What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Stevo56]

Had it rust-proofed, detailed, and I installed the Livernois tuner. Ready for winter.

Thought it would be fun to just take the whole thing apart. Not really, the aftermarket headlights just do not fit properly so she got buttoned back up as stock.

Curious which headlights you tried. Is it the Mustang style w/ sequential turn signal? I want those real bad but I haven't seen anyone swap them in successfully yet.

Yeah, the Mustang/sequentials. Lower outer fender mount does not line up. Almost a 2" miss.

Dang. Well that sucks. I applaud your efforts though!

If there's ever a case for having a 3D printer...then this could be it. Could you print a bracket to bridge the gap?

I mean..I don't know how the rest of the fitment is with them, but if it's off laterally then maybe a bracket to bridge it?

I actually have both a filament printer and a resin printer. These are supposed to be plug and play. Working with the seller (China time dif is a pain). If I get stuck with them I will make an attachment block.

Not only is there a -/+ 2" gap, it is also a bit forward set. Wish I had a 3d scanner, I suck at CAD. I could mock up a block in about an hour.

Also some wire issues I do not understand yet. I think these may actually be Mustang lights. Dunno

Wow...yeah I was wondering if it was just the +/- 2" gap or if there were other issues. Hope it works out for you!

Took a phone call while driving it today advising me that my GT500 went into production!

You paid $1,000 for a vinyl racing stripe?

Installed compact Air horn (Stebel Nautilus)
Louder than stock, but not obnoxious.
Found a perfect spot for it, just under the top hood shroud/fascia.

Give us a short vid of the horn blowing

Had the Fox 2.0 (“Tuned by Ford Performance”) suspension kit installed, plus the Ford Performance red tow hooks and a red ARB rear diff cover.

I’m loving the suspension so far on the road. Feels super smooth and stable. And I think the stance looks good. Looking forward to testing it out off road in Moab this weekend.

TBH, I’m ambivalent about the red tow hooks and red diff cover. I think they look pretty good, but maybe it would have been better to leave it all black on gray.

Hi Folks,

Took the Ranger to the UPS store today as more meds delivered to the mail box and not our home...sheesh!

Anyway...post reflash of the PCM has shown that I have a very different Ranger than before relative to cold starts. It is a totally different vehicle. No surging...silky smooth operation. Why the vehicle could not have been delivered with this calibration is beyond me. I am saddened that 2019 Rangers suffered needlessly with marginal driveability. I place the blame for this poor performance on the same manager that accepted the abomination of an owners manual with its ommissions and inaccuracies and inconsistencies.

I could have sat in my office and never driven a Ranger during my time as head of Ranger...drive into work in my Lincoln...Drive home in my Linconl...totally clueless to driving a truck. I chose to drive Rangers every day almost. When something was not right....I gave direction to diagnose and to fix... it is called passion for the product...

Anyone with a 2019 should take advantage of the TSB 20-2339 if you have any cold start driveability concerns..be they engine or transmission.

Best,

I agree completely Phil. If you don’t have a passion for your work how can you get up and go in each day. Makes life miserable for sure. Mine drives better after the reflash too.
And thanks for being so dedicated to the Ranger platform over the years. I have had three of them. Loved them all and put many many miles on them. Thanks for making that possible.
