I had a Mishimoto can and the hoses rotted away from gas fumes within a year. They did offer to replace them but it was such a PITA to access them i just returned it to stock. I would advise you look into something with fuel rated lines.

Yes sir. It happened to me twice, basically rebooted the computer on wheels that passes for a truck, everything came back like it should be, and now I've sold it. Sorry I can't be more help.

I can come by and bring an old GMC for hauling stuff to the dump. No need for you guys with the nice trucks to get em dirty😁😁😁😎😎😎

Stealing this line!🤣🤣 They use stuff wayyy worse than just salt, they spray a brine solution not unlike what you get after taking all the pickles out of the jar, adding what only God and Greta know for sure to it, and then spray the resulting concoction on the roads. It creeps into every nook...

Good luck hope they work out. Mine fell off in the cold, maybe some desert heat is all they need😎

That's exactly what I thought. "I just bought this damn bouncy truck!! Do I really need aftermarket shocks?!?!?!". Based on the cheap parts Ford has been using of late, the answer is a resounding yes. I put some Eibach on the rear and it made a world of difference. Fronts were upcoming, but I...

I have an OBD EX listed in the R5G classifieds, somewhere LOL:) It worked exactly as advertised and I had no issues with it. If you are interested, I am what you might call a motivated seller, since I don't have the truck anymore.

Stay off the 401 Duke, it screws ya every time 😂😂😂

I found some like that at Costco or wherever and they were okay, even had a little remote. But the sticky, well, it didn't. A couple weeks went by and soon they were all lying on the bed of the truck. I ended up getting the Ford accessory bedlights and they were fantastic. Auto shutoff, one...

This, all day long.

A few more dump runs should take care of that unburned fuel issue you might be experiencing.

thanks for the link. got one on the way tomorrow. looks very easy to install and looking forward to a warm truck in the mornings now!

yeah it quiets down after a minute or two. I fixed the noise by selling my Ranger and buying a GMC with a V8 that just makes a valve lifter ticking noise on startup. It's always something...

Lots of back and forth here, so why not add my $0.02? First, OP: your mechanic is an untrustworthy idiot. Find a new one if you can. What else does he think is okay to ignore? When properly applied and used, the pawl is plenty strong enough to hold the truck, and I am sure it has been...

The place I sold my Ranger to, they didn't even move it from where I parked when I pulled into the place. I watched them from the front window. They may have started it to listen to the engine, who knows, and then I thought I was seeing things when they came back in and handed me a check. OP...

sucks for sure. hope you have a speedy recovery. take your pain meds as directed, you don't wanna end up turning tricks for your next high :sunglasses:

Nice truck. I concur with the folks who say you'll need a second job to pay for all the stuff that the folks around here will say you need😎

My first instinct is that this is not a good situation, primarily because you had to continue to add coolant. I would think the proper amount of coolant to add on a 2000 mile trip would be zero. But as @Figarou said it may just be condensation building up from not a lot of time at full operating...

Thanks for your contributions Phil. You gave us lots of insight into the trials and tribulations of what it takes to get a vehicle to market. Best of luck going forward, thank you.

Have you considered parking it, backed in of course, near the local baseball diamond or driving range? maybe you will get lucky and an errant slice could take care of everything....
