Hi, everyone. I'm taking delivery of a 99 2WD Ranger with the 2.5L engine and the manual (M50D?) transmission. I have a lot of experience with FWD cars, but almost none with RWD vehicles or trucks. I want to change all of the fluids and just make sure it's all good to go as far as it can be when I get the truck. So, I have some basic questions:
1. Where is the drain plug for the transmission, and what is the fluid capacity?
2. Is there a transmission fluid filter somewhere, or is that just the automatics?
3. How often should the rear differential fluid be changed, what is the capacity, and what kind of oil is used?
I know these are super easy questions, but I just want to make sure everything is right. Thanks a lot, and I'm looking forward to this new engine!
