Appointment done. My Ranger tested OK. Took about 1 hour at the service department this morning.

Got the 2nd letter in the mail today stating parts are available and to "call the dealer without delay." Called the dealer service department and asked how long it would take. They told me they do not have parts in stock. Rather, they do the check procedure, and if the new connector parts are...

I had the TSB applied to mine with less than 1,000 miles on it back in April. It helped a little bit, but still had an awful low speed shutter effect. Seemed to be lugging a bit because it was probably in too high of a gear. I had intended to take it to the dealer while on some holiday down...

So, today I took the 2nd key fob with the originally installed battery from the factory. Same result, it would not lock the doors or sound the horn. But, I was able to get into the Ranger and start it. It seems as though the "no key detected" message occurs after being away for an hour or...

I'm zeroing in on the issue. I was out running errands today. So, I first bought and installed a new battery for the fob, then stopped by the church. There was not another vehicle in the lot. My key fob would not work. I could not even get the doors to lock, and previously I had. When I...

No, I have not tried any further diagnosis. I just now have figured out it is this one location. I was checking with others on this forum to see if this was a "one-off" for me, or if others were experiencing the issue. By the low response count, I'm assuming it's a "one-off". Next steps are to...

At a certain location, every time I leave the Ranger, and using the key fob, the doors do not lock and the horn does not sound. It works every other time except this one location. it happened again yesterday, I was able to lock the Ranger by opening and closing the driver side door, then...

Here's the photos of the Leer HF350M. I also added a little bling with the metallic blue vinyl tailgate and front grille letters. I just washed it and waxed it with the Meguirs Hybrid Ceramic wax. This is the 3rd coat since I bought it in March.

We had similar big plastic chunks for toll tags here in the Dallas area years ago. They have since been upgraded to a flat adhesive decal. Most people place them on the windshield behind the rear view mirror. If you get it right, you never see it in your driving view. The transponder is a...

Dang it, I should have waited. I just got my installed last night through a local dealer. I thought I got a great deal at $1000 (including installation). Not bad considering I could have ordered it and received the $100 discount, with total being $969, then having to install it myself. But 2...

OK, you guys convinced me, I ordered the HF350M. I'm getting it installed through a local dealer and should have it on Saturday. Got a good price through the dealer, and I don't have to mess with the installation. I looked at several different options, and this is the best option for me. I...

Thanks for the reply. Oh, I forgot to mention that I do not plan to continue the 1,000 mile oil changes. I do believe in getting the factory oil out around 1,000 miles to flush out any metal particles floating around from the break in period. I admit it may be overkill, it’s it’s just a one...

First off, I'm really confused with modern oil specifications and appreciate your help. A lot has changed since my first vehicle (62 Chevy short bed) (yep I'm an old fart).:crackup: I did my first oil change on the Ranger at the dealership at around 1,000 miles on it, and had them fill it with...

Yeah, I was really just venting. I love my Ranger. I’ve had it a little over 2 months and about 2,000 miles. No issues other than some very minor stuff such no washer fluid, and cutting corners on PDI, and the transmission shudder TSB. I went through months of pre-order wait, ROVP promises to...

Yeah. Looks like Ford said "the heck with ROVP", and Ford Dealers said "the heck with PDI". :LOL:

For me, it boils down to three things: 1. I like the looks of the Ranger better than the competition: I think the Tacos are flat out ugly to me, the driver position of the Taco is like staring at the hood I really dislike the rake and interior of the GMC Canyon or Chevy Colorado 2. I believe...

Mine had 42 psi in the tires when the dealer delivered it to me. I would not drive off the lot until they adjusted the tire pressure to the 35 psi indicated on the door placard. And, I failed to check the windshield wiper fluid before I drove off (never thought I would need to). When I did my...

I have about 1100 miles on mine so far. I've averaged 22.1 MPG on 87 octane, mostly city driving in the Dallas area. No issues, and I did have the TSB applied for the rough shifting transmission. I think it did help a little, but the service writer at the dealership says his F-150 with the 10...

Back on April 10 when I read the posts here about the 42,000 points for purchasing a new Ford, I called and asked about my points. I got the run around that it started in April and I purchased in March, so I would get nothing. I told the rep that I was an unsatisfied customer, so she escalated...

I'm not really into a lot of detailing prep, especially on a new vehicle. I do however like to keep a good coat of wax on all my vehicles, probably 2-3 times per year. While I was sitting at the dealer yesterday waiting for my first oil change to be done at 975 miles, I was on the internet...
