What did you do to your Ranger today?

[iceman145]

Sharp-looking truck. Is that the Forrest Splash? How are you liking it? I ordered an MY23 Ranger with Splash Package. Gets me excited to see other Splash Rangers "in the wild"

Yup, and so far I love the truck. I love the color, looks WAY different than the Ford pictures I saw.

The color is totally different than the Ford renditions, looks way better in person. Glad to hear the positive reviews!

The certified tech and I that did the install used greases recommended by icon. They have a YT video regarding greasing the Delta joint and I purchased the same grease they used in the video (consistent with what they call for in the picture) and went with Lucas red n tacky per their recommendation at the bushings. I think Lucas Marine would also work as I believe it's also an NLGI #2.

the install manual states that Delta joint is pre greased and does not require it for the first 3-5k miles. But the joint isnt where the noise was coming from.

Any chance ethe noise might stop after some more break-in? When I did the add-a-leaf, I was getting a lot of noise from the back of my truck until it all settled in.

I suppose anything is possible. S3M got back to be. Icon first requests I disassemble the bushings again and dunk everything in grease to ensure that no parts are allowed to interact without grease coating every inch of everything... then if it still squeaks follow up with a warranty claim.

Not sure when I'll have that kind of time, but we'll see. Maybe I'll blow off office work Monday after I get back from Atlanta.

I can't take a pic of the start-stop eliminator, it is tucked away under the panel.

Well, maybe not now... but what about while you were installing it?

There's a photo of it that I got from the retailers page. Installation was super easy. 5-10 minutes max. It's just plug and play.

Nice! I bought one for my old car and got rid of it before I got around to installing it...

With my Ranger, I lucked out and the dealer spec'd it with auto start/stop delete when they ordered it. I happily paid the extra $50 dollar charge that came with it. ?

I'd say I literally can't feel your pain (?), but today I flew to Atlanta for work.

Me: what kind of SUV am I getting?

Car Rental Agent: "looks like you're getting a Ford Bronco"

Me:

Until...

Me:

And it has auto start stop. Took me a minute to realize WTF was going on. So yea, get it outta there!

It should have been a $50 credit, not a charge! Should be listed that way on your window sticker.

Just installed bosch excel wiper blades. Oem ones kept lifting off the glass.

Conventional always performed better for me.

I'll look when I get home... I probably didn't pay close enough attention. It looked like a charge to me... I assumed it was to covered the time it took to go in and disable it... and why not in this day and age?

One day burger King will wise up and say "have it your way... for a nominal fee over stock". Assuming they don't already ?. Haven't had burger King in a while.

EDIT: I'm so dumb. I downloaded that window sticker easily 50 times when I was shopping out my Ranger. You are absolutely correct.

Nice of them to eff up the front bumper for free though ? (damn state of NJ)

Had this done at linex today. They had a summer sale going $50.00 off, so only $550.00
