Hi I have a 2003 4WD ranger xlt with the 4.0 sohc engine. Only 58k miles. Was fine during the winter. Then just as it started warming up a few degrees it started up shifting really rough/jerky. It was inconsistent but I don’t think it did it in every gear. Now as the weather warmed up the...

Hello TRS! Well I've been pouring over forums and google looking for ideas. As the title suggests my 2003 ranger won't start when warm. It cranks fine. This problem has slowly been getting worse over the years. At first it was just an occasional hiccup and it would start. Years later it...

Hi, I've been reading alot of messages on driveline clunking. But the problem I have is shuddering for a second or so when accelerating from a stop. I don't hear any clunking. It only does it after the drive system has been warmed up. I have a 03 ranger 4x4 xlt with 17K miles. It appears...
