    2001 5R55E transmission making intermittant horn-type sound - thoughts?

    My 2001 4WD (4.0L 6-cylinder) automatic transmission (162,000 miles) has been making an subtle, intermittant, horn-type sound (French horn or trombone) during the last 6 months. I believe it would be a 5R55E transmission. I hear the sound most easily when parked (not in gear) and the engine is...

    what are the stock speakers in a 2001 Ranger?

    I'm wondering what type of speakers are the stock speakers in a 2001 Ranger? I had the door panels off to repair the door latch linkage and saw a felt-covered speaker in the door. I did not peel the felt back to look. Is it a full-range speaker with a "whizzer cone" like is pictured in this...

    2001 Ranger key very worn - replacement?

    I've done a little searching on the General forum and didn't find any posts with the answer... How do you get a replacement key when your original keys are badly worn? Do I have to go to a Ford dealer and pay a lot of $$? Or is there a 3rd party that can create the key from the VIN number or...

    AM radio buzz, but only when moving

    I just got a used 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4. I drove it several weekends ago and noted that there was a buzzing noise in the AM radio, but ONLY while the truck was moving. The frequency of the buzz followed the speed of the wheels, not the speed of the engine. I checked to be sure the...
