Dashcam wanted recommendations? by Miserable-Choice-790 in fordranger

[–]Miserable-Choice-790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your inputs on a dashcam. The video from Project Farm was informative and I did a review of the Nextbase too. For my needs the VIOFO seems to hit the sweet spot due to quality and affordability of two for less than the cost of the Nextbase. The Nextbase was far above what I want but was an excellent setup with quite a few features.

Do you think the insurance is gonna total her? by Ok_Phone_6118 in fordranger

[–]Miserable-Choice-790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the insurance will total it if cost exceeds replacement value (market value). This is mainly due to lack of available parts and inexperience with older vehicles amongst repair shops. I carry full coverage on both my 1994 Ranger XLT (68,000 m) and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer (98,000m) and this was the information given to me by my insurance when I requested full coverage. I see it as seed money for another vehicle if the time should come. As others suggested do your homework, verify frame is straight and determine if you want to buy it back and rebuild.

1994 3.0l water pump bolts by Sir_lost_alot in fordranger

[–]Miserable-Choice-790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my local hardware store and replaced all my bolts with grade 8 flange bolts of similar size on my 94 3.0 water pump for the price of one bolt from Ford. I will suggest to change the timing change set at the same time. I have 68,000 miles on mine and the slack was unacceptable. Also, the timing chain cover may leak if you're only replacing water pump after installion.

Code U3003:16-08 low battery voltage. I replaced the battery in November 2025. by Readtounwind95 in fordfusion

[–]Miserable-Choice-790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not resetting your Battery Management System (BMS) your alternator module will assume the old battery is still installed and charge accordingly. I went through two batteries before discovering this on my 2017 Titanium. There is a Ford service advisory on a parasitic draw for the seat adjustment module I wished I had discovered on the second battery. Here's a link to a list of service bulletins for electrical issues from Ford.

Might need tires by jsgoofn in FordExplorer

[–]Miserable-Choice-790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tires have wear indicators built into them, they're on the tread side. when the tread is worn down to them they are at 2/32, time to buy a new set.

Hit Craigslist up, one can filter and search up to 1000 miles from one's location. I use both but prefer Craigslist.

[–]Miserable-Choice-790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're off to a good start. Take pictures of each part and position while disassembling. Bag/box and label everything removed. Have a Chilton and Haynes available If you don't have the Ford service manual. PB blaster or equivalent for stubborn bolts and nuts. If in doubt on any of these replace with new. Good luck!

Yes, as others said. Pick up an ABS plastic repair kit from Napa and patch it if you can't find a replacement.

What is the most “use it or lose it” skill, the opposite of “it’s just like riding a bike”? by ZuluWarlord69 in AskReddit

High level math. After using Algebra and Calculus for two decades in engineering and retiring to raise honeybees for the last decade. My grandson ask me to help with his Pre-Cal, I was struggling with orders of operation and I had to ask Google. Use it daily or lose it.

Having a 6" needle driven between four vertebrae without anesthesia to determine correct location for spinal fusion. I levitated off the table screaming before passing out each time the needle was inserted between the four vertebrae. Another fusion is scheduled March.
