problem #2

Ranger XLT 2.3L

  • Manual transmission
  • 187,000 miles

Happens again after one drive if you don't clean its perfectly (atleast $100 of 4.99 brake cleaner) then it might still spin the bearings its better to just get a new engine or car.

problem #1

Jul 162007

(reported on)

Ranger Edge 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles

The engine pings at approx. 2500 rpms under load with any grade of gasoline. I'm growing tired of the noise and will take it in to see if I can get it repaired but have my doubts. It sounds like it might be an e-prom issue, not mechanical.
