Was driving on the highway today at like 65mph and I was in a gradual turn and hit a bump and the truck began to have severe death wobble. Like the death wobble you see on YouTube of Jeeps and Super Duty trucks with solid front axles. It did not stop at all until I came to a stop on the...

02 Ranger XLT Supercab 4x4 4.0 5R55E. Inquiring about 2 different exhaust heat shields. The first one is the one that goes along side the transmission over the servo covers. I have seen videos of them but mine does not have them. Did they only come on certain model years? Also, I recently...

When performing a trans service a few weeks ago, I found the blown out separator plate gasket that is common with these trucks. So I ordered the new bonded separator plate and new blow off valve/retainer from Ford. Went to install it today and have ran into a few odd issues. First being that it...

So, update. I ended up pulling the headliner down in the rear and found a leak coming from the rear glass. Both top corners. Pulled the interior and headliner and had the glass company install new butyl tape on the rear window. I watched him do it and seems it was done correctly. Surfaces were...

So today it was raining pretty hard out, and I got into my truck and noticed the driver rear bottom part of my headliner wet and a drip starting to form. I've been battling water leaks in this truck for a while. At first, there was a leak in the center of the back glass (up by roof) Pulled the...

The insulation on my EGR tube was falling apart, so I planned to pull it and put some heat wrap on it since I had plug wires real close to it. When I went to take the lower part off, I noticed the tube was rusting pretty badly, so I just ordered a whole new tube. Was cheap enough. I had...

Wondering what is the most effective and best way to protect my truck body, rockers, truck bed in general, pretty much any sheet metal on the truck from rust. I got the frame taken care of. No rust in the fenderwells or rockers at the moment. There is some rust present underneath the bed, but...

After like half a year of procrastinating, finally decided to do my front suspension rebuild. 5 days before a family vacation, lol. Had all the parts by January, but it was cold, then work got busy, and I put if off. Took around 3 days, had to wait for emergency parts for 2 days, then 1 more day...

I plan to tow a rental tow-behind boom lift soon. It's weight is 4,800 pounds. Truck specs is 2002 Ranger XLT 4x4 4.0L 5 speed auto 4.10 LSD. I have a Class III hitch, trailer brake controller, and all the wiring going from the controller to the plug in the rear from the previous owner. I'm...

It started about a year ago. I don't drive at those speeds alot, so I didn't try and fix it as soon as it happened. No affected by throttle pressure. Happens from 65-75 regardless if I am coasting, cruising, or WOT. I can definitely feel it in my seat and pedals. Truck is stock.

Do not know if this is the correct forums for this post. So I have a vibration in my seat/pedals from about 65-70'ish. I've done the following to try and fix it with none of it working: Had someone balance them, still vibration. Won't matter in the next test I did Jacked up the rear and drove at...

Digging up an old post. Turns out, it was bad front wheel bearings causing pieces in the dash to rattle. Replaced the wheel bearings because they were bad, and all dash noises went away

No, it does it with climate control on or off. Heat and A/C. Used to do it only with A/C, now it does it with A/C off. Also found it does it with Heat the other day. Yes I am sure, lol It's a 2002. I've actually had a leaf get into the blower before, lol

I have a strange dash noise. I haven't been able to record it. The only way I can describe it is as if there's a mouse inside the dash scratching real quickly. I obviously don't have a mouse in my truck. It's not consistent. It used to be only when the AC ran. Now it'll start doing it like 2...
