Just checked the oil after seeing a few dealer over filled it comments. It’s an inch above full on dip stick. Heading for dealer to get it at proper level. They do all my oil changes and I will be checking before oil I leave in the future. Damn it! Did not want to drive to Knoxville today.

When I first moved to AZ (before I found a really great shop) I use to make a mark on my filter with a Sharpie. Just a small x on it that way I knew if they changed it out or left the old one on there. I'd also mark the backside of the front tires to make sure they were rotated correctly. Sad that you have to do that now but there's to many dishonest places out there now. :(

I just received my filter wrench MX2374 from MotivXTools and I must say the quality and fit is amazing! Beyond my expectations!

You've made me spent more money, here is my payback: Do you have their oil funnel for the Ranger? Motivx Tools - MX2306B1

Cool thanks.
Yes, this fits the filter snuggly - so it will not slip
plus
The extension drive end is not the pass-through design like the others I have tried where the extension will pass through and hit the end of the filter and push off of it.
Excellent design and it justifies the price for it
I have it as well

Ah shoot! Now I have to spend more money too! ?
Thx!
It's OK, I bought both of them just before i posted, also got a 3/4 non-marring socket for less than $5. Too bad the 13/16" and 21mm are both out of stock.

I work from home and haven't been driving my truck; it's been very neglected. It's been parked under some palm trees near the carriage lights on my garage, and as a result it was covered in dead bugs, bird poop, and junk from the trees. The roof and hood were also growing mildew.

Today i detail cleaned it and moved it to a new spot away from the trees.

Half-&-half on the traction boards...

I now have the roof trim issue. Ughhhh.
