I'm trying to fix a problem on my Honda Odyssey relating to an airbag light. The betas on the Odyssey forum aren't interested in fixing anything, they just fold over and want you to take everything to the dealer. I just wanted to pat ourselves on the backs for a good forum with a great spirit...

I got a rental for a work trip, SWMO <> DFW area. It had 6000 miles, and I put an additional 1000 on it. In no particular order... Pros: Drives very nicely Feels really tight and quiet Quietness is comparable to my truck after I put dynamat in the doors The bed sides are low and very...

It fits* *Ok so it’s not ideal. For the factory latches to work, they have to be tucked behind the swing cases. If I needed to raise the cover, I would have to first swing the toolboxes then release the Trifecta latches. It’s not really a problem for me. I don’t plan to keep the cover on...

I’ve been doing some reading on the PowerBoost (hybrid) F-150. This would be the one that has the onboard generator that’s accessible for power tools and such, up to 7.2kW. (The inverter in the back seat of the Ranger is a fairly disappointing 150 watts or 0.15kW for comparison) I’m no...

Our first curtain climber arrives in October ? Putting the passenger seat on the dash to get a rear-facing infant seat in is a no-go. Besides, the center is safer in a T-bone situation. I was surprised to find that the center position doesn’t have any LATCH anchors. Fortunately, the support bar...

3.5L HO + 10R80 in a 2005 These guys are doing the Lord's work.

Found this doc tonight. Looks like a good resource for troubleshooting down the road. Highlights I found are: OBD trouble code listing and explanation, looks to be the manufacturer specific codes only. Sensor diagnostics (oscilloscope stuff) 10R80 power flow and operating theory Direct link...

Just got home last night from our trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We took a borrowed camper: my grandpa's Coleman 1705RB. I won't get into many camper details unless someone wants to, but basically it's a 22' single axle with an advertised dry weight of around 3500 lbs. Let me...

I enjoyed the 1998 Ranger I had when I was just out of high school. It was a good truck...for me, and for the time. I've also driven several others of my family's and at work. However, into the late 2000's decade, it was becoming pretty obvious that Ford was hanging the Ranger out to dry. This...

On the way home from the lake last night I must have gotten bright light flashed 5-6 times on a 50 mile drive. It’s not like I had a ton of tongue weight either. It must be really bad with an actual full load. Do the LED headlamps have a traditional screw adjustment? Any other suggestions...

My dealer puts these on all their new vehicles. It's a big selling point, whatever. I'm sure they charge a bunch for it. I'm told they don't usually put them on ordered vehicles but mine slipped through somehow. I didn't get charged for mine, and it's a very good thing. I have requested that...

This ain’t right, right? The passenger side doesn’t do it. How do you even open up the seat to access the mechanism? I’m a DIY if possible kind of guy vs letting the dealer monkey with it.

I don't have my truck yet so this answer could be obvious in person. It seems to me that there's a lot of storage space left on the table under the SuperCrew rear seat. Yes there's that little cubby but what fills the rest of the space? Are there other functional bits under there that can't be...

The "official" t-shirt from Ford Merchandise is finally available. It's been listed for a while but out of stock. https://merchandise.ford.com/Product/1510895-Ford_Ranger_Mens_Ranger_Tee Anybody know of any other good shirts with the current styling?

I just ordered a non-FX4 4x4 Lariat. Does anyone know if the tires have the white letters turned to the inside? If so I may have the dealer flip them around for me.
