    Inspecting a paint job

    I called today to see where they were with my truck. The owner said it could be ready by 5:30 sat evening but to call Friday at 3pm. Its gonna be dark and rainy by that time Saturday. I'm going to request that it be dry and well lit. After seeing the truck last time, I'm very concerned that...

    Inspecting a paint job

    Yeah, I spoke with the owner. Showed him what I didn't like. He told me he was really busy this week and wanted me to keep the truck. I've played that game before and i didn't let him finish. I told him no, I don't want to see the truck till it's ready for final inspection. I told him since he's...

    Inspecting a paint job

    Last minute, I decided to cancel my line x appointment fearing the bed would look like my interior instead of brand new. I dropped my truck off at the paint shop and explained that I was NOT happy with the experience so far. This was how it was presented to me. I nearly cried. It looked like...

    Does new paint have small ripples or texture while the thinners and such are gassing off?

    Inspecting a paint job

    Most of my unhappiness is in the customer service department. I love the color. As far as the paint goes im not sure as to whether i like it. It reflects like a mirror and is hard to take images up close without it flecting back. When I step back and look at the whole truck it has a chunky look...

    Inspecting a paint job

    I may have over reacted due to the fact that it wasn't finished when delivered and it wasn't washed and detailed properly but mostly because the owner wasn't there for the presentation to make sure I was pleased with the work. The unpainted places like the sides of the tailgate and the bottom...

    Inspecting a paint job

    So I drop it off for the linex bedliner and bedrails Sunday and if they do it in a timely manner like they said, ill have it back Monday evening so I can return it to the paint shop again... The only thing I'm happy with is the color. The light is not good right now. Hopefully I can take better...

    Inspecting a paint job

    Well, I got my truck back. I'm pretty disappointed. It's not finished. Where do I start..... Sides and the bottom of the tailgait didn't get painted. They forgot to paint the backs of my mirrors. Paint looks like the skin of an orange. Small defects in the paint in a few places ( little hard...

    Inspecting a paint job

    Ugh!!! The emergency brake cable is giving them trouble. It snakes through and takes a bunch of turns and ends under the dash. I guess its a pita. I will have it for sure saturday. I could have waited for it today but they want to detail it first. Its friday the 13th. Everything else is on and...

    Inspecting a paint job

    After I read this I looked at a few 2003 fx4s on the web that touted the sonic blue and it does look simmilar. I agree, sonic blue is a great shade of blue. So when i stopped by the paint shop I asked about how they came up with the darker shade, if it was indeed sonic blue or a darker vista...

    Power window

    When I replaced my electric lock actuators I found some very good videos on YouTube. I was able to pause and rewind the trickier stuff. It surprised me to find videos specifically for a ranger. It sounds like you've been searchng it up, have you found any videos?

    My 2009 ranger suddenly overheat

    Greetings, Does It do the same using defrost? I'm curious because your assumption is that it's related to the a/c. Defrost runs dry air using a/c too. Are you trying to determine why it overheated or if the rattling noise was the a/c? If I sound stupid maybe one of the smart guys will reply with...

    Need new 60/40 seats for my ranger edge

    If you buy a new set they will probably be a cheap aftermarket version of the oem seats. Getting your original seats redone will be much nicer, I think. After a quick Google search, new aftermarket seats, the cheap ones are $550. A used set $190-390. Seat covers $190-225 for the front row. $95...

    Inspecting a paint job

    Any concerns I had about inspecting my paint job have been put to rest!! I was invited to drop by the shop and view it one more time today. The shop owner grabbed me from the lobby and nearly drug me back to my truck. Now, its still has some of the smaller stuff that needs to get put back on...

    Inspecting a paint job

    I called today and the box is on and the new wishield installed. There are a few small parts left to paint. I know it's an awful long time to take to paint my truck, but I think the owner is doing my truck himself between small collision work. It is killing me being without my truck, but im not...

    Ignition key question

    Your key should have a chip in the key. If you take the cracked one to a locksmith they can extract the chip and install it in a new key and cut the key to match yours. Mine cost $65 a couple years back. It was cheaper than buying a new chipped key and syncing the new chip to the truck because...
