I believe this is the wrong section for this...

But if it is a ticking sort of sound, i made a post about it because my truck was doing it. Heres the link to the topic, hope this helps.

same problem

rangers (especially 80's to early 90's) had problems with the lifters. if the oil gets dirty they will tick, you could repair the lifters, i just decided to take the opportunity to swap in a 4.0 from a 92, as i discovered that the oil pump was only sending 22 pounds of pressure adding to the lifter tick. if you can address it early do. i ran my 2.9 a bit too long and ended up blowing the head gasket right after one of my rods bent. i wish you luck.

right before your next oil change drain a quart of oil out and replace it with a quart of atf. run the engine for 15-20 minutes. atf has detergents in it that engine oil doesnt so if something is clogged up the atf MAY remove it. if not then your probably looking and a bigger problem.
