    How to: Front Upper Strut Mount Replacement - 5th gen

    Got the notorious "Twang" sound coming from my Ex when turning the steering wheel, so it was time to replace strut mounts. I know others like to do a simple quick strut replacement, but I've seen issues with non-OEM struts and springs and nothing was wrong with my originals, so I went with just...

    Rolling/Surging Idle w/ AC On (TSB 15-0149)

    I think I understand the issue related to TSB 15-0149. See video below for my thoughts. Here was a video I made before (Oct 2015) showing the issue but the dealer just said it was a little low on Freon, still seemed to have the issue and then I found the TSB (of course after the warranty...

    How to: New Forscan Update Allows Module Programming

    Mod: Don't know if you want to leave this in basic forum or move to MOD section. Kinda gray area since its essentially changing OEM settings. Don't usually do disclaimers but I feel this one needs it. DISCLAIMER: The content listed is for modifying existing code in your control units. You do...

    Power Liftgate Speed

    How long does it take for your power liftgate to actuate either up or down? I'm seeing about 7.5 seconds on mine. I've seen most other vehicles (non-explorers) at around 4-4.5 seconds.

    Roof Rack Noise

    So my 2013 has a squeak sound coming from the roof area when hitting bumps or flexing the unibody. Took the roof racks off and drove around and the sound went away. When I grab the racks and move them side to side at the mounting posts it seems like the bottom plastic bases are sqeaking...

    Been on here because of owning a 2000 Ranger for the past 15 years, but because of our 3rd child on the way we need something bigger than my wifes 2002 Mazda Millenia. Been looking for the past 2 months, kept expanding my search radius. Searched for a 2013+ limited with 302a and sunroof with...

    Transgo 4r44e/5r55e question

    Few questions about the intermediate servo orifice that is installed into the tranny casing: How many people did this? What does it do/fix? You adjust the band according to the instructions or do the 10 ft/lbs 2 turns back adjustment?

    Fluid Pump Allignment/ Torque Converter Rub

    So I'm in the middle of putting my 4r44e back together and I'm following this video to align my fluid pump. Problem is the video shows it moving so smooth, but when I do it the bellhousing rubs on the torque converter. This is before the fluid pump is inserted and also after the fluid...

    4r44e Jerk when shifting 2-3 (flare?)

    Recently after a fluid change (just dropped pan and replaced filter), my truck shifts hard from 2-3, and jerks. 1-2 and 3-od are smooth as butter. The hard shifting occurs from 1/3 throttle and on. If I let off the throttle to less than 1/3 before the shift, it is fine. No codes, not even...

    Autodimming Autolamps Slider Switch

    So I put in one of the round versions of the autodimming/autolamp mirrors on my 2000 Ranger. Its the one with no buttons, just the slider switch. The only problem is that the slider doesn't really work to well. It won't switch off until pressure is applied to the switch to the the left and as...
