Nothing yet, on its way right now to a second dealer for work. First dealer stated they don't have a mechanic on hand that can do this job. I say thrown rod, but really all I have is the obvious engine knock and it could be a bent rod, spun bearing, etc..
Don’t even think of giving a dealer the easy way out to charge you more.
I figured this part goes without saying lol
True, but if you say “I shifted” then they might just consider it user error, warranty not covered because the owner admitted it.
Of course, the discussion goes largely as you said. I'm a pretty rational person, so I guess I was just saying here that I'm aware of the possibilities but I'm not going to offer speculation on the failure mode.
Sorry - don't remember exactly, and I don't want to mis-quote.
They're 8mm - 1.25. There's been several here who have used these below and they worked out good and a lot cheaper. You could always spray them with bed liner paint if the chrome bothers you.
Ford ranger was most reliable midsize truck per consumer reports. They don't take money from anyone but consumers, so pretty sure bet. That is why I got my ranger.
Thank you sir,i appreciate the info. Very helpful
I can only speak from my experience but even in sport while in select shift I have had it upshift automatically, granted I was driving like a bat out of hell offroad but If you floor it it will upshift even if you dont want it toThere's two different "areas" of select shift mode. One where you first drop it into S mode and it shift automatically. If at any time you press the side + button it puts it into manual mode and it doesn't shift at red line. I hit the button once by accident and it shot up to redline quickly in first gear and I was like wtf but then realized it was my mistake.
Having done it it does upshift, sport mode select shift I was offroad and held it in 2nd and gassed it hand not even on the shifter and it went up to third after hitting the limiter for a bit
@Wytchdctr Patrick, if you've got the "bird chirp" IIRC that will probably be the waste gate on the turbo. When the little arm moves is when it chirps. I've seen that somewhere on the forum, but can't remember which thread it was in.
