Hi I'm new to owning a ranger. I picked up a 1999 for $800 with the 3.0 flex fuel and 4x4 with new tires. When I pulled the rear tires(alloy rims siezed on the hubs) the drums had a straight edge and looked like they had like curved divots on some spots i was wondering if this is normal?

are you talking about the chunks of metal welded on to balance the drum?

probably too late now, did you get this resolved?
my 2000, both factory and the later after-market drums did not have what you described.
pics would help.
