I hope you enjoy your new Ranger. I own both vehicles a 23 Maverick Tremor and a 25 Ranger XLT. Both have pros and cons depending on the individuals needs. Both vehicles perform well. I said it before on this forum I like each vehicle but I favor the Ranger. You would not think this but both...
I guess that would work for many individuals.. I was not concerned about the mileage at the time I purchased it being I don't have to travel any long distances anymore.
The numbers are impressive however as an owner of a Maverick Tremor and a Ranger XLT in my opinion the Ranger was a better deal even if it cost a little higher. Both trucks perform and run well.
That would be clearly be visible 3/4 of the ball joint shaft would be sticking down and you would have a big gap between the spindle assembly and the lower control arm. You can't install the pinch bolt unless it's lined up with the groove. If partially installed then the bolt can't be inserted...
I believe the issue here is whether the pinch bolt is torqued correctly. The pinch bolt can't be inserted if the ball joint is not seated correctly into the spindle do to the machine grooved on the ball joint shaft. A design that Ford has been using for years. I did not here of any talk of...
It looks okay however I think you need to check the torque spec. I check mine it was tight and the pinch bolt was okay. With the torque wrench I hit well above 85 FT pounds. You will need a Torx Plus bit 55 and a 18 mill to check it
Has anybody on this forum actually receive a recall letter or an email from Ford? If it was that serious you would think you'd get a notification from Ford not from a news agency on television.
Congratulations on your new Ranger I too have a Maverick and a Ranger XTL. Both are nice trucks. My guess is that in time you will like the the Ranger more then your previous Maverick. Both have it's Pros and cons. I'll see you on the Ranger G6 Site soon.
Sawzall will cure that problem. Or cowboy boots. LOL I agree with you. I don't care for that leg lift I have to do when I step out of my Maverick. My Ranger is easier to step out of.
While I stored my maverick in the garage over the winter the little critters got in my Maverick. An awful smell was emanating from the vent behind the back seat and I had to sniff it out. I believe the mice got in under the vehicle. The vent itself can't be taken out inside the cab but can be...
I would definitely try the Ford dealer. I purchased motor oil from them it was the same price as Walmart. And I had an open container with the seal missing with the Walmart purchase. Maybe it might cost more at the dealer however your getting the real item.
