2012 Ford Ranger

[OMD]

Djerms, that is a good move on your part. Blanking will save you a lot of money in the long run. How much charge ng Berrima?

Very slight but noticeable iprovement sa low end ang mararamdaman niyo sa blanking. Tapos significantly less smoke on hard acceleration. Experience is based on a Montero. Pero lahat naman ng crdi halos pareholang mga problem. Also planning to do this if ever we get our Ranger.

Hi ek2, on your MS did the check engine light come on after the blanking mod? And what model is it, is it the one with variable turbo already?

sorry, ot... what sizes ang wiper? is it 24 and 16 inches?

the stock on my xlt unit is 60cm and 40cm, bought a 24" and a 16" both are around 0.7cm longer than stock...

Anyone has an idea how the fuel filter is aired out? Or nakahiwalay ba ang water separator sa fuel filter? Nasanay ako sa strada filter na maualy binobomba. Eto parang walang manual pump...?

Open Water drain and switch key on. The in-tank fuel pump will start. No manual pump. Water trap is built in with fuel filter. There's another fuel filter near the fuel tank. Haven't tried it. I Just read it in manual.

Recently Ford Thailand called me to conduct feedback regarding my last PMS service done * Ford Cdo. Next day Ford Cdo wanted some explanation from me regarding the comments I reported to Ford Thailand. Hope to see changes to their (SOP)usual services.

Mga sir, i am curios and confused when to use 4H.
Sabi sa site na ito When To Use 4WD Off Road - What Does 4WD Mean - Types of Four Wheel Drive Systems

Hi Range 4WD
4H allows you to drive full speed, if necessary. The high range ratios in 4WD mode are the same as the gear ratios in 2WD.

When to use 4H:
for traction when the area isn't steep
when stuck in sand
extremely slippery conditions
snow
ice
rocky, gravel roads
gullies
extremely muddy areas
ridges

Low Range 4WD
4L is for creeping along at slow speeds. It reduces the strain on your vehicle, just remember to stay below 25mph in low range. While it does not provide more traction, it does provide 2-3 times more torque at about 1/2 or 1/3 of the speeds in high range. Low range gear ratios are approximately half that of high range.

When to use 4L:
on wet, slippery surfaces
passing through sandy areas
on rough trails
through shallow water
rock-climbing
climbing steep hills
through mud
descending steep hills


kakalito kasi sabi sa page 2.

Part-time 4WD refers to a vehicle with selectable 4x4 or 4x2, requiring the driver to manually shift between 2WD and 4WD using either a lever or a switch. With part-time 4WD, you can "shift on the fly" (switch between 2WD and 4WD while driving). Part-time 4WD gives you better traction on slippery surfaces because the front and rear sets of wheels are locked together. Thus, this is the optimum choice for most off-road conditions.
IMPORTANT: Vehicles with part-time 4WD systems should not be driven on dry, smooth road surfaces when in 4WD mode, or you will soon be spending a lot of money on repairs.

Well as long as you dont lock your diffs then you should be fine.. and our version of the ranger doesnt have diff locks.. so.... ofcourse addition wear is added when you use 4wd but that is normal.. and fuel consumption rises too..

Sir.. 4H or 4wd High range ginagamit lng po yan sir if medyo slippery yung surface, mud and medyo kelangan mo ng traction pag nag spin na yun rear wheel tires, pero yun 4L or 4wd low range ginagamit lng yun if stuck going up hills na hndi kaya ng 2wd, NOTE: NEVER USE YOUR 4H sa mga matarik na paahon kasi mabibitin ka lang DELIKADO..ilang beses ko na nasubukan ,,INUTIL ang ford ranger 2.2l sa mga paahon pag walang bwelo.. ginawa nilang mahina yun makina, di ko alam ano nasa isip ng ford ..mas malakas horsepower at torque ng 2wd. 125hp ang 4wd and 150hp ang 2wd.. npaka bagal pa sa hiway.

Bro 4x4 XL ba yung sayo?

Mas mahina ba talaga sa XLT?

Sinabi mo rin sana yung sa bedliner sir. Hehe. Im curious about what you said as well. Hehe.

Tried and tested ko na ang Ranger sa baha. Gasingit na tubig tuwing malakas na ulan walang kakaba-kaba. Di din pumapasok ang baha sa loob ng cabin. Tanong ko lang. Anong preventive maintenance kailangan pag madalas ilusong sa bahang malalim ang Ranger natin?

Definitely wash after the flood, check from time to time the fluids for contamination like the diff oil.. although thats hard to do without draining it.. hmmm what else? Relube the joint parts and bushings, regrease etc.. you could spray diesel underneath for more protection against corrotion..

Thanks OMD! I am thinking there's a breather in the differential so water might penetrate.

Braving through the flooded Espana. Good to have 800mm wading depth. Crosswind conked out here. While Nissan safari patrol was racing through the flood.

Nag feedback lang ako dun sa walang transparency ng services nila. Ni hindi ko alam kung talaga bang ginagawa o hindi ang isang job order o ginamit ang binili na shop supplies na charge sa akin na wala akong alam kung ano. If ever may sobra yun hindi nila binigay sa akin o ipakita man lang kung ano yun. O di kaya sinabihan muna ako na kailangan ang mga yun. Mali kasi yung sistema nila eh. Magulat ka na lang dahil naka charge na sa bill dahil nga SOP daw yun. Malay ko ba talaga kung kinuha nila yun na bago at hindi sobra ng mga ibang nagpaservice? Kaya kailangan kung makita kung ginawa ba nila to the letter ayun sa PMS report? Tulad ng brake cleaning? Nireklamo ko lahat yun. At ang gasgas sa driver side door sa unit ko pagkatapos ng service kinokomplain ko rin. Baka magbabago na sa susunod.sabi nila sa akin, pwede na raw ako mag check sa unit if nasa service bay na with escort lang daw.
Hindi ko lang nabanggit ang tungkol sa bedliner.Nakalimutan ko eh.
