What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

Interesting! I know you are running a different intercooler in the diesel than I am in my US petrol model, but I am fascinated with "mechanical modes of failure."

Thanks for your answer.

Warranty. Parts are not one to one same anymore compared to what were removed. New turbo cooler should last.

Yes, it gets dirty but not damaged

Hose was cracked, water got in, turbo cooler didn’t work as supposed to.

Sounded like a good fix in a timely manner. =)

Called the dealer yesterday, they diagnosed and fixed today. Impressive.

Took the TracVac full of leaves and a pile of old bushes I ripped out to the local yard waste drop-off. That's 12 loads this Fall. ?
71k miles and the Ranger is earning its keep. Almost ready for a new set of tires. LOL

Visited dealer.
Update about my engine light on 11 000 km.
Turbo cooler. All changed.
We’re back!

Good news!

The lettering on my tailgate popped out when I removed my tailgate damper. Just kidding, optical illusion.

Looking at the bumper in daylight, I’m pretty sure I can pull it back into shape. My truck gets used and abused, so I’m not too worried about it.

My passenger side bumper got hit. It was crooked compared to the other side. Nothing a come-along didnt fix. Yes they are steel bumpers but very thin little tiny tiny steel

I’m glad this worked out so well and so quickly Kristina. ??

That is exactly what I plan to do. If I'm really motivated, I'll pop the right side off and try to get the light crease out of it too.

Did a little prepper prepping. Picked up these food grade barrels for emergency water storage. Also a non electronic/electrical hand pump.

That type of pump, in my experience, is prone to vanes sticking in rotor from rust. Hope your experience is better than mine.

I put my barrells up on a couple concrete blocks and installed a hose bib near the bottom. . . let gravity do the work for me. . . and requires no maintenance, and if you have to replace it they are everywhere. and if SHTF every house has at least 1 on the outside of their home...

also makes draining and cleaning easy - hook a hose up and drain it into the garden.

Just a thought for future system improvements

Took the truck up to the snow with the pups.

Made the saddest road trip of the season this afternoon…

Winterized and locked up the cottage on Lake Huron, backed down the driveway, and headed back to Toronto. Already can’t wait for Spring!

Excellent backing job!

today and all night last night lol Abbs and I put on a winch mount and winch. we lost tools, made a mess, busted up some knuckles, scraped up hands and arms. we also discovered the mount manufacture directions were wrong or who ever was reading them should have printed the correct instruction set... guess who was reading them ???. after taking apart way too much and mounting things up and trying to put the bumper etc back on - no go. we had to take it all apart and start over. . . picture was around 3 am after starting over.

apparently, due to covid 19 - m 18 wrenches and sockets have vanished from my boxes. had to dig in garage and in the trucks for 18s. found one 18 socket from 4 tool sets?... and one 18 wrench. back in business. cheap hong kong 18 socket fails. ruined the bolt, bolt stuck in socket- in the frame ?. took a moment to reflect on life.?‍ then got my ? and pry bar ?‍ showed that bolt and socket who boss. removed ruined bolt from frame. back to parts bins to scrounge up substitute bolt. found bolt and the sockets i was missing from the begging ?

. finally got it done. winch works. mount works and is solid.
