  1. Recent trade in values for Ranger?

    Keep in mind that the offer they give you for a trade-in is given in the context of the whole deal, including the purchase price of the new vehicle and the financing/lease terms. So for example they might give you $1k off the purchase price as compared to the last guy they sold one to, but then...
  2. Damper Giveaway

    Pencil tray FTW!!!
  3. Red Line Goods

    They're in Poland, so it does make it a bit hard to go to an American junk yard. Also, if you're the one who provides the template, you get the piece for free.
  4. 62k Miles, Turbo needs replacing

    Profit margins on new vehicles are quite small. Profit margins on service contracts, extended warranties, etc., are very high. By the time they get to the point of telling you the vehicle is crap and the extended warranty is a must-have, you're already emotionally committed enough to buying...
  5. Free tool with truck

    Had a fuel pump fail on a prior vehicle right after I moved to a new town. Being new to the town and not knowing any of the shops, I had it towed to a shop I had seen pretty close to our house. Shop turned out to be a pain to work with and the quote for the fuel pump replacement as relayed to me...
  6. Fuel in oil

    How do I do the reset? When I was trying to figure this out for my XL, I had seen somewhere that the 94 is sort of compatible...to get it to physically fit there was a part that needed switched out; I don't recall exactly what but I think it may have been the battery tray?
  7. Fuel in oil

    Could be reasonable, depending on how you use the truck. Could you post the UOA?
  8. Fuel in oil

    So what is the problem? It looks to me like your truck is working within the parameters that Ford is saying are normal.
  9. Fuel in oil

    And the rest of the table?
  10. Fuel in oil

    What does your manual say about how often (in terms of miles and/or time) to change your oil?
  11. Bible Museum

    I second the "way cool" descriptor.
  12. Bible Museum

    Could you enlarge our Ranger5g virtual museum by posting pics?
  13. Fuel in oil

    In that case, I'm glad to hear that people stop having fuel find its way into their oil after 1000 miles.
  14. Fuel in oil

    How long is the break in period?
  15. How Much Can You ACTUALLY Tow?

    I've rented from UHaul several times without issue. Their online system is familiar with the current Ranger and knows it can handle it. I'd guess that the guy you called thought you had an older Ranger and figured there was no way it could handle towing the 7.5k you were claiming.
  16. Taking to shop for MPG issues; what to check?

    As documented in various threads on the matter, dealers are plenty willing to brush off Blackstone reports.
  17. Taking to shop for MPG issues; what to check?

    Fuel in oil is generally a problem for people with short drives, but you've specified that you're a highway driver. Have them check HPFP and injectors.
  18. Taking to shop for MPG issues; what to check?

    I'm guessing they're having the OP bring it in so they can try things like new filters, nitrogen tires, etc, which they know won't fix the "problem" but which OP will be footing the bill for and making it worth their while.
  19. Brake Pads

    Wearing out brakes requires stopping, and given how quickly you rack up the miles I'm not sure that stopping is something you do a whole lot. ;)
