What did you do to your Ranger today?

[DukeCanBuildit]

Picked up my 5g from the dealer today and washed it. Parked it in the garage. Transmission still in full Karen mode. Dealer says nothing wrong. Brakes still screeching and feels like warped rotors dealer says they are fine still in green whatever that means lol. And as I've added aftermarket shocks and springs warranty is void and they will not repair stuff. Not a good day for my 5g. ? of course im not happy but nothing i can do. Been screwed blued and ford tattooed. But i got a box of goodies to do maintenance on the 4g so it will cheer me up.

Oh man, I read this post after reading about the tranny fluid nightmare. Sometimes, things just don’t go the way we planned. If I lived nearby, I’d be right over with a six pack to try and cheer you up.

Here’s to better days ahead.

Put these on so my old, short, broken down self can get in without tearing up my seat.

The steps look great! Do you have a link to that brand of steps please? Thank you!

I don’t get to post in this thread as I haven’t done anything since the first month of owning it but today I did do something with my 21 Crew XLT 302a, I paid it off.

I’ve been very aggressive with payments and got it to a point where it just made financial sense for me. For now, I am waiting about 5-8k more miles so I can jump back in this thread with new, larger tires.

Congrats!?

 

[Tracy Bowman]

soon to come.

Great deal!

how do you like the bfg trails ? Ive never tried them but considering a set for my older ranger.

Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. Threaten to sue them.

next week im going to another shop and let them look at what the dealer would not. then im going to get it in writing and put with my other documentation of the issues that started before the addition of shocks, springs, and struts. Then try another dealer and see if they are more ethical or just try to hose me like the last one did. I expect them too lol. Ford Customer "dont" Care is aware. supposedly started a case for my truck. So when the next dealer pulls shenanigans I will go back to FCDC and tell them what dealer to visit. Likely end up waiting weeks and get lots of run around. But - this will make the 4th trip for transmission issues without it being solved. That means I would have a strong case for Texas lemon law. Id prefer Ford to be honest and just admit the transmission has issues and fix it. But Ford will be Ford.

Great deal!

Indeed. Not a fan of hood shields, but I'll see how this goes.

May end up painting to match.
