What did YOU do today?

Went to a flea market & walked around there for a couple of hours, this weekend is a big yard sale weekend so checked a few of those out. Mowed again & got the bush hog out for the area between the yard & the fields. Put some old (92) center caps on my escape. All 3 vehicles need washed now, feild work on all sides of me & its windy today. Think i may try my dirt scoop tomorrow.

Changed a couple seal on the transmission of my fathers F150. Was leaking enough they wouldn’t pass the inspection and he couldn’t get anyone to do it because Automatic transmissions are black magic voodoo.

Wasn’t that bad.

Worst part was refilling the pan with oil. Doesn’t have a dip stick, so you fill it from a port in the side next to the car.
You have to check the level from the same port, while it’s running, next to the cat

The 2019+ Rangers are almost as bad. Instead of the cat, you are next to the flex pipe and have to wear a glove in order to not get burnt. A couple companies make and sell a dipstick tube for the 10R80 transmissions in the Ranger. The same tube might work on the F150.

Ford Ranger Transmission Dipstick

2019-2023 Ford Ranger Transmission Dipstick to replace the OEM 10R80 dipstick plug. This makes it MUCH easier to check the fluid levels as well as top off if necessary. Includes clear vinyl tube adapter for Funnel.

I can't find the link for the other one but it is about twice the price of the one above.

new tires for the 2019 Edge. the factory tires still had some tread left, but are 4-1/2 years old and now suspectable to hydroplaning.
then took the '05 Rangers front right tire off a known bent wheel and mounted it on a suspected good wheel.
skipped balancing, put beads in it instead.
