Anyone NOT have problems with the Ranger?

[kieefer]

Vibes and stumbles when new, added a tune and that helped, all cleared up after 30k and premium fuel.
Heater Box failed, warranty covered it.
Rattle in headliner, disappeared around 40k.
Tranny slow to engage in reverse, on-going, 60k.
Radio forgets iPhone is plugged in, reset once a month (?)
Radio never updates.
Floor heating vents are useless.
Still running stock battery.

The day I changed my transfer case and rear diff fluid it all disappeared. I don't know which one actually fixed it because I did them both at the same time. I noticed the difference simply backing out of my garage. It's been about 25 000 miles ago and still running smoothly. I'm assuming it's the transfer case fluid because my increased torque in 4L easily tripled. It pulls itself, like the crawler gear in the Bronco does. I can get out and walk beside it as moves lol. It didn't do that with the factory juice in it.
I've never been a fan of factory fluids, now I'm even skeptical of the junk ones they use during assembly and/or on the assembly line.

What did you replace the factory fluids with?

I've already done my front and rear diffs and my transmission fluid will get changed this spring when I install my Mishimoto trans pan.

Amsoil products,. Don't forget your transfer case!

That's on the menu at the same time as the transmission.

Interesting, thanks for the context, might have to try this out on mine and see if it makes a difference.

When I reach 75,000mi, I plan to change all fluids including brake fluid; "If you can pour it, change it." Maybe even the blinker fluid.? I did all that when my '09 Mariner reached 100K, and it shifts smoothly and the drivetrain is quiet. No problems with the 6F35 trans, one of Ford's better ideas

What viscosity blinker fluid did you use ??? And, seeing where you live, do you have to change the blinker fluid to a different mix, like summer or winter mix ???
And, does changing to a thicker viscosity change the "blink" sequence....
like going from blinkblinkblink to blink....blink....blink....

I read all the messages of people having all kinds of problems with their ranger. Really discouraging. I have a 2020 Ranger XLT with 17k on it,

Anyone got a few miles on theirs without problems?

33000 Km ... No problems, normal wear & tear.

For vehicles manufactured after 2008, I use ChrisFix™ full synthetic. It contains superkalaphradulistique polymer emulsion precipitate that changes the color temperature slightly in flat or low light conditions for better visibility. and will not harm children or pets:

Yes, full synthetic is the way to go. Works in all weather conditions.

LAriat 2023 with 24k miles on it and the only issue I have is when it's very cold, when I press on the feeder, there is nothing moving, not even the RPM but happened once.
beside that, it runs perfectly

2019 Lariat with just under 33k miles.

Only trouble I have is keeping my foot out of the throttle.

41,000 trouble free miles, UNTIL
a message suddenly appears after stops/overnight.

Give the battery a charge, and desulfate so you might get some more time with it.
