Well I'm not really sure it's top gear (6th) but it's a higher gear, it changes just on 60kph, it maybe 5th. I'll try it in S mode then I'll know which gear for sure. When in sport mode it will be different gear compared to normal, just drive it normally and when it changes at 60kph then put it in ...

Well maybe your auto should be reprogrammed if you are getting top gear doing 60kph.

You should not be in top gear doing 60kph which will cause the engine to labour which also may cause vibration in your driveline, I find my ranger will sit between 4th & 5th gear at that speed.

Jaycar electronics sells split loom tubing in various sizes, this is one example, https://www.jaycar.com.au/25mm-loom-tube-2m/p/HP1801?pos=4&queryId=20bd9d3b026afd7ad05f009d8db4b937 You can purchase convoluted tubing which is another name like Jayco's product from any automotive stores such as Autob...

V6 will be better for more heavy towing but will be thirsty for urban driving where the Bi Turbo will be more economical to run but still quite capable for most towing.
Both good engines whichever you choose.

Cannot help you with steel snorkel however never seen any plastic snorkels fade unless it was some ridiculously cheap chinese brand, I have an Iron Man brand that still looks good after being installed ten years ago.

Thermostat or blocked radiator will be two areas to look at. With my ranger I had issues of rising temps when towing in hills, I swapped the thermostat with no improvement and tested the viscous hub which was showing ok under test, but I still doubted it was 100% ok, so I changed it which rectified ...

Hey Diomac.. I appreciate this is a bit old but any chance you could repost your PX11 workshop manual link .. the original is broke kind regards Letting you know there is nothing wrong with Diomec dropbox PX11 workshop manual link, I just checked and was able to download the manuals today as I was ...

Cheap throw away item, as said not hard to remove and replace.
Oh, try remove the rivet type compared to these, I know what I prefer.

Sent you an email.

Sorry what is oil pan expansion, do have any photos of this?

I found with some engines I worked on there might be a slight carbon build up on the piston bore creating a slight lip which prevents easy removal, I found if you work (move) the piston up and down it will eventually free itself from the bore.

I'd be checking you brake light switch on the pedal, might be out of adjustment, loose or defective, could be a loose wire loom connection.

The last time I got fuel connections was through Supercheap auto when I added a secondary fuel filter but not sure they will fit the ranger oem fuel lines, my opinion you are most likely break the oem fuel lines trying to change them over.

Maybe you should ask this question at Stewart's website as he would most likely know.

Peter, sounds like a transmission sensor or electronic board is failing, you be better off talking to a transmission repair/service business for advice as it sounds like your local Ford dealer are a pack of numpties who have no idea except to know how to rip you off. I can understand the faulty neut...

Welcome back to the forum, this link will explain why you and many others were deleted.

Hopefully many more k's to come; my brothers ranger is fast approaching the 300,000k mark.
Cheers.

If the BCM has locked out the lights it will need a reset.

Great idea send off a message to Simon and Admin with your request as this function is out of my hands.
Matter of fact if members of this group send messages of this request you may have your new Gen section which is warranted in my opinion.
Cheers

Nice rig and "No" you did not go the wrong way about it in my opinion.
Anyhow welcome to the forum, you will find the members most helpful with any question in regards to your ranger.

Cheers

Thanks Trublu, how did u go with getting the wiring onto the Dash? thru where? Take off the windscreen pillar cover and you will have heaps of room to bring your cable up from the lower kick panel area, once cable is through then put pillar cover back on. In my ranger I have a clip on mirror revers...

You can run from rear via chassis rail then enter under drivers seat which has a rubber grommet entry point then up to you dash via the sill under the plastic sill covers , the cable under the ranger can be protected by convoluted tubing and attached to chassis rail by plastic or metal cable ties. W...

I do a lot of towing and find the Ironman helper springs do the job for me (220Kg tow ball weight) my ranger is a hi rider and I will agree with rustfree comments if you are into 4wd driving I would not use them as you run the risk of hitting your chassis, as for harshness they will soften out after...

Thanks Trublu, was not aware there was a manual available for all Rangers on Fords website. Thought that wouldn't be readily available - only to Ford dealers. Will have a look at it -appreciate the feedback Yes it is real bummer when then Ford does not notify owners there is reference to adding acc...

Hi Grant, thanks for the info but if you refer to to the last pdf brochure released from Ford for the T6.1 Ranger released for the last MY-21.75 platform and refer to the most common double cab XLT pick-up and Wildtrak variants the published payloads are 1003 kgs for the XLT in 2.0 litre engine & 9...

Hi mate, keep away from the fuse box under the dash is my recommendation. Had a Ranger canopy fitted recently by a professional company that required constant power for the rear console lighting. They wouldn't touch any of the existing electrical fuse boxes and tapped directly from the battery. App...

Something different but looks neat.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum, I like the looks of your rear dual wheel ranger. did you purchase it like that or had it modified?
Cheers

No longer available sounds like BS, Ford are still building and using these 6 speed transmissions. You will find dealerships do not want to stock parts for aging vehicles and only keep up with newer models; this is what I was told years ago by friends in dealerships. I've actually witnessed a few t...

Could you elaborate on trailer problems? You mean even a brand new one can breakdown ? Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk It would be better if you elaborate bit more as to what terrain you intend to travel, light trailer will be ok for any dirt road that any 2wd vehicle can traverse, if you inten...

If you're only doing minor offroad distances and not difficult terrain, then a light duty trailer is an option. Trailers like you propose are not dustproof or waterproof (river crossings), though if your dirt road distances are short, that might not be a major problem. If your offroad distances are...

Those heaters work quite well, I hope you have a very big tent otherwise it may get too warm for you if for a small tent.

To all concern what I will say is I take no pleasure whatsoever in banning or removing members from this forum, if any this course of action only happens after repeated warnings when members don't heed advice to follow the forum guidelines.

Slow death is pretty accurate. Not member numbers that I can tell, just level of contribution by a large number of people have slowed or stopped completely. Why, can’t be bothered dealing with the backlash when people get offended. Easier to bite your tongue, shut up and add little in assistance, j...

Linc was banned for a few reasons which will remain confidential, but I will remind members here to follow the forum guidelines & rules for everyone's benefit.

D-Ranged was a very active member right up to 30th Sept 2021, he will be dearly missed from this forum.
My condolences to his family and may he RIP

The nonsense stops when people can accept other peoples explanations when questions are asked instead of harping on.

Have any luck fitting it up mate? im speaking to ford as we speak i have a 2012 2.2 with 170,000 on it and am going througn the same thing, Im scared to drive it at the moment and fear ford will likely throw me to the gutter.
