ie, they made the break hoses too short
May affect a few here
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

Thanks O/B, this is my test run prior to Arhemland etc so is going to be full load, ie 60 litres of diesel and another 60 litres of water plus every thing, so think i will be getting towed out a few times

like every other issue ( like gearbox and engine failures ), Ford cant blame the owners for this one !!
Bunch of idiots - i walked into the Ford stealership trying to test drive an Everest . while there i overheard an argument between a customer and the service manager over money. Ford were trying to charge him a $90 fee for diagnosing an issue with his brand new Ranger gearbox , which failed and is what the car was towed in for. absolute assholes.
my sons bt50 is on the list too
50g odd, had the powertrain light on last week
app the dpf hadn't burnt off properly

I haven't done it (yet) due to warranty, but in Britain, so much so that they had a crack down, think Ford Transit van, believe they are very similar engines. So you dealer says your DPF is going to cost $4000 to replace it makes removing the DFF for several hundred look cheap plus you get advantage of economy and power, also reduced heat. If you want it done you will have to back yard it as there is a $10,000 fine
Some one posted that they had it done when still in warranty but dealership could not pick it up, not too sure about that but if you want more info i will know after this week end all the vivid details

Phil, worth a try?
Hi guys. I’ve just bought a 19 ‘loaded’ 3.2. My experience with trucks and DPF is to use CEM product FTC Decarbonizer. It burns the fuel cleaner at lower temps and keeps the DPF cleaner. I have started using it in my wife’s Discovery Sport as it had been a demo and the DPF Had to be replaced after 3500kms.
My DD15 Western Star has never run better since using this in the fuel. No more mad burn offs and fault codes. I run 6 trucks and the CEM products are worth every cent. I put their oil additive in every vehicle I own. Do your own research you will be impressed and you will save money!

Just speaking to a friend whom owns a Ford Ranger and is also part of the development team that designed them
Coming home from work his Ranger stopped with some horrible noises
Flexplate broke, once back home, he took an inspection cover off and the Crank Angle sensor fell out.... FFS.
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
As an aside, I know nothing of DPFs so this may not be possible, and may also be detectable, can you just remove the guts of the DPF leaving the shell in place? I remember removing the baffles in the exhaust of old DT175 way back in the day for a performance boost.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
Only tell tale signs are there is a little black smoke out of the exhaust, not detectable
The ECU (computer) has to be programmed to make adjustments, due to the ECU running "burn off programs", that is where you run into difficulties
Some claim a chip will resolve the problem but it seems a ECU reset is the go, but if you take it to a dealer, he may automatically reset the ECU and you will then have to go get the ECU unit reset again for the DPF.
Did ask the question for you last week end but the Ranger involved preceded the DPF
He is running at 8 litres per 100km, me 13.3 Litres
Don't know which state you are in but you may have to privately enquire to find some one to do the reset

Not guilty your honour. I just commented (not seriously BTWDid ask the question for you last week end but the Ranger involved preceded the DPF. FWIW I am in SA.ie, they made the break hoses too short
Actually they cause the brake hoses to break [/pedant]
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
good price on 6l of penrite oil for the ranger at supercheap atm. $38.50 pkt and of course DPF compatible. So glad I don't have a DPF in mine.
