  1. Tire pressure

    great point Phil. Pressure gauges can vary quite a bit. Although giving a rougher ride, a couple lbs overinflated is better than being underinflated. Too much sidewall flex can lead to a zipper rupture.
  2. Delivery times from factory.

    I know you're anxious, but give the dealer a chance to do a proper prep. I worked in dealerships for over 30 years. Ford & GM both. One example. Sold F150 came off hauler & sales called customer right away, Then brought back work order for prep & clean. I raised it on my hoist & started my...
  3. Delivery times from factory.

    Damn DannyL. Hard to believe that our trucks were built on the same day. I know I'm a lot closer than you to the assembly plant but still. Probably tired of hearing this, but it will make it someday. Once it shows up it will be the best truck ever.
  4. What a difference.

    I got my trailer brake installed yesterday. Used a Tekonsha Primus IQ controller. Managed to break 2 mounting clips removing panels searching for controller wires Damn near got stuck under dash trying to hook up harness. what a job. My old butt isn't used to doing this kind of work anymore. So...

    Bringing home the new Xl, stx, fx2, super cab Ranger Saturday. From what I hear, I didn't buy a Ranger, I bought a Lightning.

    Went from 29 days to 3. Per the website my Ranger is at the dealership. With a little luck I'll get to see it tomorrow.

    Right on DannyL. Mine was also built today. HooHaa. I think FoMoCo is trying to give me a heart attack though. Shiped to Maumee Ohio in 29 days? Hell , I could jump on my Silverwing & be at the assembly plant in an hour and half.
  10. Must watch shows and movies

    Must see movie if you can find it is Gone in 60 seconds. The original, not the Nicolas Cage remake.

    I know how you feel. Ordered my XL supercab 2-17-20. Original BD of 4-20-20. Now, only God knows.
  15. Engine Sound

    The first 3 to 5 yrs on the 4.0 sohc was a nightmare. Once Ford got the bugs worked out, it was pretty dependable. Own one myself, nice & quiet. Runs like a top. But, mine is in my 2011 Ranger.
  16. Engine Sound

    Just remember guys, there,s about a gazillion things going on under the hood all the time. I worked on Fords for over 20 yrs. Believe me, whenever a customer bought something new that different technology than they were used to, it took a while for them to understand it. the 4.9 inline 6 was...
  17. Collected 2020 changes/removed/additions

    My salesman told me the same thing. Had to get the FX2 package to get locking diff. Went & ordered the FX2 so i could get a more aggresive tire also.
  18. Current Rebates and Incentives help.

    Don't know if anybody is getting their trucks any time soon. The bd for mine is 4/20. Haven't seen where the assembly plant is open yet.

    Our daughter is supposed to graduate from Vanderbilt university May 8th. I hope this can still happen. Don"t sound to good though.
  20. How about some Jokes [Admin: No Politics, Religion, Nudity, Explicit Posts]

    I can remember everything on the list. We had milk delivery & you had to remember to bring it in off the porch in the winter. Frozen milk bottles were a big mess. One quickie, what did the lesbian frog say to the other one? I guess we do taste like chicken.
