Everyone is running EGR coolers on gassers. Ford has been doing this for years... It's for fuel economy (knock suppression at load) not emissions and they're not going away "with better technology". Gasoline coolers are much more reliable than diesel, since they don't thermal cycle as much.
That’s what I’m saying lol idk what this guy is talking about hasn’t seen ford slap it on their cars in years. I’ve been a Master tech at ford for last 10 years. Ford been having EGR systems on gasolines
@@neorabado8990 Recently had a P0402 code in my '19 Ranger. Having heard that the valve can get mucky from the gases, and that the valve is the most likely reason for the P0402 code, I had my shop clean the valve. Engine light was off for three days and now I have the same P0402 code. What's next? Oh and I leave in the morning to pull our pop-up camper from Minneapolis to Glacier NP. Am I destine to damage the engine is some way?
Aaronwenthold - are you trying to tell me that combustion (oxygen + fuel + spark) works fine (clean) when you add combusted fuel and oxygen-deprived air back into the process?
Overall the truck is from around 2011 . That’s because it’s been out in foreign markets. Brought here in 2019. Sadly we didn’t get the diesel/manual option here in the US but I love my Ecoboost version 22k and not a single issue.
i have a friend who has a 2012 ecoboost f150 140k miles -no catch can and runs perfect..i have another friend same truck 200k miles no catch can and no problems. the only time i hear anything about them is from people who sell them,
Catch can's are great if you live in the south. They can cause destruction if you live in the northern part of the country where below zero temps are normal. Those catch cans end up completely full of moisture and freeze into a block of ice, blocking your PCV line and potentially overpressurizing your crankcase and blowing out your main seal
I have no idea what you’re talking about. As a 10 year ford master tech, ford has been using EGRs on gasoline for a long time. An example comes to mind is ford fusions, even the Lincoln’s have them
Love my new Ranger! Cmon feller. U didn't know that. These high- performance motors (truck tuned & fortified performance motors) are something else . Ford did right by these new Rangers! - NW Ohio
@@Oakleyworld Yea i ran few tanks 93 premium consecutively on our GEN2 - 2.3L TGDI ( which is basically a truck tuned & fortified race engine) an ran smoother ..its already very smooth ..an was peppier even not in sport mode! So been running ever since! Over 1yr. It's 18mos old /15k mis. Id recommend at least midgrade 89 it's very responsive to fuel grade. Love this motor.
Nobody knows how “right” these trucks are yet. They’re only about 18 months old. When folks are easily getting 200K trouble free miles like Tacomas do then we’ll definitely know that Ford finally figured out how to build a compact truck.
I just got a manufacturer specific code on my 2019 ranger it's P139C the definition is "EGR Sensor C Downstream Hose Off Or Plugged". i cleared it and it hasnt come back on for a few hundred miles so far so idk...
Go get it checked mine did the same thing but it came back my EGR Cooler & Sensor needs to be replaced I’m looking at 970$ at a ford dealer to get it fixed!
@@Jimmyxsx sounds like the 2.3 lol (but no I haven't, I was going to test the 150 but the size difference from the ranger was ALOT ) I could only imagine the 2.7 in it I would be doing burnouts and driving triple digets to get on hwys !!
Nico Five’0 a $400 tuner makes the same power to the wheels on a 2.3 that the 2.7 makes at the crank and the 2.3 is lighter. Remember it's a detuned Focus RS engine with a bigger turbo and intercooler. 325hp and 400 torque at the wheels in a 4300lb truck is more fun than you think.
not sure if you still monitor this but i got a check engine light come on and the plug is diagnostic tool said it was the egr sensor. any advice on how to either clean or replace this? i haven’t found anywhere online for this model and replacing that
72,000 on a customer's 2019 Ranger and my boss asked me to replace this EGR cooler just now. Is there a trick to this? I have 2 bolts left that Ford's "workshop" says I should access by removing the right front wheel.... but after removing the wheel I still don't see how I'm supposed to reach those bolts.
Had a tyranny flush performed on my 2019 Ranger and now the EGR sensor coded when I left the dealership. Any relationship on this service to cause this.
Guys be careful the capo mech at my shop who has been a mech for more than 30 years called a head gasket on this then when it still smoked he said the head was cracked or something, after the head came of twice I checked it, the pistons were dirty with carbon the valves were dirty , when u have a blown head gasket the valves n such are usually clean from the steam n water. I looked at the head n saw the gaskets put one n two together I asked does this have a egr cooler ? Yup I took it and filled the water channels and low and behold water leaked out the exhaust sides I can even blow thru it by my mouth n u can hear it BUT !!! This only leaks one way not both. So this just proves don’t always go for the easy answer n don’t be afraid to dig n that bs can get the best of all of us
Everyone loves these things when they are new , until it fails and leaks coolant into the combustion chamber and ruins the motor or it needs replacing $$$
Waaaaay too much crap the second or third owner is going to find impossible to fix. There is no arguing the output of these engines but the gas mileage is reportedly crap and pollution control gains are so minute they can only be measured with lab equipment. Just off the top of my head here are my engine efficiency experiences: Cutlass V8 14-15 MPG, CJ5 V8 13-14 MPG, Ranger V6 15-19 MPG, F150 13-15 MPG, Ford Flex V6 17 MPG, F350 460 V8 9-10 MPG. Scratch out the 460 big block and it makes me wonder why all of the tech if they aren't making 30 MPG.
You are correct about the 460. We had a '85 Ford F-350 Lariat Reg cab 4x2, 460cu, auto "Camper Special". Had no CATs from the factory and was easier than hell to fix. C6 Auto, no computers, pretty much bomb proof. I think I changed the dura spark module out 3 times over the 145k we put on it and that took all of 5 minutes. The Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma still seem old school-ish when it comes to motors / trans, but they seem to last longer.
Glad I got out of a Ford dealer before this bullshit showed up on tow hooks. The 2.7 ecoboom also has an EGR cooler. You had a good run Ford. You're on the decline now!
sounding sour . you a Tacoma fan? lol I tried both rather love my ford for whatever mileage than hate driving the taco for forever mileage.night and day on the difference!!
@@marioplushiecentral3441 agree. I drove the ranger and the Tacoma. I know the Tacoma will probably last twice as long, but I have never been more uncomfortable driving anything in my life. I’ll take 10 years of driving the sweet ranger over 20 years in an uncomfortable Tacoma any day.

