Gave my '22 a wash this afternoon...........41° outside and I'm wet........wifee comes home and asks me if I'm out of my mind? Told her probly and cold too! Got 'er clean though! Hot bath thawed me out afterward!

Used molding not meant for this application, and thus project did not go as expected.

The gaps are much bigger than I thoughts.

And yes my hands look deformed, cold weather turns them into crab claws...

Backer Rod was a good and logical choice for what you were trying to achieve - I mean, it’s meant for windows, right? Too bad it didn’t work out.

Came home yesterday after spending the week at the dealership to fix a leak in the crank seal. Fortunately, it squeaked in under warranty, and they loaned me a Bronco Sport so I wasn't without transport; not a bad vehicle, but too small to be my sole vehicle. Might consider it as a 2nd, but the whole dial-a-gear thing threw me off. Having "grown up" in manuals, and using the shift paddles when I'm in S mode, it felt weird to not have a shift stick to hold onto.

Yeah, kinda anticipated this outcome. The gap behind the glass is about an inch from between the factory adhesive and the pillar... Ford used bare minimum here.



Ah well, gonna order actual windshield molding once i get all my measurements taken.

We have an outback with paddle shifters. They do not replace a shifter. I just can't feel the feedback I got from the stick shift. I struggle with getting on the throttle in corners (highway ramps) because I am not used to keeping my hands at 3&9....its an odd feeling. I am not sure which I dislike more, the button on the ranger, or her paddle shifters...


AHH the good ol' I wish this truck came in manual feelings are returning. ?

Really though, I am glad it's not a manual. Now, I think I'd really enjoy an AWD Maverick in manual though....

I loved her forester that was manual trans.

The feeling if it running the rpm's up and the stickiness of the AWD system... If I trade the ranger in, it'll be for a built STI... And a beater daily. ?

Well, I had a day.

Not My Ranger - Daughter's Boyfriends 2019 Ranger XLT

Daughter calls me and informs me her boyfriend's 2019 Ranger XLT has a Check Charging Sys Message that popped up just after giving her car a jump start.

So, I Troubleshot it down to a Blown Fuse (The 225-A) Alternator Fuse, of course nobody has one in stock and had to order it. Ordered though NAPA, tried dealer and they could not even locate it in their parts system, and it appears it can only be obtained through the whole Batt Fuse Link Assy.
I did find it online as a separate part #, BUT they are all overseas for the ROW Rangers

So, once I got the fuse and installed it, issue fixed now for that, I was curious and looked at his Fan Clutch - WELL

I found the hose broken, I took this opportunity to compare my module to his and noted his has a lot more slop than mine.
Fan Clutch has no noted wear - Bearings are solid, Fan Check Normal, however it is a little noisier than mine.

I took some spare 3/8 HP Fuel Line and added some clamps and resecured the wire harness.
Will Monitor it for security.

Now, for what caused the Fuse to blow, I believe she inadvertently crossed the jumper cables.

Now for the double whammy, I saw water on top of his engine, I informed him that this may be a very bad sign for the Spark Plugs.
I plan on taking a quick look down in the wells sometime soon and hopefully they are not covered in corrosion.

O also used ranger center on bronco wheels, and damn do they look hot. Will look way hotter once I convert to true bead locks.

Better have him trade it in before his transmission blows too.
