On my way home last night I stopped to help a guy who got his car stuck halfway in a ditch. Nothing too exciting, but now I need to get some new flares for my emergency kit and I've got a couple questions: 1) How frequently should traditional flares be replaced? I realized that my flares were...

On my way in to work this morning, I briefly shared the road with a pickup in heavy camo. Sorry, but I wasn't able to grab any pictures. It had Texas manufacturer's tags. Overall shape, especially the front end, had really strong Toyota vibes. Speaking of the front end, the camo was clearly...

Our family hauler is a Kia Sorento. About a year ago, the ABS, traction control, and hill assist lights all lit up. I had the guys at the auto parts store pull the code: wheel speed sensor failure on the rear right side. The sensor is integrated with the hub assembly, so I replaced the whole hub...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to see if I can figure out any pattern among the folks reporting fuel dilution. I know that multiple threads already exist on this issue, but I want to drill down to the data. To that end, I've created an off-site survey. It's a bit long (25 questions), but gets at a...

Wondering if anybody here knows enough about the older Rangers to answer this. Getting ready to upgrade from my 2003 (XL, with the 2.3L 4cyl and manual 5-speed) and trying to resolve an issue before selling it. I've got an intermittent startup issue that other forums suggest could be caused by a...

Awhile back someone posted a link to a volume dealer in Charlotte that lists some pretty good deals, which I bookmarked for future reference. Just checked there and found this: https://capitalfordcharlotte.com/vehicles/2019-ford-ranger-xl-19fr3119-1fter1eh6kla63119 At time of this posting...

The Ranger is making its mark on the segment. This from GM Authority: Chevrolet Colorado Sales Down 23 Percent In Q2 2019 A couple of quotes that stood out to me: "We believe that the Colorado’s precipitous drop is caused by two factors. First is the new Ford Ranger, which seems to be putting a...
