Should I install a boost gauge on my 2008 pj?
No, no need, they’re an entirely throw away turbo. No adjustment, no maintenance, absolutely no need. They’re cheaply put together but absolutely perform the task they’re designed for, very much like ...
Read morethe rest of the vehicle. They do age however and If you’re a budding enthusiast, knock yourself out, you’ll enjoy the ride and learn on the way. I’m also guessing you’ll be in a different truck before you know it. Good luck, GLC

I have a 07 Ford Ranger 3.0td and my check engine light come on and is running in limp mode80% of the time. First drive of the day runs fine for 20 min or so and sometimes runs fine after stopping and starting engine again. I have had it plugged in for faults and had to replace map sensor and throttle sensor (in cab under accelerator pedal) and maby one other sensor along those lines. Had to plug computer in and adjust throttle sensor a few times and clear faults until it seemed good. Ran good and no engine light for about 2 days then back to limp mode and engine light on. As I said first drive of the day when driving it runs okay and isn’t limp mode but engine light on and under boost is a bit spluttery. I’m no mechanic but I feel turbo may be gone? Anyone with any helpful advice or suggestions ect would be greatly appreciated cheers

Hi experts and ford ranger owners on this page.
We have stupidly lost our only set of ute keys, god knows where they are- just vanished we think maybe thrown out with Christmas rubbish, what can I do to get another set?
Contact Ford and ask for key easy as that cost might be a bit high or a locksmith that can reprogram key to ute
Hi I have a 07 ford ranger 2wd
I'm slowly losing coolant. I checked coolant reservior and radiator and found a bit of oil sludge. I cleaned and flushed and have not found anymore sludge since. Truck isn't over heating or miss firing, it runs fine. Have done a TK test on radiator and it was fine. Removed engine cover to find coolant slowly pooling around 2 and 3 injectors. I have heard it could be a cracked head. But I'm not sure about that as it doesn't have common cracked head symptoms. Any ideas?
Thanks

2007 ford ranger, cleaned my air.filter now she won't turn over, any ideas??
Hi Jake, not turning over, start with the battery, how is the charge, when was the last time it started? Did you disconect or damage any censors like the MAP? Censor on the airbox, maybe it won't start without abase reading. Good luck..

You can listen with a piece of garden hose say 500mm long at each injector that will tell you if leaking that’s how I did mine, found 2 leaking, must be careful that copper washer is on injector correctly use a little grease.to hold when inserting, blow hole out to make sure no dirt there. If this not problem get turbo boost checked, make sure you did not mix up injectors if did go to diesel injectorspecialist. Cheers Peter
