What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Venom_z89]

Cool but is it a steering rack, I’m not too Bright ..

Yea. It’s same that is on wild track and bronco raptor with different inner and outer tie rods. It’s better geared for the stress of off-road and large tires. The less stressed a part works the longer it will live.

Will you need to change steering resistance in FORScan?

I'm just curious since my shoulders are crap and I'm trying to understand what I can do to ease steering (LOL, my only solution, that I can grasp—no pun intended—has been a Brody knob).

I spoke with the company that builds full billet hoss 3.0 racks and how they get them to work with the lower base models. The answer the owner told me was all they do is copy and paste as built data for that particular module. The base model broncos have same racks as we do difference in part number is the tie rods.

Visited nearby dealer for The WORKS !! Noticed we have three fasteners missing from the fender liner. Not sure which dealer left them out. Should not have to double-check everything.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Dropped it off at the dealer.

Both issues I expect to come back as No Problem Found.

1. Transmission has slammed hard a couple of times. First time I thought someone had bumped into me.

2. Heater box is acting up again in the cooler weather. Of course it worked fine today before dropping off.

I have dropped it off for the heater box before and nothing was done because it was working fine when they had it.

Thank you, that's really interesting and phenomenal research on your part!

Of course, now you've planted a seed in my head that may, eventually, cost me money and serious installation cussing. But I do miss doing this sort of thing, just not sure I have enough fuel in the tank to take it on. =D

This sounds like an ideal project and massive enhancement!

Keep us armchair mechanics excited, post lots of pics, and good luck! =)

Not entirely I’ll have to get a bronco with wildtrak and use fdrs program to copy the steering module info.

I've experienced #1 SEVERAL times. Ughhhh. If I recall correctly, I've heard this has something to do with the slip yoke on the drive shaft. I heard there is a Ford fix kit out there for it, which is some sort of grease package. I haven't delved into it any further, but damn, if it doesn't feel like you just got rear-ended by another car!

I've seen members here say the Ford kit only fixed it for a while. The grease is apparently the key. You want to use moly CS grease when you lube the slip joint then you're good to go.

Yea it will make a clunk sometimes, someone on here had a fix for that .

My 2021 STX | FX4 ranger came with the 4 inch screen. No Android Auto or Apple Car Play.

I just wrapped up the 4 to 8 inch screen upgrade from 4dtech.

It all seems to be perfect and no I am way more hand free and can use the 8 inch touch screen.

Before install with 4 inch screen

During install:

After install with 8 inch screen

I wish all rangers just came standard with the 8 inch. Now I feel like a normal ranger owner! ?

Oh lord if I wasn't such a slave to them wages I would have done this mod myself ages ago.
