What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[DukeCanBuildit]

That parking job! Paul @OrangeStreak I didn't know you were up in Canada last week? ?


Well, at least they're not all doing this up there.......Yet!

I think that guy carries the floor jack and extra wheels in the bed for when a spacer fails and he loses a wheel. ?

It’s a little early for pics. I don’t start the road trip until next week.

Truck is at the dealer getting the replacement seat belt piece (recall) and having them check the mushy brake pedal, requested they do the old fashioned bleed, and by my short conversation with the advisor if the tech says it's a 'normal' condition they won't do any fix/repair so will see.
It has been driven 2 miles i can see on the Ford pass app so they did a test drive.
If they don't do it my next stop is a non dealer shop.

**Update,
Just got home from dealer they fixed the seatbelt clip or retainer and said it's a normal pedal 'feel', so now i move on to a old fashioned repair shop.
The problem with these dealer techs is they don't stray off of what the 'book of specs' says or the 'computer' tells them how to fix.

Hit 25 000 km today.
Truck was burning DPF again when I got home, so I went to count rabbits for @IdahoRanger

Just love black interior especially when floor mats are clean, and my constant passenger. Alf is allowed to be not black.

Leveled it perfect for $48
Actually picked up some mulch at home depot . Bought 24 bags and got 3 free with holes. Could have had 40 more free because they won't load any bags with holes in them in a customer vehicle and they put them aside if a customer wants and loads them

Then took off to Costco for gas. About a mile down the road turned on the AC for the first time this year and my transmission shifting turned to crap. Turned the AC off and it went back to normal. Turned it back on same results. Pushed the tow button and all was well again. Anybody else notice a small load and AC on affects the shifting points making it search and bang downshifting that pushing tow solves.

I drove it! I got to drive it after being gone on vacation for a week and a half to Alaska…which is worth it for those of you that haven’t been there. Absolutely gorgeous place.

ROAD TRIP!

Maryland to Northwest Illinois… wife, 2 pups and a daughter pick up at O’Hare. 833 miles, $1 Billion in tolls, 16 hours (I think traffic in Chicago accounted for 8 hours).

Gossamer did great love this truck!

Made it back late last night after a 14 hour straight run home ?, 1970 round trip miles, acceptable MPG for the Illinois back roads and hills of PA and MD. So happy with the performance and ride… for the most part (Eibach Pro Front Coil Overs are still on my want list) Only odd issue was with the Sync system acting freaking possessed.

After 6 days of no Wi-Fi, limited cell service and a ton of windshield time it’s good to be home!

Picks don’t do the bug coverage justice.

Was almost run over.
Here's a good reminder why all the luggage should be always secured.
As camera locates low can't see how close he really was.
That guy planned to go to the lane which was right from me but I messed his plans. Saw him making turn back after escape.
I guess video is visible for you.

Kristina, they drive just like people in the US.

Oh, what kind of wimpy horn is that?

I don't know why my cool voice horn like we can hear in @got3fords video didn't activate this time.
So I pressed emergency horn.

Was out running errands with the wife in Big blue today. She even commented that she noticed that it handledbumps a bit better with the Sumo springs intalled. on the way home we saw a motorcyclist get side slammed in front of us. Luckily he wasn't hurt. He was in the right lane next toe at a stop light. When we pulled away from the light he pulled ahead of me. A van pulled out of a side street from the left ahead of me and swung wide into the lane of the cyclist. It bumped him off the road into the grass ditch. Luckily there was no curb or it could have been much worse. Van will probably need a new door skin on that side, bike didn’t look bad as he didn't go down.

I see this so often where people turn onto a multi-lane street and swing all the way across traffic. Also people don't see bikes. The drive probably saw me and judged he had room and never saw the bike. As a motorcyclist my self I am always very alert for motorcycles and other vehicles around me. I have had people pull out in front of me several times and was lucky enough to be able to avoid them.

Hauled some dirt, cut a pool noddle in half to plug the gap between the bed and the cab, hillbilly engineering. Wish I had done that last year when I had a load of mulch

Towed a rented Airstream Bambi 22 foot from Allentown Pennsylvania to Ohiopyle for a week of biking the Great Allegheny Passage rail trail. My wife and I bike about 30 miles a day going out and back from an access point on the rail trail. Did 130 miles in 5 days, stayed at the Yough Lake campground for a quiet time to chill.
