I am sure they are a bit misleading too. If you drive at 35mph continuously, then maybe you could get that number of miles. And I dont know how they can...
When I bought my 2001 lead acid Ranger from Blue Sky in 2006, the truck was advertised as having 60 mi range. Believe it or not, that's about what it...

I don't have an NGS, and my (NiMH) range has degraded down to 40 miles (from original 55 eighteen months ago). Is there someone in the SF bay area willing to...
I hope someone knows what the problem might be with my '99 truck so I can fix it. It was on the charger a few days ago and after about 4 ~ 5 hours the charger...
Hi Randy I've just posted in the Files section the service manual for the ICS-200 a&b. In section 5.8 they are giving a suggestion on possible cause for the...
Thanks Michel, The ICS manual tells me to do what I've done, clean and check the charge connectors. I also have a DS-200 and it just goes into protection mode...

Hi All, After studying the manuals and performing various tests, I know more. Still not certain, but I believe all the problems are in the battery pack. I...
It looks like the AUX battery is no good. Even though it's only 2 1/2 years old and Motorcraft's best 100 month battery, it's shot. And Ford doesn't want to...

Once again, my battery coolant pump is flaking out,(stops working; have to whack it with a wooden stick to loosen up the brushes...I think) so I think I need...
Hi Ray, I replaced my water pump last year with a Bosch brushless pump. It is small, quiet, and should last longer than the OEM pump. The only extra work was...
