  1. Colorado STX Wheels and tires

    I have a set of 4 STX 17" aluminum wheels with Bridgestone tires. They are 255/65R 17. They have recently been balanced and have tpms sensors installed and center hubs. I have no use for these, I actually tried them on the new to me F-150 and although the bolt pattern was correct, there was a...
  2. So Long, Farewell .... Finally caved to the dealers "Pressure"

    Well, I've talked about this before where the dealer calls offering me just about anything for my Ranger. Today he called and told me he would give me $36,500 towards anything on the lot. He didn't have anything that really floated my boat. To be honest, about the only thing that would entice...
  3. Ranger Range

    I would call myself a very conservative driver .... no jack rabbit starts, etc. I do most of my driving around town and once in awhile, 2-4 times a week, I do a pup ride of 5-10 miles on I70. Today I couldn't remember if I had locked the truck when we came home, so I pulled up Ford Pass to lock...
  4. ForScan platform?

    Somewhere in all the reading I did, I saw a link to inexpensive tablets that would run Forscan. I thought I bookmarked it, but, apparently my uber tech talents failed me again. Anyone remember seeing that the can guide this old fart to it?
  5. Whooooo Hoooooo

    Just want to give a huge shoot out to all those that have posted info and links here ... with your help, this old non techie type guy has taught and older Vista computer (bought at a pawn shop that someone had upgraded to windows 10) an OBD device and myself to "Speak Ford" using the interpreter...
  6. Start/Stop ... Just stopped?

    I had the 110 volt outlet in the rear of the consul quit working. I replaced it and thought that maybe the LED night light had done some damage to it, so I've been using the "button" to turn it off. I downloaded the ForScan software and ordered the recommended adapter. The. adapter came...
  7. Repair/Replace 110v outlet on the backside of the center consul.

    I did the LED light mod to disable the start/stop feature. Worked perfectly for 7 months. Recently, the truck has been doing the start/stop thing. I checked the LED and it was very loose. Not that it backed out, the whole outlet is "worn" or broken. I've tried various "plugs" and they are all...
  8. Ford Pass App Issue

    I tried to check to see in my truck was locked this morning. When I opened the app on my iPhone 12 max Pro, the "Lock", "Start" and "Unlock" buttons are no longer there? Is this a glitch, or doing I need to pay for something? Kind of Weird.

  10. STX Wheels with 255/65R 17 Deullers

    Just put these on like 4 days ago, been taking my little pup out for our ride every day. There is a stretch of I 70 from Loma to Mack that is grooved cement. It's like mile marker 10-16 or close to that, so almost to Utah. Every time we cross this section, going in either direction, the truck...
  11. Bed Top Tent????

    Okay, here's the situation. When I travel, I pull my Harley Trike on an aluminum trailer. My first thought was to trade my aluminum trailer in and get a 7' x 14' enclosed trailer that I could make the front into a temp "bed room" about 4' x 7', plus the nose. The downside of the 7' x 14'...
  12. Tire Question

    I've been looking at getting a set of the 17" silver STX rims, I think they would look very nice on my Oxford White 2020 Lariat. I'd be putting 265/70R 17 tires on them. More sidewall is the goal. I currently have the stock Lariat 18" wheels with 265/65/ 18 Micheline tires. Gave me 1/2" more...
  13. Wiper Spray Thingy

    I think today was the first time I've used the washer on the windshield, if I have used it, I didn't notice this issue. Driving through the desert (on road) I hit a huge grassy bug that squished right in my line of sight. I hit the sprayer and the wiper hesitates for a second, which is good...
  14. Rear Camera

    So today I hooked up the truck to the trailer, took it to Big O and had 3 new tires put on. Thread was still good, but they were 7 years old. Should of replaced them last year, but with covid, I didn't go anywhere, so I just waited. Next month dragging the trike to Texas, so, it was time. On...
  15. Question about racks

    I am considering getting a rack and putting a tent on it. The question is, are the Yakima type racks strong enough to support a tent? Or do I need to get a $1500 "adventure" type rack.
  16. Can Base Camp Routes be used/imported with the Ranger Lariat GPS?

    The pup and I are going to Kerrville, Texas from Grand Junction, Co. Next Month (1150 miles one way). I have the route mapped out on base camp (Garmin). Can I import that route to the Ranger Sync system? Or, does Ford have something similar? On my Harley GPS system, I can export it to a usb...
  17. BackFlip G2 vs A.R.E. Fussion

    Had a bad shipping experience with the shipping on the Under Cover Elite I ordered. The company said it would continue to send replacements until one got here undamaged. That to me sounded a tad insane. So, I've been looking at my first thought again. The Backflip G2 The Fussion I think...
  18. Okay ... raising the white flag

    I've spent a couple hours looking, searching and I give up. I know I've seen something about "Soft Rebooting" the Sync system ... HELP!!!! Twie in the last 24 hours, the system looses it's connection with my phone, searches and can't reconnect. I can not un pair via sync or the phone. The...
  19. Fate got me again ... Or How my Pup Ate My Truck.

    Welp, yesterday I decided since it was 60+*, I would go out, pull panels and route the wiring for the mag safe charger inside the dash. I broke out the nylon tools and carefully removed the left side of the radio vent and the panel below it. I set them on the dash and commenced to routing the...
  20. Questions about wheels and Tires

    Got a couple sources for wheels and tires but, need some info before I pull the trigger. All of the sources are 6-10 hours drive, which is not a real big deal since I'm retired and my little puppy loves a road trip. Little background. My 202 Ford Ranger Lariat 4x4 is gonna need tires in 5-10K...
