The truck Webideo shows in the video is a 1997 Ford Ranger XL and doesn't have programmable keys. Flagship One can tell you about any programmable keys info you need to know for the PCM if you want to contact them at their website. As far as whether the PCM fixed the problem in the truck, the remanufactured PCM from Flagship One has given off a couple error codes since it was changed so the proof that it is functioning is there, and those codes were used to fix a couple of further problems.

Glad you liked the video and hope the Flagship One PCM fixes any problems you are having.

Could you give us an update on your 2002 ranger? Did the flagship PCM fix your problem? Did you have any problems with your existing keys or did you have to get reprogrammed keys? I know you have a PATS system on that model.

@@bobcombs7138 hello! Yes, the flagship PCM helped fix the issues. Yes I had to get the key’s reprogrammed. You can either buy the programmed keys with the PCM but you’ll have to get them cut or just have the keys programmed.

@@juanitamartinez9811 Thank you for your reply!

Hello. If you can look up "Tune-up and routine maintenance" in Chapter 1 on page 1-2 in a "Haynes Repair Manual for Ford Ranger Pick-ups 1993-1999" on the top right-hand corner of the page there is a picture diagram "Cylinder and coil terminal locations--four-cylinder engines". That picture explains it all (36071-2A-SPECS HAYNES)

@@Webideo I don't have access to a Haynes manual, but I can tell you that my Chilton manual on page 2-14 under the section on "Firing Orders" shows the same misleading little diagram for the 2.3 and 2.5 L engines. It shows the wires going onto the coil pack exactly as you have shown in your video. But I have driven my Ranger over 220K miles with the wires attached to the coil packs as I described, so I believe that Haynes and Chilton both obtained an inaccurate diagram back when they were preparing these manuals.

@@sidviscous5959 Well, unless your Ranger is a different VIN then I would have to say that the diagrams used for the 1997 Ford Ranger "VIN A" shown in the video is correct and is running just fine as installed. I don't know what your Ranger is but there are different VINs that have different firing orders apparently. An online search can help if you haven't done one already. For example, look at this diagram: fordfiringorder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/diagram-wiring-diagram-de-taller-ford-ranger-2-3-gratis-5-2048x2048.jpg

How is the throttle body? Does it need cleaned inside? Sometimes a very dirty throttle body can cause this issue.

That was first thing removed and cleaned everything

Sure, well look over the recipe used to make the Meat Pies and the crust recipe is at the very bottom. The recipe is found online at: louisianacookin.com/classic-natchitoches-meat-pie/ Also, the crust can be made from pre-made pie crust dough from the grocery store if you would rather not make it from scratch.

@@Webideo thank you 😊

Could be the problem. Did the truck get flooded-high water into the engine compartment or into the tail pipe? First, I would try drying it out by parking it in the sun with the hood open for a day or two and see if it is just from the heavy rainfall. Hope you can get it back to running.

It is working just fine...

The PCM from the junkyard may or may not work. The PCM numbers need to match the specific vehicle to make sure it is the right one for your truck. If the PCM from the junkyard is used, you may end up needing to replace it again. The PCM from a remanufacturer will guarantee that it works, and it will be tested to ensure it works and they match it to the truck VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Either way the PCM numbers on the label found on the PCM will match the OEM PCM for each automobile--it is based on the VIN number... If the problem with your truck is the PCM then it will need replaced. If the problem is with something else, then the PCM replacement won't fix that.

First check to make sure the photocell is cleaned off where the window is at for the sunlight to shine on it. Sometimes the photocell is just dirty, and needs cleaned. Otherwise, has the photocell gone bad? You may need a new photocell. Check to find out if it is just dirty first, though.

@@Webideo Thanks for the reply.....the photocell is clean. Can I purchase a new one, and where can I find one?

Yes, photocells are widely available to purchase. Most all stores that sell outdoor light fixtures offer them, and they are available online. Cost is approx. $9-30 depending on the type you need. Match the type that you are replacing in your light fixture. Turn off the electricity to the fixture at the breaker panel before opening it and be careful of the capacitor because it can still have electricity stored in it even when the electricity is off. Be careful, and have a qualified electrician install it if you need to.

@@Webideo Thanks for the reply.... ;-)

Thanks for asking. The catch basin hole and pipe are compatible with either 3-inch or 4-inch ("The NDS Spee-D Catch Basin Fits 4" Schedule 40 pipe and 3" and 4" sewer and drainpipe, corrugated pipe or triple-wall pipe...") but with the 3-inch pipe there isn't a tight fit and it is difficult to caulk. Caulking isn't required if drainage gravel is placed around the catch basin and pipe where it goes into the basin--so the instructions say. I did use caulk for the input basin, though. (Silicone caulk is the best to use.) I did this by wrapping the outside of the end of the pipe and catch basin with duct tape to hold the pipe in place and then to seal the outside of that gap between them and hold the caulk in place from oozing out while it dried as I caulked it from the inside of the basin. I used my fingers to push it into place this way. In the next Webideo catch basin video the silicone caulk is shown in great detail at the very end of the video as bonus video footage ("Quick and Easy Catch Basin Installation" at minutes 9:13-9:36 in the video. I hope that this answers your question. --Webideo

The Mercury Vapor fixture that I replaced with this HPS fixture years ago I no longer have--I switched to HPS in 2018. Mercury Vapor fixtures and their parts are very difficult to find since the time that I switched to the HPS. Mercury Vapor fixtures in the USA have been getting phased out--going obsolete so the switch to the HPS or LED fixture was necessary. I like the HPS fixture, and they are not being phased out, so I chose to fix this fixture instead of replacing it with a new one when it stopped working earlier this past year in 2023. For your need--to see how to fix (wire) a Mercury Vapor fixture I could talk about it, but I don't have an actual Mercury Vapor fixture that I could show how to fix it. If you want me to tell how to wire it I could, but could you send me information about it and any instructions you have--or at least the name of the fixture, model, model number, manufacturer, etc.--then I will know more about what you need to know. --Webideo

Great.

Glad you enjoy it!
