Transmission shifting differently...

Had my battery replaced yesterday on warranty and when leaving the lot noticed immediately that the transmission was not shifting the same as when I took it in. Almost turned around to go back and find out what happened but decided to test it to see if it was just me? Got home and checked the manual and discovered what the issue was... :whew:

State inspection shop called, needs new rear brakes. Oddly the fronts are usually the first to go.
They think the calipers are sticking because the inside pads are worn out and the outers aren't too bad.
That happened to me - specifically the driver-rear-inside trashed the caliper and all of the other pads still have service life to them.

You will also need to reset the Auto up/down on the driver’s window. Run it up and down a few times and hold the button for a few seconds.

Thanks. I have been looking at the $569.99 Black HDX set. Realtruk has a rebate going on them right now and I tempted to pull the trigger. I was hoping for something with a little less drop, but these come up in all my searches.
I got these that look similar. APS Pocket Steps Running Boards Side Bars Compatible with Ford Ranger 2019-2023 SuperCrew Cab 4-Door https://a.co/d/a2bOoaa

It’s funny you should mention this. I was attempting to get something USA made…I know a tough order. I thought the Westin HDX was, but turns out they design and engineer in the USA, but made in China. Given that fact I ordered one I liked that I knew was China made, but just over half the price.

We help people sell their Rangers in the easiest way possible.
Thank you! And yeah tires are wayyy more expensive now than the last few times I bought them. But this time I made sure to pay extra for replacement certificates:LOL:
Smart move! Keep those certificates safe. You never know when a rouge nail can wreck your tires.

I hate “rouge” nails. Feminine looking, but still very dangerous. ?

Good thing cause I went through some old email receipts and couldn't find it
Amazon not only tracks you, they keep track of all your orders you ever made there. Top right corner Returns & Orders button, pick the time frame.
