Hey yall, just picked up a 2011 Ford Ranger RC w 6 ft bed. Alright, maybe the title is a bit misleading. I bought the truck for my little brother and I'm still keeping the Tacoma :) but before my brother comes to pick it up, I get to drive it around! Lovin it so far, this ranger brings me back to my 2000 frontier with the manual windows and 5 speed.... so much fun. Excited to be a part of this community! Anyways, I'm looking to do some maintenance on it since the last owner didn't keep any records. Any suggestions on what to do? Got just under 60k miles on this bad boy. So far I've got planned:

Oil filter/oil change
Radiator/engine block flush and fill (coolant)
Engine air filter
Tire rotation

transmission fluid still looks nice and red, so I'll probably hold off on that. Brakes and tires look good as well, so won't be replacing those. Any other suggestions - fluids, fuel filter, lubrication, retorquing? Thanks yall!

 

Welcome to the forum

Nice looking Ranger

Remember to reverse the heater hoses at the firewall after the flush, or before
Same on the Taco, or any other vehicle, you should do this every 2 years or so to keep heater core cleaner so it lasts longer
Back Flush while you drive

 

Wasn't aware you could do that, thanks for the advice!

 

Good looking Ranger, TidyWhitey!
10+ year old vehicle, unknown maintenance records,
