Thumbs down 04 Ranger recall

Has anyone heard from Ford yet? This could be a big one.

I hope they don't have to pull the bed off to fix it. I can't imagine them doing that and NOT damaging anything.

Yikes! Called my dealer yesterday to schedule an appt for warranty issues, but surprised that he didn't mention this.

If this is true, I sure hope the stealer will not mess up my truck too much....

Recall only affects reg. cab Rangers built between June 2 - June 25, 2004 at the Twin Cities, Minnesota plant. No others are affected. Thats the info going around on other Ranger forums.

climb under your truck and take a look... should be able to see if there is any interference between the tank and the frame... The tank will be able to be dropped from underneath...

Now thats what I call a screw-up! Mine is a reg cab but built in May so I guess I get to keep mine.

I did roll under it for a look-see and I didn't see anything that looked like it could be a problem.
