If you are going to put in a real dipstick, the MBS Dipstick ("FitzStick") is the only real option, IMO. I think you will get frustrated with the B&M one since it doesn't have level markings on it.

And people wonder why cops are not trusted..... This is just over the top. Glad I don't live in that town. We only have flock cameras at the local home depot - they just got installed. I'm trying hard not to patronize them.....

I think it is time to do another fluid change - and add lubeguard platinum.... The fact that it only does it when cold to me is a key symptom. If it were the transmission going bad, or even the adaptive tables needing reset I would expect it would be consistent whether warm or cold - but that...

It is kind of a known issue that shifts can be harsh/clunky until it warms up. I usually let mine warm up until the fan quiets down and then drive it easy for a bit. Once warmed up, it shifts fine.

On the bright side, if they rebadged the Ranger an F-100, maybe they would pay more attention to it since it would be part of the "F Series" trucks......

Considering they got the date of the "latest iteration of the Ranger" wrong (2022), I'm not sure I'd give that article too much weight. I have heard rumors of a Bronco pickup (kind of like the Gladiator), which might be what they are referring to, but it seems kind of stupid honestly. IMO the...

When I had mine out while diagnosing a wiring issue (mouse damage), I was surprised to see the gasket isn't really a gasket - it is a rubber tube that compresses when the mounting screws are tightened down. I always wondered why it didn't leak when I'd get needles in there - now it makes sense...

I think the easiest/best way to check fluid levels is the method that @TJC has documented. It only really works if you have the FitzStick (MBS dipstick), but it is pretty easy and foolproof...

I hate to tell you this but they are already here: https://www.flocksafety.com/products/flock-dfr

Personally, I would opt for C - If you love the truck, it makes the most sense. It may or may not happen, but the fact you are seeing delayed shifts in 4th is kind of a sign that something is wrong - but this is how I think of it - if I were to replace this truck, I'm going to be spending a few...

I used to work for a bank, and while I didn't work in a branch, we still had to take yearly money laundering "training". Federal regulations change, but there are definitely very specific rules and regulations around "unusual" cash transactions in order to help prevent money laundering. I...

This was my thought as well. Easy to check.

I appreciate that.....

If you had, that would have been an easy fix. Hopefully you get it sorted quickly. Having just gone thru wiring issues myself (mouse and water intrusion), I know how frustrating it can be.

My favorite line was "Don't worry, its organic!"

This is one I will be watching - it sounds very interesting. Looks like they will be revealing what it looks like in Q4 (in the next few months).

Did you change the plugs recently? The last coil pack is hard to get back on correctly and will throw a misfire code. The bucking could certainly be the DPFE sensor. I sometimes get strange shifts at light throttle (especially 8th gear). It is not consistent but it is always on very light...

Electrical stuff has always been a challenge for me. I can do basics, but I know enough to be really dangerous - especially on modern vehicles. Older stuff I can do a lot more on. I've heard about power probes - I should look into one.

That is too funny - I don't even remember that! I'm not going to worry about that one. It came back after I cleared all the DTCs after I got all the wiring patched back together. I think my fix turned out pretty good - if you didn't know, you'd think nothing ever happened: I reset that one...
