ok so we went to Ford with it and it died in the parking lot there and wouldn't start. Ford calls me back and tells me that there is low compression in cylinders 6 7 &8 and wants to replace the motor... They claim they did a compression test but refuse to tell me if they did both a wet and dry...

plugs were done... im waiting for a buddy with a tester so we can see if theres pressure at the regulator

we did try to address the misfire in bank 2 we replaced all the coils in bank 2 with Ford ones and we replaced bank 1 with Napa ones the plugs were replaced with autolite plugs ( IIRC or Motorcraft ones) one other thing when you unplug each of the fuel injectors the motor runs worse...

they called into the hotline and they replaced a whole bunch of internal things and now the truck has a new trick.. it almost seems like it has bad u joints and every once in a while the drivshafts kinda slam

I consider myself to be the foremost exprt on rangers 99 up. I had a brand new 99 that i tortured for 10 years. It was a 4 cylinder 2wd longbed and i took this thing all over the country and hauled all kinds of things that the truck was not rated for... a 81 chevy on a tow dolly. a 72 cab from...

march16 2011 i believe ( according to the code on the window sticker)

im getting 16.1 at best but ive never reset the computer, and im doing mixed city and suburb driving.im at 1291.5 miles as of this afternoon

i traded in my 07 ranger on this truck because i was told that the ecoboost would beat the mileage of that ranger and give me the hauling i needed that the ranger whined about

I see on the gas filler it says no ethanol 85 or other... i thought all they sell now is E85? what effects can this have on the motor?

the thing i dont like about the 2011 is the storage in the glove box and the rear of the center seat is far from adequate

well with all the work ive been doing lately the ranger wasnt able to handle it. I love my 07 ranger but it whined about taking the baoat to the ramp, couldnt handle loads of dirt etc. Well i took my daughter to the dealership because her truck (03 escape) was acting up and i got to talking to...
