I have been having a very annoying problem with the 4by4. It all started with my brakes. I was hearing a noise that my mechanic told me to install new brakes and rotors. He told me the rotors were warped and needed new ones because they were to far gone to machine. I spent $1000 for new...

I have a 2012 f150 with the 3.7 There is a 20 foot camper I am interested in but it weighs 4800lbs. My manual says I can to 5500 lbs but not sure if I believe that. I live in the prairies in manitoba so I will be towing pretty much on level ground. Any opinions? I am getting a trans cooler...

I just bought a new battery for my 2012 ford f150 3.7L. When the truck is running I am always getting a healthy 14.5 volts. But other then that when it is not in use the battery will usually read 12.0-12.1 Volts. Isn't this a bit low? Shouldn't a full battery be more like 12.4 Volts?

I bought a ford f-150 a few days ago. It has a a square reciever on the back, how do I know the tow rating for it? It's a 2012 xlt 4by4 3.7L. I installed a similiar looking hitch on my Ranger which was 5000lbs

I have been a Ranger Guy for over a decade. Started off with a 96 2.3, upgraded to a 2006 3.0, and now I hope to leap into an f-150. As a Ranger guy I know this was the forum to be for us ranger guys. I'm sure there's alot of f-150 forums but which one do you guys think is best for me to...

I am looking to upgrade from my Ranger to an f-150. I have a 3.0 ranger right now and as far as rangers go I think the vulcun 3.0 was most dependable in my opinion. Problem now is I no nothing about f-150 motors. Any to avoid? Are they all pretty good?

I am supposed to have 4 settings for my interior fan and all I have left working is the high speed. All 4 were working when I bought the vehicle. Then I lost one speed, then the other, etc. Winter is just around the winter is there a possibillity it might stop working all together? If it...

My engine starting running like shit today with a flashing engine light. I am taking it to a shop asap. I checked the engine code it said cylinder 5 misfire, and another code engine to lean. I took the spark plug out and it looked good. I just came to realise today that I have never done the...

At first I thought i was stuck on my icy driveway then realized my driver side rear wheel is locked. The other wheel was spinning but the other is locked. What can i try? I am not much for mechanics so at this point looks like I will be gettting it towed to my mechanics shop tomorrow. A few...

i used to have a 96 2.3 that had a top speed of about 143 km/hour. I then upgraded to an 06 3.0 which had a speed limiter at about 150km/hour. I am guessing the top speed on a 3.0 is about 170 km/hr? How about a 4.0? 220km/hour off the top of my head. I know trucks are made for towing and its...

Do you guys think a RWD with Tire chains is almost as good as 4by4 in alot of snow? Just wondering what guys comments would be. I have used tire chains on my RWD ranger sport and was impressed by the difference they made. Maybe comparing them to a 4by4 is a bit much. Maybe tire chains on rwd...
