Very interesting. The JXB Performance web site does not show a listing for the Ranger.
Also, it looks like a carrier bearing mount (new rubber) and not a actual bearing.
That said my 2017 XLT has a little drive shaft vibration and I believe it is the rubber in the carrier bearing.

Interesting write up Kimball. Looks like I'll be crawling under my 2019 Magnetic XLT with clicker torque wrench in hand even though there is no hint of any vibration.
Thought here is that if said bolts are too loose the axle assy could rotate under load/acceleration (pinion climb), this could...
While driving my 2019 XLT from NY to TX I stopped in a parking lot to use my cell phone and another Ranger pulled up alongside to ask if I needed help!
Now that was cool.

I love the way my 2019 2WD XLT Ext Cab rides but could not help looking into shock part numbers for kicks.
No info yet on 2021 dealer parts page but did find different part numbers for my 2019 2WD standard susp, 2WD special susp, 4WD std susp, 4WD special susp...now I need a coffee break!
610 CCA in the XL and XLT (BAGM-48H6-610, 278mm X 175mm X 190mm)
800 CCA in the Lariat (BAGM-94RH7-800, 315mm X 175mm X 190mm)
Dealer parts page shows replacement battery across all models as 800 CCA
I'd like to update my 610 CCA battery when it's time to the 800 CCA.

Looking into dealer parts pages it looks like all replacement batteries across XL, XLT and the Lariat are now the larger 800 CCA battery.
So with this larger battery (800 CCA) would the time that the auto start/stop spends on "vehicle charging" be reduced? For those limited amount of Ranger...
Regarding the auto start/stop, I like it as most driving is in heavy traffic.
That said I noticed that there are at least 3 different battery part numbers;
BAGM-48H6-610 factory on my 2019 XLT
BAGM-48H6-760 looks like a replacement part number
BAGM-94RH7-800 factory on the Lariat (37 mm longer)...
Note that I pulled the vent hose that is attached to the air intake behind the air filter and ran a cotton swab around the inside, no trace of oil at all.
