power steering pump by bigbill42436

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD w/ a 4.0. I am wondering if it is normal to have your power steering pump constantly whining as if it is low on fluid,(even though itis full), or is there a deeper problem such as pump going out? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Help With Cabin Air Filter For 1999 Ranger by mharnisch

I went to the auto parts store the other day to get filters for my 1999 Ranger with 3.0 flex engine. The parts person looked up the filters that I needed and asked if I wanted a cabin air filter. I told him I didn't know I had one. He said that he showed one listed for a '99 Ranger, and he showed me on his computer that it was indeed listed. When I got home I checked my owner's manual and my Haynes manual and neither mentioned a cabin air filter. I then checked behind the glove box as well as in the engine compartment near the firewall, but I could not find one. Does anyone know if there is one on a '99 Ranger and where it would be?

USUALLY THE AIR CABIN FILTERS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CAR UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THERE SHOULD BE VENT HOLES AND UNDER THAT VENT IS THE CABIN AIR FILTER. USUALLY U CHANGE IT WHEN U NOTICE UR A/C OR HEAT SMELLS OLD OR MUSKY LIKE. HOPE THAT HELPED

96 Ford Ranger cuts out when accelerating by straw2gold

I have a 96 Ford Ranger with 125,000 miles. 2.3L engine. When I accelerate, regardless of RPM, the engine will cut out. If I baby the gas pedal, and I mean really baby it, I can get the truck up to free way speeds without too much coughing and choking. But accelerating normally is totally out of the question at this point. The problem seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes by.
I have replaced the plugs and wires, and the EGR valve. I have cleaned the MAF sensor with MAF sensor cleaner. Nothing has helped. A mechanic buddy of mine told me to change the fuel pump. That is expensive, so I don't want to do that unless I have too. Your thoughts please. Thanks!!!

I think Ford power steering pumps whine more than other vehicles.

I've never heard of a Ranger with a cabin filter.
 
There can be errors in the parts data bases.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I have installed a new fuel filter. I also ran a full can of BG44K, with a full tank of gas, through the fuel system.
 
Thanks.

If the symptoms return when shifting, you should check the two wires to the TCS on the shifter stalk. At higher miles, the wires may chafe and/or break on the top of the steering column where they make a right angle bend coming out of the hollow shifter. This can cause a momentary short to ground when moving the lever. Access for inspection by removing the upper column trim.

1998 ford ranger 4WD rack and pinion leaks by cuccaro

About 20,000 miles ago my ranger blew the rack and pinion seals both sides. I am now faced with the same problem. I wonder what is wrong. Is possible that the pump is over pressuring?
