These engines are different than any other vehicle I've owned when it comes to checking oil. The truck either needs to literally sit overnight (or at least several hours) to get a good reading off the dipstick, or if you pull the dipstick the oil settles faster and you can get a good reading...

The difference between a liter and quart is pretty marginal.

There are 2 fuel pumps on DI vehicles. The low pressure fuel pump in the tank, and the high pressure fuel pump, which is engine driven and provides the high pressure needed for direct injection.

Same I barely missed the change! Ford Tech Makuloco has a good video explaining the benefits of yellow over orange, so I did a full flush with distilled water and switched over to yellow.

Haha yeah that would be my concern too. Honestly I've gone well over GCWR with my Ranger (I weighed everything to get reimbursed for my move) and never felt unsafe or anything. Wouldn't do it regularly though.

And I never disagreed that it would have an effect on towi And I never disagreed that adding weight can effect your towing capability (that was someone else) but for most Ranger owners, the amount they tow and load in their Ranger will never get them close to GCWR, with or without the extra 70...

Okay so looks like this isn't for you. Though you are probably well over GCWR anyway if your truck is loaded to the gills and you are towing 7500 lbs as you said.

Good work on those numbers. At the end of the day though, it's just a trade off. You can have 150 lbs extra in gas, or 150 lbs less in trailer or gear. Many of us will gladly take the extra gas, some will want the extra payload and GCWR. The great thing about gas though is that if you really...

But are you also towing 7500 lbs on these camping trips? I still think it's a very worthy use of payload to nearly double your range. But of course if it doesn't suit your particular needs you can simply not buy it.

That's true, but I don't think GCWR is generally going to be the limiting factor for Ranger drivers. In most cases you will hit 7500 towing long before GCWR, unless you also have your Ranger loaded to the gills.

It is stated earlier that the replacement tank will be about 100 lbs, so maybe 50-70 lbs heavier than stock. Fuel weighs about 6.5 lbs/ gallon, so you can do the math there.

Can't wait to see pictures and learn more about it!

You might have to then roll it up and hold it in the up position for 10 seconds as well. Then auto window should work again.

That will always happen when the battery disconnects on any car. It's a safety feature or something. Typically you roll the window down manually and hold it down for an extra 10 seconds or so.

Fuel economy page, scroll down. It will tell you why exactly it is not activated.

I never used 5w40, only ever used 5w30 (maybe I made a typo in a previous post) but I did switch to Rotella gas truck 5w30 and only occasionally have used anything else since.

Hey, OP here. I assume most of you are familiar with my original story with the rapidly rising crankcase levels. Since having my injectors replaced 20,000 miles ago the problem has never returned at that same level. However, during the very cold weather we had not long ago I did notice the oil...

I'm the OP. I felt a lot of regret when I first had this problem like you are, especially because my dealer refused to acknowledge it as a problem. 10,000 miles since getting new injectors I've yet to have a problem since. I'm super happy with the truck since then. I hope you can get it fixed...

Smell will be normal, just look for climbing dipstick. That's not normal.

Yep! Oil level fluctuates a little, but has yet to go back over the full mark on the dipstick. It's been 2000+ miles since fixed.
