  1. 2019 Ranger display screen replacement question

    I bet it's being twisted when it's torqued down. After that many screens, and the failure type you are having, I'd look at an uneven surface it's being mounted to.
  2. My Battery Story

    If you look at his printout you can see they used a conductance type tester, not a carbon pile load tester. https://www.autometer.com/bva-360;-hand-held-battery--electrical-system-tester.html?srsltid=AfmBOooLfevzpe5IRwfGCKbH6sgjK-fLSJTCxEgfWANcE3DT6Q-nmrhb
  3. My Battery Story

    When you use a conductance tester you are supposed to put the clamps right on the lead terminals of the battery, not the steel cable clamps. It makes a difference.
  4. My warranty is about up. To extend or not-extend? What did AI think?

    I was lucky that the transmission and the heater box both failed under warranty so I didn't sign up for an extension. If they hadn't.....I still wouldn't since I do my own repairs. But YMMV (your monkey may vibrate).
  5. Latest Blackstone Labs Oil Analysis (Fuel Percentage)

    2.3% at 6,000 miles would not concern me.
  6. Does anyone know what this disconnected tube dangling off the bottom of my engine is?

    Small claims court seems to be a good option at this point.
  7. Does anyone know what this disconnected tube dangling off the bottom of my engine is?

    Boy do I wish I had this truck in my shop. This set of codes looks very interesting. I have Forscan but I never really use it, all my troubleshooting is done with IDS/FDRS. If I had it in my shop, I would erase the codes (after noting them) and do a key-off-engine-off test. Hopefully Forscan has...
  8. Does anyone know what this disconnected tube dangling off the bottom of my engine is?

    With those codes I would be running the harness visually and by feel everywhere that engine R+R would require disconnecting or mving aside a harness. Don't forget the bellhousing area, that's a favorite place for a butcher to sandwich wires on installation.
  9. 19’ overheating sometimes

    Once a year I take the shield off the top of the radiator and clean the leaves and junk between the condensor and the radiator. I use a shop vac with a length of skinny (5/8"?) tubing duct taped to the hose to suck out all the crap in there. If you look in the front of the grill it will look...
  10. Long term fuel trim out of wack.

    If you look in the service manual under 'Reference Values', the normal LTFT is a whopping -20 to +20%. STFT are -10 to +10%. What is the symptom they are trying to fix? Is it poor mileage? If the truck is NOT throwing a check engine light, what is the chief complaint?
  11. Long term fuel trim out of wack.

    Do you have repair orders you could attach?
  12. Transfer case service

    The drain plugs for the trucks in NA have one-time-use crush washers. No sealer is used. My wife's Escape uses sealer on the PTU (basically a transfer case) so maybe Australia uses the same set up?
  13. Long term fuel trim out of wack.

    Well he says he is getting a CEL. Now there are no codes? Are there no codes because they were erased?
  14. Long term fuel trim out of wack.

    What is the actual P-code it is throwing?
  15. Dropped screw into turbo 😱

    You don't have an aluminum magnet?
  16. Rotors

    If you want to do it right, yes. You're living in the rust belt, just like me. Those rotors are going to be shot.
  17. Lower Control Arms - are the ball joints really not replaceable?

    It looks like the Tremor has removeable LBJ's but the other 4X4's don't, the whole control arm has to be replaced.
  18. Lower Control Arms - are the ball joints really not replaceable?

    Alldata says they are serviceable without replacing the arm. I'm not at work so I can't look at the factory manual.
  19. Plug removal

    Or turn a $60 job into a $2,000 job.
