New to us Ranger, not new to Fords

[Summers22]

Does anyone know the size of the 2 black rubber hoses for the transmission cooler directly behind the bumper? I meant to change one when I serviced the transmission but got in a hurry. Not sure how much fluid will leak out if I pull one and take it in for sizing. Thanks, Jon

I'm late to this party.
Seems like you got yourself and your son a nice truck.
Was talking to my brother and a friend today and the friend said and I Quote:
" Ford made a mistake when they started building RANGERS. They originally was just building a truck. They didn't realize they was really building a really good workhorse. "
End quote.

Lol, uh, no. They use salt and brine very liberally here in Kansas. This is vindictive of a truck that was only driven 4k a year.

Id suggest only driving it in 3 seasons then lol.

Kansas is probably as bad as michigan about salt.

It just needs to last 5 more years, lol. This spring I'll clean and scuff the chassis, hit it with some rust reformer and then some Woolwax or fluid film. May even try the PB Blaster surface shield.

Did those steps to my SuperDuty last spring. This was the day of application, the sheen went away after about a week.
