It's been a few since I posted. I hope all it well with everyone and their rangers. I recently had to replace the synchronizer again, 2nd time since buying this truck 2 yrs ago. So this time everything went fairly smooth, but now I have a CEL. After replacing the sycro, I drove the truck for about 20min at alternate speeds. No issues, then my daughter goes to drive it and gets 3 blocks from the house and the CEL light comes on. I clear the code, p0300 I think can't remember for certain. I know it was for misalignment of the cmp/cps. I take it for another drive.. nothing, it's working fine. This morning she headed to work and the CEL comes in again. So, I know long post, sorry.... so is this thing just a little off time or is there another issue going on?? It did stumble and rough idle when the CEL is on, but if my timing was off would I not initially get the CEL?? Also if it's close, like I think can I not just loosen the hold down bolt to turn the sycro body a little too maybe get it where it needs to be