just hit 10k miles on mine LOVE it so far ! fast and nimble to park in one space.getting 20.7 miles average on winter blend gas. 23.4 last summer.
At 65mph on the flat, unload, I can get 26mpg with my 19 ranger.
Getting 25.9 on mine I love it plenty of power
Got my 21 xlt sport about 2 months ago. I’m getting right at 23mpg. I love this truck so much. I just hope it stands the test of time.

I have a 2019 fx4. Add a oil catch can! All direct injection engines should run one.

@@1976axerhand oil is bad about dropping out of the fumes in the PCV system and collecting in the intercooler. A catch can will fix that.

I bought my ford edge 2019 Aug 2022, was driving on the highway and then overheated. Sent to the dealership and asked $1600 to replace the EGR cooler
It would be great to see a review of the Ranger with a larger turbo. The platform needs some more pep!
Its needs the 2.7L ecoboost. I dont know why ford even bothered with 4 cylinder EcoBoost.
@@Jimmyxsx why? it runs very nice with the 2.3 hadmine for 10 k miles so far its a little monster mated with the 10 speed .

196k miles in and just had my first issue. Egr problem
How can I go about cleaning the eye right now my 2019 2.3L ranger eco boost has really bad gas mileage
So would you rather have 1100 degree exhaust gases shoved back in the intake, or 300 degree exhaust gases shoved back in the intake?
I’d rather have exhaust gases shoved into the exhaust. Doi.

Every ford 2.3l I’ve seen has egr my 1988 ranger 2.3 has egr they all had them as far as I’m aware
Not the same engine.
Toyota Prius have EGR Cooler
the newer 3.6l pentastar has cooler
im sure a lot more engines gas that is has egr coolers
My 2009 2.3l has a egr.
Everyone loves these things when they are new , until it fails and leaks coolant into the combustion chamber and ruins the motor or it needs replacing $$$
Those EGR coolers are completely JUNK!!! My wife's 2020 Edge has tue 2.0 and with only 50,000 miles the EGR is pouring coolant out.
My 1994 has a egr
I can't wait for Ford 4.0 HD v6 ecoboost with 430 hp/530 lbs.-ft torque.
Have to take your front wheel off for a oil change too! That makes a lot of sense
no you don't lol
