oil and keeping up on maintenance and already...

Maybe I didn't clarify but it was a complete driveshaft replacement. I wouldn't bother trying to go the other route and I haven't even found where you can order just the center bearing. Dealer recommends complete shaft replacement

Yeah of course I'm thinking longevity with new ones. A simple grease fitting with a weep hole seems to me it would result in longer use. My first one went out at 50k that's just unacceptable.

So Ford dealer says the driveshaft is installed correctly but he says the pinion seal is leaking and thinks the vibration is coming from the rear end. I'm guessing the center bearing being blown out caused the rear-end to have issues. Will hear more later today. Oh also I asked one of the other...

Lots of good stuff thanks to all! That's why I love this site it can be very hard to find a forum with so many knowledgeable members. I wish I could just get rid of that center bearing all together the truck is short enough it really doesn't need it. Also kinda terrible it was totally beat at 65...

Howdy... I've found it's about impossible to find a good mechanic these days. Hurt my back so I can't do my own work anymore. One shop replaced my brakes and the rear calipers were both dragging. Brand new calipers too. Anyway the center bearing for the drive shaft was shot on my 2019 ranger and...

totally agree.

i know this is an old post but this is so true! They much prefer non-warranty work which they make more money on! Almost all dealerships will try using any excuse possible to deny warranty work.

that is a badass truck!
