Re: I want it gone... :(

Thanks for the advice and thoughts. I'm bringing it back in on Monday and hope to do some negotiating. We'll see what they think. Otherwise I'll let them fix it-for good hopefully-and either...

Re: I want it gone... :(

No, the oil isn't coming from here.

I suppose this is possible. Doesn't excuse the dealer selling such a pile at kbb "excellent" price.

Re: I want it gone... :(

No it had 87,000 miles on it. It was from a dealer though. They shouldn't be selling shit piles to customers.



Are there smaller bunches and therefor more bad ones with Ford?:confused:

Re: I want it gone... :(

From what I can tell, it doesn't seem intentional.

To whomever asked about a lemon law. Maine does not have one. :(

Re: I want it gone... :(

My family has owned many GMC's, many honda's, a couple Fords, and a few Toyotas. The Hondas and Toyotas only ever needed regular maintenance (timing belt when due, brakes, oil, etc). EVERY single one...

Re: I want it gone... :(

Yeah, I tightened it myself and double checked today. There's no fresh oil around it, either.

I'm thinking of asking them to take it back as a trade. I'd like to get private party value for it...

Re: Heel Toe anyone?

The trick is tapping a 2" block to your toe so you can hit both pedals.

Re: Heel Toe anyone?

I think it should got to interior tech. My heel AND toes are usually all inside the vehicle when driving.

Re: Mudding Advice

I certainly wouldn't do it if it was my only/daily driver. If it's a toy, and you can afford it, sure.

Re: Mudding Advice

Wrench all you want. A wrench isn't going to pay for part that you snap or destroy. If you're breaking things frequently then you probably don't know where the limit is and continuously surpass it.

Re: Ranger End of Life?

This is just irresponsible. If it was something stupid that didn't effect the safety of others on the road (third brake light out, window off its track, exhaust leak), then sure by all means do it....

Re: oil leak underneath, but clean up top

Could be cam shaft plug/seal. It's in the same spot though, so it may as well be your rear main seal. Tell the dealer to fix it. It was their screw up.

I just do a basic spin balance on my tires (do it personally) and have had no vibration issues.

Re: What do you think ?

He mentioned he was having trouble getting in and out of his ranger. Wouldn't an f150 be worse?

Re: LED D Cell Maglite

Everyone in my family has them. None of us have had a single issue. Mines been in water and dropped repeatedly. Sounds like bad luck on your part.

Re: Low beams stay on with high beams?

Are we sure that this is for 08+ as well though. I looked into it at one point and determined that it would be more trouble than it was worth.

Re: Low beams stay on with high beams?

My understanding is that fogs on 08+ are a pain in the ass to wire to stay on with high beams.
