OK
my 1994 Ford Ranger 2.3l is at the garage right now.
 
The mechanic just called and said the "relay" was rattling, and showed signs of overheating, so he replaced it.
 
Hopefully this will solve the problem of intermittent fuel pump failure.

Would anyone happen to know the part number for the drive shaft replacement on the extended cab rangers?

Clunking on clutch disengagement by kelhogg
Mar 05, 2001 (1:27 pm)

I bought a new 2000 Ranger four cylinder, 5 speed in late '99. About 6 months ago, I noticed that once in a while, there was a clunk when I disengaged the clutch before coming to a stop. It only does it about once in every 4 or 5 stops. The dealer let me test drive a new 2001 Ranger equipped exactly the same, and the new one did it too. They said there has been no tsb issued for this problem. The driveshaft has been removed and the spines re-greased with teflon grease, but that didn't make any difference. Otherwise, the truck is perfect. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Electrical problems galore by careyb1

I have had my Ford Ranger for five years and have during the last two years had multiple electrical problems... a seat belt alert beeper that won't go off, a windshield wiper that comes on in the middle of the day, a light that won't go off and now a heater that works sometimes and doesn't work other times. Anyone else seen this?

Tranny problems by lex1374

I have a 2001 a/ 3.0L V-6, 4-speed automatic 4x4. When I have a cold start my overdrive light flashes and tranny will not shift out of 2nd. After I turn the truck off and re start the light stays off but the shifting into 3rd is very harsh and no overdrive?? My truck has been at the dealer for 29 days now!! The dealer tells me maybe 3 or 4 weeks Ford should have a tranny re program available, in the mean time keep the stop and re start program going. Any info or help. I have done a fair amount of research but any info will be more than welcome. PLEASE help me. Thanks a lot.

Problem with interior light by btaggart

I virtually guarantee that it's the switch on the passenger side door. I had a Dodge Intrepid - same problem. Turned out the little plunger switch was not quite long enough, so I drove a screw into the end of it, effectively lengthening the switch by the thickness of the screwhead. Worked for 100,000 miles afterwards...

1999 Ranger potential purchaser by sasquatch_2000

Hi. I'm new here.
 
I am looking at a 1999 Ranger king cab 4X4 for 15,900 with 33,000 miles. 4.0 litre engine, auto transmission. Does this sound high to you?
 
Have there been any problems with this truck?Anything problem areas I should look for/at/on this vehicle?
 
Also, the truck has 245/75R16 tires on it. Can you install bigger tires on stock rims? What is a bigger (taller) size for these? How big before needing a lift? What is a good lift kit for these for under $500-600?
 
Thanks in advance.

Rough Idle by bobhoh

Hi. I just purchased a 1999 Ford Ranger Standard Extended cab pickup. Since I have had it I have noticed that it idles very rought, sometimes "shuddering" at lights to the point that the whole car wiggles. I have been told by the dealership that this is NORMAL for this pickup and that the computer shows no problems with it. Does anyone know if this is common for this vehicle? I don't want to keep taking it back to the dealer if it is.
 
Thanks in advance for any and all advice of this problem.
