Initiation question: Have you replaced your DPFE sensor? LOL

Original is still going on 5 years and 1 month.

I did my front and rear pads at around 70,000. If you plan to do the rear yourself, you will need a piston compression tool that turns counterclockwise and one that turns clockwise. You can buy a kit on Amazon that contains both. With the tool(s) it's a pretty easy process. The rear caliper...

I'm at 88,000 in a 2020 after 5 years and I thought I did a lot of driving. You get around huh?

She look a tad dirty.

Put a flashlight to it. May not be as dirty as you think

Yes, dealt with this after about 70,000 miles. I laughed in a Ford service manager's face after they tried to sell me on a $200 set they recommended and decided to get a one-piece style from Amazon.

My experience is similar. Haven’t touched the transmission yet at 88,000. Haven’t had any issues transmission related. I’ve changed the spark plugs, front and rear pads, rear diff fluid, and a new DPFE sensor. Regular oil changes and air filter changes.

The thing about a page like this is, many come here to share/report a problem and seek advice on it, so you will undoubtedly read through quite a bit of them. There is a large percentage of these trucks out on the roads doing just fine.

Center support bearing in the middle of the driveshaft.

It’s a feature I’d say is definitely admirable. It’s advertised as the best in fuel economy for midsize trucks and I’d expect it to hold up to that. Not an obsession, just an admiration. I certainly like the fact that I generally get better gas mileage than say a 2020 Colorado or 2020 Tacoma.

This is my life of the truck so far, fuel economy over almost 85k miles. I’ve taken it from GA to Illinois and back, GA to Florida and back twice, and from GA to Alabama’s coast and back once. It’s an impressive feature considering my driving habits are far from a peepaw out for a Sunday cruise.

I got 83k miles out of the first one so I’d say it lived a fair life. It now lives in a trash bag.

My guess would be no, but there was another thread where someone cut the sensor body in half, revealing the inner parts. Thread was “What’s inside a DPFE sensor”

No, I kept the original hoses fully intact. In order to remove those style clamps, they have a small tab that is bent over near the tail of the clamp. Bend that tab up/out and that allows you to remove the clamp.

You could use worm style and I've read where several others had. I just decided to go back with what Ford originally had on the top side. I doubt you would want to put the ear crimp clamps on the both sides of any hose you may have to remove in the future.

I just completed changing of the DPFE sensor on my 2020 Ranger. I decided to change just the sensor itself, as I knew it wouldn't be that difficult to remove and replace the ear clamps Ford used at the sensor's ports. Symptoms I was experiencing were hesitation, bogging, and bucking during...
