  1. I’m coming back to the Ranger club!

    One thing to keep in mind, since the left leaning, battery unconscious pundits won't... The more stored energy you put into a chemical mixture, the more explosive it becomes! One very good example, is the Challenger accident. Least we forget!
  2. Recent trade in values for Ranger?

    If you're an electric vehicle fan, you can buy and F150 Lightning for less than just about any other F150. The local dealer has several in stock, including an XLT with the 2022 (?) package, for $58,000.
  3. Letter From Lawyers

    We should ask John Cadogan what he thinks! Nonetheless, it is just another case of ambulance chasing—the lowest form of an attorney (if you could call one that!).
  4. Mishimoto/PPE trans pan comparison

    The unanswered questions: How much better does the tranny shift and/or how much cooler does it run, just because you changed the pan? Ford tends to be rather forgiving about after-market items installed on their vehicles, due in part, to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. But there is a limit...
  5. 19-23 Ranger In-Console Phone Docking System [New Release]

    Hummmm. Where do I put my breath mints, gate card, etc.?
  6. Average life of the stock battery?

    My Ranger is a 2019, and it is still on the original battery. I do garage mine year round, which I'm sure has an effect on life.
  7. With an engine cover really prevent water in the spark plugs?

    When you see some guy, cleaning his engine at the local car wash with a high-pressure sprayer, you've got to ask yourself.....
  8. My research into the 10R80 shift strategy

    Reading this thread, one would think the 10R80 was the worst performing transmission ever! And, that every owner has issues with it! The truth lies elsewhere.
  9. Belt Tensioner SNAPPED OFF

    You can look up recalls, advisories, and other maintenance item on line. Even Google lists them.
  10. Belt Tensioner SNAPPED OFF

    If my memory is correct, there was a recall on this, or at least an advisory.
  11. MAP on strike and two others;

    If you really want to know what is at stake, read the union's demands. Then read the response from the big three. Very enlightening to say the least.
  12. 2023 Ranger broken steering gear and differential blown

    I too wonder about the scan charge. I get one of those each time I get an oil change, and as I recall, it's only $10. The dealer is looking for work, but uses the scan like it was preventive maintenance. The same dealer has two Bronco Raptors marked up by $25,000 over MSLP. I though Ford was...
  13. 2023 Ranger broken steering gear and differential blown

    Well, from the data (mud?) here, I suspect the dealer is trying to replace Ford's "Job One" with their own. At least give the dealer a thumbs up!
  14. Rear Rotors Warping Due to Parking Brake Applied on Hot Rotors/Pads?

    Any vehicle with disc brakes, driven in a dusty environ, will have a good potential for uneven shoe wear. This is caused by dust getting into the pins (bolts really) which hinders the calipers' floating action (centering). It is best to check the calipers when rotating tires.
  15. Ford Performance Tune (M-9603-REB)

    The versions are different in that not all models have the same standard equipment. The basic tune is perhaps the same, but even if it isn't, the end result is essentially identical.
  16. travel trailer - non towing insurance question

    State Farm does cover trailers through the towing vehicles coverage, but only up to a certain weight/length.
  17. WHO THE HELL KNEW???

    I know of four charging stations in Roswell, NM. If you do a Google search, only one comes up. And.... Just yesterday, I checked the one near down town. It was, as its name implies, Down and out! Kaput! Ersatz! Joke indeed.
  18. P2196 after Seafoam valve clean

    Inexpensive code reader/erasers won't clear a number of codes related to anti pollution devices. This said, starting about $160, most of the R/E code scanners can. The one I bought on Amazon was about $400. It isn't a $4,000 Snap-On unit, but it will clear P2XXX and P3XXX codes. It will also...
