  1. Transmission Horror Story (replacement/factory underfilled?)

    I just checked my transmission fluid level. It was not showing on the dipstick when cold. It took a 1/2 quart to bring it up to the cold level. It seemed to perform a little smoother on the cold shifts. I did need to pull out 100ML out on the last check. The fluid was a dark red at 15K. Will...
  2. Truck Going Into Deep Sleep

    After the battery replacement, my Auto Stop/Start did not start working again. The tech forgot to connect a small wire that is hidden under the positive terminal. I just connected it and hopefully it is all back to normal.
  3. Truck Going Into Deep Sleep

    I had the same issue. It was a bad battery that was replaced under warranty.
  4. Fuel in oil

    I fully removed the catch can lines and replaced the original PVC line. It was a pain in the rear, but I wanted to see if there was any differences. The oil level did not change. It stayed slightly above the overfill hole. The gas smell from the oil did mostly go away. I was getting a couple of...
  5. Fuel in oil

    I pulled the catch can off my ranger. The fuel smell decreased significantly. Not sure about the analysis results as I do not have enough miles on it.
  6. Survey for people with and without fuel dilution

    I took off my catch can a month ago. The fuel smell went away. I wonder if the catch can, in my instance, aggravates the fuel odor. I did not notice a change yet in fuel level.
  7. Fuel in oil

    Mine is stabilized around the top hole. It might be 3/16 above the top hole with 200 miles on the oil. I took off the catch can to see if there is a difference. I have notices that there is less of a gas smell around the truck. I wonder if the catch can reduces the efficiencies of PVC system in...
  8. Survey for people with and without fuel dilution

    Nice Survey! With enough data points, we might be able to help isolate contributing factors.
  9. Catch can install gone wrong

    As long as there is not a kink in the hose, you should be ok. I would suggest a drain kit, it is a pain to unscrew the can every other tank of gas.
  10. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Loaded 1,680 pounds of patio blocks in the bed and drove it 30 miles home. I definitely could feel the weight in the bed, but the engine and transmission had no problems.
  11. Fuel in oil

    Thanks! I was wanting this information. My 6.2 quart fill was just over the hash marks. I was interested to know how much was needed to go to the top hole. So it looks like 350-400 ml from the top of the hash marks to the top hole. Thanks!
  12. What was your first Ford daily driver?

    My first Ford was a 1982 Ford Futura POS. MPG in the teens from the straight 6. Leaked/used a quart of oil a week. As a 16 year old, I did my own body work and left a thick coat of bondo on the lower door exposed. It was a $500 dollar beater car. Oh yeah, those were the days, driving it around...
  13. Rustproofing?

    I am going with a cosmoline product such as: https://www.amazon.com/CRC-06026-Heavy-Corrosion-Inhibitor/dp/B07DYRCJK5/ref=pd_ybh_a_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5WWBDBYABP0NNJXBBVNX It seems to be longer lasting than the fluid film and does not trap moisture like rubberized undercoating...
  14. PIDs for our trucks?

    Anyone found a solution for the oil temp on Torque app?
  15. Fuel in oil

    No, they do not have and OEM catch can. I installed a Mishimoto on my 2016 ecoboost mustang. The oil has a gas smell in the mustang, but the oil level does not change. I can even run 87 octane in it, but it reduces the power levels.
  16. Fuel in oil

    I purchased a 2020 ranger about a month ago. I was a dealer demo with 3100 miles. I put on another 1000 or so. I noticed the oil was up to the top circle when I decided to change it. When I finally got to it a few days later, it was 1/4 inch above. I put in Mobile 1 and 6.2 quarts. The level was...
