A better question Is has anybody seen a problem with a Ranger. And I’m asking specifically about Ranger not everybody else’s horror stories.

Could I take this hose off and spray in there?

I know what you’re saying but just wondering if I could use the crc every now and then for part of the maintenance?
I do change the oil less than 3000 miles, run top tier 91 octane gas

I think the general consensus is that these products work as a preventative maintenance, but if it’s been 60, 80, 100k miles, they’re not going to do much. Or they’re going to send a big chunk of carbon through the turbo’s turbine and cause bigger issues.

I actually tried the Berryman’s one on my Ranger last week after installing the Ford Air/Oil Separator. No issues during or after doing it. Didn’t even set the check engine light, but I did have a couple of misfire codes pending when I checked afterward. My truck is a 2020 with only 22,500 miles, though.

So are the cleaners now, not burning up the turbos ?

If you put it after the turbo, no

I wouldn't, like the last guy said. cutting lose a bunch of carbon (never use seafoam)can really mess with o2 sensors like it did on my 94.

If you put it after the turbo, no

there is no after turbo option. If it goes into the cylinder is comes out of the exhaust and still hits the turbo. Chunks of carbon can still cause issues there.
