Motorcraft XG1E1 Grease is what the workshop manual specifies, under ESA-M1C75-B. I'd use a moly grease of a decent quality.

You can rent access to the Ford maintenance portal, which has the manuals. I bought the access and extracted what I thought I might need. Here's the link for anyone wondering: https://www.fordserviceinfo.com/

Here's an extract from the workshop manual, I hope this helps

Any codes? There were some issues with the MAP sensor I think, and potentially the fuel rail pressure sensor

Performance shocks sacrifice durability for performance. That's the reason the Fox shocks are rebuildable not disposable.

Both the original 2.0L and 2.3L EcoBoost engines are derived from the Mazda L engine, however the two do not share a block, the 2.0 is semi closed deck and the 2.3 is open. The 2.3 also has a taller deck height (the top of the block is further away from the centre of the crank). Ford has...

Just checking out the Transit forums, it could be the injectors. If you're still in warranty get the dealership to do further diagnosis.

I'm sure I read about similar issues in 2019 Raptors and biturbo Rangers in Australia, but I can't find anything in the groups I'm in. I think it was the MAP sensor. Is that screen grab all the codes you have?

Redarc make good stuff, expensive, but very high quality. I use their chargers, relays etc on vehicles at work and have had no issues (even on the custom programmed stuff). As for the wiring, run your own power cable to the trailer. Don't rely on the extra pin in the plug, the gauge of wire...

Just don't turn your EcoBoost into an EcoBoom

Pic for detail. The 10R family have a slightly usual oil pump drive, but these are the gears that make the noise. The failures were seen with the 10R80 and 2L four cylinder diesel, Ford changed to a billet gearset in 2020 to address this. No idea if that change was specific to RoW Ranger, or all...

How far did it move? Remember that park is engaging a pawl against a gear. There is lash that allows the output shaft to rotate a little, combine this with the rest of the driveline lash, suspension torque-up etc and you can get perhaps 3-4 inches of movement in park. Edit, sorry, didn't...

They're straight cut gears, so they rattle a bit (depending on the engine of course) at idle, and whine when the RPM is up. The rattle actually led to them failing in the diesel engined Rangers we have here in Aus, Ford had to go to a more durable material to stop the teeth shearing off.

The 10R family oil pump gearing does make a lot of noise, so that's likely the source. The plastic pan doesn't deaden the internal noise like an aluminium pan would either.

The 10 speed was not used here in this joint venture Ranger because it is not manufactured in China. Therefore its importation would attract large duties, the ZF transmission however is manufactured in China and is free from duties. There is no other reason. This is not a Ford, this is a JMC...

Correct, it's a case of being able to source a Chinese made transmission and not a US made transmission. FYI it's built by a different Chinese company, Changan only do the cars. JMC do the larger stuff under licence. People calling this a Ford when it's as much a Ranger as the JMC Landwind was...

The Chinese love the Germans because the Germans like to make a quick buck and let the Chinese build (read steal) their stuff locally. ZF builds a bucket load of transmissions in China, MTU builds engines there, these are all 'Joint Venture' setups (just like the baby 2.8 Cummins). Local...

Its a Joint Venture vehicle, take anything that flog Paul Maric writes with a grain of salt (emphasising the German part of the ZF 8HP, despite it being Chinese made). The ZF 8HP is built in China, so are the two engines that they are using, that's why it has it. The 10R family is only built in...

Another thing that came to mind, no idea if your US market Rangers have the same front differential as ours do, but check the Ford factory fill volume on the front differential. Ours are only 800ml, not the full 1200ml of oil. If you fill it full, it throws oil out of the breather and makes a...

Instead of a one piece, you could get a two piece made with four UJs, like in a lot of trucks. This would allow for correct phasing. Or do what Ford did in my Raptor from factory, two UJs (one at each end) and a CV joint in the middle between the two halves, this allows the end UJs to be...
