Got the Ranger back today. It was $388.06
Replaced the receiver for the PATS and a part I didn't understand about
They said they found something cracked and it had fallen down the column. Not sure that the service guy that makes the phone calls knows what he was talking about, let alone explain it to me so I could understand what he meant. He said it was a $30ish part and they would cover the shipping. They did a good job of waking me up every day with an update and they got things done quick.
I really don't like letting anyone work on my stuff. I noticed my stereo is about to fall out of the dash. They seem to have left a couple of screws out of the adapter that holds my Kenwood in. The shifter knob was installed upside down. They seem to have tried to slap 2nd gear and pulled the knob off and then just shoved it back on. I had the old battery in the bed and found it up against the tailgate in a different location. Have a cover on the bed and a rubber mat inside. The battery wouldn't have moved without some serious driving. Seems they like to test drive the customers stuff a little too much. It's a 4cyl Ranger, why do they feel the need to hot rod it? I don't trust anyone with my stuff. Never will
I now have 3 keys that are supposed to work. Need to test them out.
The freon was dead last week and now its up and running, so they charged that for me and didn't mention it. Don't think they charged for it, so that's a plus for them.
I think the batt was unplugged for a bit and the engine needs to learn the sensors again. It was idling a little low and ran funny. I think that goes away after driving for a little while.
I noticed the truck acts really strange when turning on the way home and around town. Thought I had a wheel coming off. I checked the power steering fluid, still serviced good. Maybe a symptom of low idle at times when the clutch is in and the steering loads the motor a second??? Feels really odd. Talking about a shaking and the steering wheel wobbles.
