Okay so I have had this truck for three or so years and it as o the last year it has been giving me a lot of problems. It started out about 8 months ago where I took the truck to work and I parked in the back and turned,the truck off for a few minutes to get prepared and then it wouldn't turn back on. I called for some help while I worked and then when I got off we had found out that the smaller red wire had disconnected from the starter after taking it off and trying to install another starter and that one didnt work. Fixed her up and was good to go until a month or two later the starter started grinding and would stop working. When you climb under the starter would be lose and would have to be tighten in order to start the Ranger again. Went a month like,that until I replaced the starter and it worked well for a week or two before it just started grinding but not getting loose from the transmission. I continued use with it to get to work even through it would grind every startup until it just wouldn't start and I had a mechanic look at it after I told them that the starter and flywheel were ruined after all the grinding and they had me pay 250 for a new starter saying the flywheel should be okay. All in all they said afterwards that the flywheel was too gone, and wanted to charge and extra thousand or two to drop the tranny. I told them no and requested a tow back because I can't afford that much, but did have to shell out $650 for two tows and labor costs. I ended up buying a new flywheel and replacing it myself. It worked beautifully, and then the starter started grinding and it wouldn't start at all. I would push start it to get to work but now it just doesn't work. So please help, i,don't understand why all are my starters and the two fly wheels aren't holding up
