Must respect airline tech!

I raised my front 2 inches with Bilstein, replaced the rear with Bilstein. I noticed the head lamps were out of position. The truck is almost level, but noticed the lamps were a bit high. I almost never drive at night, but I need to reposition the headlights to be correct.

I guess I've been fairly lucky. I was getting 24-26 until just recently. I'm not sure why, but the mpg have dropped to about 22. I still like the truck, but still a bit concerned. No codes or lapse in performance. No 4x4, but I did lift the front end up 2 inches a year or so ago. Just...

I began to notice the low battery blue screen on startup with my 2019 Ranger. Then I saw the truck loosing functions like unlock and radio not turning on when I started the Ranger (always leave it on). Not being a smart person, I turned to this forum to learn as much as I could about this...

You must be the Yoda of all Rangers!!?? Much respect...

This just happened to my sons Nissan Titan.

That seems to be my experiece. My youngest son used to have an Acura fancy car. It was always tearing up batteries, and I had to take it in for battery replacement. I finally asked the service manager to check for electrical shorts (I was tired of showing up every month) as my son was a...

Just a quick follow up... I used the NOCO Genius 10, charged the battery, left it on the full charge to let it trickle charge for about 2 hours. Have had no more issues with the low battery screen, and systems turned off on the truck, since I did this...approximately 2 weeks. I still haven't...

That's good to hear. Since I didn't know what to expect, I wanted to understand all that I can expect and avoid the complications. Until the wife's batterty died, I didn't even know you had to register the battery with the car. So, I figured I would have to go through the same steps with the...

So far, I've been lucky. Maybe my time has come.

Sorry, I mis-spoke. The truck came with the AGM. I found this out when I went to AutoZone and had it tested. That was my surprise, I expected a lead acid battery. I'll try the charger to see how that does.

I was surprised the truck came with a lead acid bettery. But, I've never had a problem before the screen came up when I start it. It still starts liks a champ. From what I've read, the AGM batteries have to maintain a high percentage of charge (probably more then the 70% that Ford has...

Probably, but no harm...no foul. I can still use the charger to maintain the new battery.

I had the battery tested yesterday. It tested good at a 48% charge. I was surprised it was an AGM battery. It's always cranked up without a problem. I picked up a NOCO Genius 10 and I'll charged it up. And I'll start driving the truck more often. Maybe that was the problem all along. All...

I stopped by an AutoZone yesterday and had the battery checked out. It was good with a 48% charge. Since I rarely drive the truck, and with information here, I thought I'd start by trying to charge the battery. I expected the battery to be a lead acid battery, but found it to be a AGM. I...

Thanks Node. I appreciate the advice. I'm not a truck jockey...so I have to be careful. One small step at a time. I've seen lots of ideas, I just need to figure out the best way.

That's an awesome response. I really do appreciate the info. I never had any problem with the truck...so I read stuff here, but never had any input...until I started seeing the low battery screen when I started the truck. Best truck I ever owned. I still learn a lot from the folks here...

Very good video. I thought my battery was dying, but I really don't drive the truck very much. It's a 2019 with 14,000 miles. Maybe, instead of a new battery, I just need to take it outside the garage every once in a while. Any thoughts?

When you used the OBD-2 adaptor, did you attach it to a separate 12 volt battery, or a 12 volt power constant source? I've seen cables and attachments for both. And I've seen where individuals attached a power source to the battery terminals while exchanging batteries eliminating the OBD port.
