  1. There comes a time when you have to shoot the Engineer and start Production

    Phil, it's been an absolute pleasure reading your posts these last few years. Thank you, and God speed sir.
  2. Sync 3 v3.4.23188

    Hit or miss, yup! I've really never had a problem with my 2019 Ranger. This time, the USB update never finished, after 1 1/2 hours - I gave up! I tried downloading/new USB and the truck wouldn't recognize it. So, from reading here, I went to Cyanlabs and made a new USB I pluged it in, and...
  3. How about some Jokes [Admin: No Covid or Politics!]

    Well shit, It's probably just me, but I don't see any humor in any of these last few posts. They're interesting, but shouldn't they be in another thread or something?
  4. Veterans only thread.

    Welcome to the thread, sir. I'm an 'ol timer, also. USN '63-69. USB(N) George Washington
  5. Don't buy RainX Silicone Eundura Blades

    Bosch. Yup, me too. I'm not sure they really last as long as others, but they really keep my windshield streak clear for many months (I don't know about years). I generally replace wipers every year. Probably a waste of money, but I don't care. I want the wipers perfect when I need them. I...
  6. A neat find today

    Frenchy said: "Well if you are wanting to buy it I will sell it to you for $1000 just for the little bit of attitude you want to show(don't worry, I'm not trying to sell it anyway)." Sorry, I didn't intend an 'attitude'. I did say it was 'cool' :) I do own a couple of generators; a big...
  7. A neat find today

    Heh, OK, "A neat find". A small generator, handy for small loads (like power tools on the back 40, etc). Cool. How about the rest of the story? How much? Does it run?
  8. Ford Tie Down Hook -Talk about price gouging....

    OK, hand raised, I use them all the time. I have a strap across the middle two tie downs that hold many daily loads toward the tailgate. The boxes, etc.. can't shift forward. To me, they're very convenient.
  9. Should I be concerned about this frame rust?

    Yup, wire brush it as best you can, and get a spray can of fluid film to touch up those areas periodically. That's what I do on my 2019, and it looks new. Just my $.02.
  10. Hitch mount cargo carrier

    I got my aluminum one at Harbor Freight, many years ago at a reasonable price. Just big enough for a cooler or so (not the 4-wheeler ATV size). It's served well. (I TRY not to block the Lic Plate, but no problems over the years with the law)
  11. I'm a Premium Convert

    Yea, I sort of do the same. After reading many threads here on the subject, I tried 93 vs. 87 (no 91 around me), even though it cost A LOT more! And I have NO aftermarket tune, just factory. The truck loved it. Quite a bit more 'peppy', and milage/gal went up (not enough to offset added cost...
  12. SYNC update

    Good point. But, I do like to do what I can, to keep my $40,000 truck up to date. It's just that they don't make it easy. :confused:
  13. SYNC update

    Yes, also thanks for the info. It's good to hear that the Ford website's version vs. my truck's version shouldn't be a concern right now. Hopefully, SOMEDAY, Ford will figure out how to do all this update stuff, without confusing us costumers. Thanks again.
  14. SYNC update

    Well, I read this thread, and you guys made me look! I found the same as Radioman; Truck says 3.4.22251, Website says 3.4.23088. (AND the site doesn't give me any way to download 23088 to a USB, to update truck manually) So, I'm adopting the attitude of others - if it ain't broke... worry about...
  15. How about some Jokes [Admin: No Covid or Politics!]

    Yup. Around here, folks bring their folding chairs to the salt water boat ramps. Great entertainment!
  16. Blackstone lab report received today

    Yup. I have a 2019 Lariat: read the posts, got concerned about it, sent 6 samples to Blackstone Labs over 3 years, they say a little gas in the oil, and today everything's fine so far. Drive it. Worry about something else.
  17. No AM radio

    So, if you want to know what the hell is going on, instead of governt perferred means, you're going with XM? OK. Not me. (and I do recognize Smith&Wessen, although I prefer Colt)
  18. No AM radio

    Yea, yea, AM is obsolete. NOBODY listens to it anymore, except a few dinosaurs. Got it. But, I'll miss it because listening to the morning news on my commute, without all the OPINION on other sources, was refreshing. Just another thing lost to PROGRESS. eh? I think it's a shame.
  19. If CB was still a thing

    I've had a CB in my vehicle for 30 years. I can't tell ya'll how many times it's saved me from traffic jams, and radar traps. I'd love to install it in my Ranger, but, after 3 years, I still can't figure out where I'd put it in that small console area. ?
  20. TPMS inaccuracy

    I've got a pretty good 0-60 tire pressure gauge, and the truck's TPM is generally about the same. I will say, especially this time of year, ambient temperature swings can cause my tire pressure to vary by 5 degrees morning to night. Yea, I take the TPMS with a grain of salt, but it's good enough...
