This weekend I would like to get a little work done on the truck. One of the things I need to do is change out the spark plugs. The last time this was done I had a garage do it for me as I had way to much on my list at the time. I can recall the garage mech. telling that the front 4 spark plugs...

Any news on if they are bring back the ranger to North America? I heard at one point that they were, bring the euro ranger over and calling it the Ranger F100 but yet to be seen. I talked to Sales guys I know at the dealership and he told me that, not a chance that it would be back, they want...

I have just always kept an eye on the oil level, out of habit. I have noticed for the past few months that I'm adding a little 250ml - 500ml and that just a rough guess to bring it back up to the full mark, over a period of 2month, again rough guess. So I drive about 50km one way to work on...

I have been wondering, what ever happened with the rumors that the euro-ranger would make its way over here? Did ford just give up all together on the compact trucks, they had such a good run with the ranger then dropped it like a bad habit.

I have anked a number of people, who I figured that would be in the know and I get different answers. Q - Do you need to use a special oil filter for synthetic oil? Canadian tire does sell a FRAM Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter but can you not just use a reguarl filter. I went out and pick a number...

So I was waxing the truck last night with the wife helping me. This morning I went to take some stuff to the dump and noticed that when I pull the outside door handle (with all the doors unlock at this point) the doors will lock on their own???? the same thing seems to happen with the inside...

Ok so I was told to once and while on a warm day (sunny) to try and pull out the bed liner and wash down the bed then oil spray it before putting the liner back down. I have had the truck since new (2008) and its a factory liner on it. I have never done this for a few reasons but mostly...

I once and while drop in to talk to the sales person that sold me my ranger, and the question I always ask is "whats the word on the Ranger, is it coming back?" really he always seems to dance around the question. I look for postings here and other sites, some people seem to think the...
