I ran a body shop for a number of years and can honestly say this is all due to the plastic bed liner :mad: Just like mentioned above, moisture, some abrasive material, add the box liner that sits there wiggling back and forth. I've seen it on hundreds of trucks - every make. Pulled lots out and...

My SXM subscription is good on 3 devices. I just input the serial # code into my Ranger and it is now on my truck.

I had the factory tires swapped for Toyo AT2's before I took delivery back in 2020. I now have 90,000KM on them and will be replacing in the next 2 months before winter with Toyo AT3's. I've had really good performance with the Toyo's, good mileage, they are good for winter and snow rated...

We had a new F150 come into the dealership in the mid 90's - was still the square body. Customer didn't buy from us, but had a maddening rattle noise over bumps and washboard. Other shops couldn't figure it out. Truck on hoist and tapping on stuff with a rubber mallet - found a bad rattle...

I rotate my tires every 10,000kms with the oil change religiously. (Front tires go straight back to the rear, rear tires crisscross to front) I have never had to program anything and they always read correct. Had 1 tire show low pressure last winter, checked that tire and sure enough it was...

I'm in Canada. Our small cabin trailer has full replacement cost coverage included as an add-on with my truck package policy, both full coverage for $350.00 per year. Annual license and registration for the camper is around $300.00 In my province we have Gov't insurance.

That is a Camber issue. Truck needs a proper alignment done, and you may need new UCA's to correct it with the levelling kit installed.

I change my oil with fully Synthetic every 10,000 KMs (6k Miles) with the WIX XP filter.

I had this issue and found the gel type insulation in the plug itself was deteriorating and coming out, this was actually allowing the back of the terminals to contact each other and cause the faults. Dealer installed a new trailer plug under warranty - no more problem.

2020 Lariat Super Crew 4x4 2.5" lift and running 32" tires. 61000 kms ( 38000Miles) Truck is hauling something most of the time, from Camper, Kayaks, bikes, Sled trailer.... Life average Fuel Consumption: 11.9 L/ 100km 23.7 Imp MGG 19.7 US MPG

My 20' Lariat came with 18's and the Low Pro Hankook tires. That was just the way it came with the packages I ordered. We promptly swapped them out for the Magnetic 17" Rims and I have Toyo Open Country II AW P265/70R17 tires on it. My truck is a 4x4 and gets used as such a lot, the 17" are...

I have a swing out tool box mounted on the passenger side rear. I have had my small chain saw in it. Currently holds small air compressor, shovel, flare kit, gloves, flashlight and some tools, tow rope, ratchet straps, etc. Basically its my Road safety kit. No holes to drill as it mounts to...

What your calling "globbed on paint" is actually a spray rocker coat under the paint. It's designed that way, it's a thick rocker protection coat that does just that = protects the rocker panels from road debris. That coating is paintable, therefor it is sprayed body color. My 20' Lariat is...

How cold was it? I have had 2 intake manifolds crack due to ice buildup inside, there is a service bulletin for an update manifold and PCV plumbing. When the problem first started, it would go into limp mode with all the warnings as you stated, no power, harsh shifts, etc... Found if I let is...

This is the way the entire industry is going. I work in heavy trucks and equipment. Most makes provide 2 years free Sat Com. After that you pay if you want it. Semi & Equipment manufactures can do over the air programming updates so the units don’t have to get taken to the dealer. That doesn’t...

That light is for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Euro and Australia have Diesel Rangers.

I had my truck protected with 3-M Clear Wrap when I got it. All 4 door sills have the heavy duty 3-M Clear wrap on them, it covers them completely from pillar to pillar. I found it provided the best coverage as everything else left a gap on the ends. No picture to share as its clear :LOL:

Phil, you are correct - Rail line ends at Thompson. GM also has their Cold Test center up there. Working in the cold is one thing, you can dress and plan for that, the crazy wind is what's really dangerous. -40C with a 50km wind suddenly makes it like -63C :eek: Thats when I don't work...

Ford has their North American Cold Climate testing facility in Thompson Manitoba. Our temps have been down to -45C already this winter (and that's not including the wind chill).
