I don't see the point of plug in hybrids. It seems to take the disadvantages of EV and ICE and combines them. If I need to plug the thing in, just give me a full electric. Otherwise an ordinary hybrid would be better. PHEV just has one more option to plug into charge over HEV vehicles, to be honest...

Would not be the first time, they had something similar years ago.

Hey mate look in the electrical section as I'm sure there is wealth of info to operate a relay when ignition is on.

We did Tassie in hire sedan a few years back - the cost of the ferry put me off a bit when we went back with a van Beautiful place Must get back there one day - not sure about towing though ;) hard to pull over/stop/turn around Just googled and found this link - funny, they talk about "Brake Burner...

Know what you mean about the Gillies We did a day trip leaving the van at Cairns Kuranda, Mareeba, Atherton then down the Gillies - its just went for ever and ever Half way down there was a sizeable van stopped dead, right on a tight bend causing all kinds of problems for traffic coming up and down...

Just seeking a bit of advice on an issue mentioned in previous posts When I was on that Talbingo descent I was trying to use engine braking. Pretty much ineffective as the Ranger and rig would just pull away and the revs spin higher I dont think I ever got down to 1st gear (maybe for a few seconds)...

Yes Talbingo is a steep one, and as you say very limited opportunity to pull over. I hope you sorted out the van brakes as well when you got home. When going down long steep descents I like to adjust the van brakes to apply just a little more braking than the Ranger. That way, the more capable brak...

I have had my 2012 XLT auto since new, only mods I had is snorkel, fuel pre filter and some overload helper springs, rest of ranger is stock standard; I have towed my caravan (1.8T) all over Australia roughly doing about 60,000ks in the 11 years of ownership, ranger has not missed a beat. Just drive...

I’m having the same problem with mine (330,xxx 2012 auto) I’m going to follow up the bypass valve now. I just replaced turbo and injectors thinking it was to do with that. How did you figure out it was the bypass valve and how much did it cost to fix? So Carlin, what was your issue? Mine the same s...

I'm surprised to hear 5 watt globe for indicator, should be 21 watt, can you replace with a 5/21 watt globe connector base?

I find the prices can be a hit & miss with dealerships, don't know if you remember but when the rangers were first released some had issues with oil filter housings leaking, my one was replaced under warranty in the first 12 months of ownership. I knew of at least 3 owners who suffered the same fate...

The body control module will detect a different resistance if you fit extra lights, this will trigger the BCM's circuit protection, this is why they disable the lights when adding the bar. The BCM runs a solid-state circuit protection system that monitors the load and resistances of the vehicles el...

You will find with any bull bar that is fitted to ranger or everest that has indicator lights then the vehicles oem indicators will be disabled in accordance with ADR.
Your guy who does RWC is wrong with his assumption.

Read the link carefully as it does mention in the article "Electric over Hydraulic for trailers with electrically actuated hydraulic braking systems" https://www.ford.com.au/support/how-tos/more-vehicle-topics/towing-and-trailers/trailer-brake-controller#:~:text=Available%20on%20Ranger%20%26%20Evere...

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 ...

saum2 wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 9:10 pm Thanks Trublu, but when in auto it does what it does. The dealer didn't ask questions, just "no issues-goodbye"

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.

I canot send to every person individually.. possible I can send to someone and they can upload as a sticky at beginning of thread or some where else.

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.

Simon wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 2:05 pm Has anyone looked into disabling the stop/start feature on the new V6 diesel Ranger yet ?

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...
