  1. I had to laugh, the very next morning after the 36 month warranty ended.. dead battery

    All I could do was laugh, talk about perfectly planned obsolescence, although, the laughing ended when I had to pay for the new one! Ford nailed that one, maybe it has a built in sensor that fails the battery when the warranty expires. Needless to say I did not buy a Motorcraft battery, the...
  2. How many people had to take it back for warranty repairs?

    I was wondering, my is back again, fairly long list, trans, Sync, brakes, belt trim, door handle, console lid, the common ones, it's 22k now, and this is the 3rd time back. I absolutely love the truck, I would even buy it again knowing I could have some problems, it's perfect for me, hauls ass...
  3. Check your transmission fluid

    I have seen all the posts and comments about it on here before, I thought "It's working fine" and I'm not even going to crawl under there with the thick gloves and long sleeves to check it. Well it hit 116 degrees here and the trans started whine at that temp, I was about to go on a 2k trip...
  4. I had to take a pic of this Jeep when I stopped laughing

    It was parked down the street from my house all day, I just kept laughing at it, the tag axle is a straight axle like a trailer axle, small little brakes. It looks weird the way they did the rear fenders to match the rake not the bed rail, that rear axle must really screech the tires on a U...

  6. Interesting video on the Tremor, could pass for a infomercial

    https://fordauthority.com/2022/06/2021-ford-ranger-tremor-highway-and-fuel-economy-test-video/ The fuel mileage had me laughing a bit.
  7. Ford tune powertrain warranty info

    I know it was stated here before, but I figured I would put it up again. I spoke with Ford today and I asked about the warranty with the tune, he said "it's complicated" up to 36/36 Ford will cover any failure, after that, if Ford determines the failure is from the tune, it's not covered...
  8. Sync slow on startup, same for everybody?

    My sync is slow, it will not show the XM channel after startup, sometimes you can change the channel and it will change but the screen shows nothing, it's blank only where the channel image/song is, other times you can't change the channel, or you change the channel and it may or may not take...
  9. Can Ford tell who's tune has been loaded?

    I have read that Ford can tell when something has been written to the ECU, apparently it leaves a time stamp in the memory, but can they see what it is? I have the Ford tune, I had the dealer I used to work at install it, now I am considering a more aggressive tune and especially one that does...
  10. The travel link "fuel prices" jumps up every day

    I had not used it before, I thought I would give it a try, crap, in the last 4 days it has gone from in the high $4 rang to the mid $5 range, yesterday it was mid to high $6 range, with only one station in the high $5 range. Can,t wait for today, I bet I see the first $7 station. I need to buy...
  11. Window Sticker MPG, ha, just an estimate

    This is funny, unless I'm reading it wrong (read it several times) Ford Authority screwed up the info; "Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that both the Ranger and F-150 feature fuel economy ratings that are considerably higher than what the window stickers state, which forces owners to pay...
  12. DI pump noise is mostly the crash bracket

    I finally got bored enough and fed up enough to screw around with the DI pump, I have been looking closely at the pump and it's crash bracket, I started to wonder if the bracket was acting like a amplifier for the mechanical noise. So I started by pulling the crash bracket (wait, please don't...
  13. Anybody update the Ford tune recently?

    I saw that Livernois had a update, so I wondered if the Ford tune also had a update, (the Ford tune is a Livernois product, or maybe not) so I go in and I see a update is available, I update it, load it in, drive it, I'm thinking it's shifting better. I go on a long road trip, I'm running 80-90...
  14. I wonder if one of these will fit in a Ranger

    https://fordauthority.com/2021/12/ford-2-3l-ecobeast-i-4-shortblock-out-now-for-mustang-focus-rs-builds/ I want one, but that would mean all new everything else, turbo, intercooler, ported head, cams, etc, I bet the Mustang and the RS guys will get in line for them, maybe not, to build...
  15. Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

    I am posting this here as there are more views here than in the suspension/chassis section, mods if that's not cool kick me to the other category. Okay, I was out to find a set of springs that would lower the back of my Tremor (I know, be nice, I have a bad back and need the tailgate lower for...
  16. Oh boy here we go, a serious tailgate damper question

    Amidst all of the humorous damper activity........... I actually have a real question, when I load 2 bikes in the back and the tailgate is down, I have to strap the back of the bikes down so the tailgate does not bounce up and down, but it's not enough on the dirt roads, does the damper have...
