Ford ranger chassis problems
Sounds logical Ken. I have a 99' ford ranger with 90 k on it & it is as quiet as a mouse, But it has an auto tranny in it. I even tried taking left & right turns on incline's after I read your pole. Nothing! Sorry  I tried for ya

Ford ranger chassis problems
You know whats funny about this ken, Now the rolls are reversed. A short time ago I was complaining about the lemon deere I owed & you were defending, Now, I own a simular item that I have had vertually no problems with that you have. First I'd like to say that there is always a lemon in every batch of every item. Ford is no worse then deere & I love Ford. I own 4 ford trucks. 2 gas & 2 diesel & they have held up well to the abuse my crew & I have put them threw. I dont think those dirt raods you often travel help any either but I am sorry to hear ya got a bad egg !

Thanks Ken & Tony! I will go to advance auto parts tomarrow. If I wasnt selling it I would just use the tape but the light seems to have been an issue with potential buyers. How hard is it to change that valve in the canister?

Ken - it has been on steady for a few weeks now non stop. it goes on as soon as I start it. I suppose I could replace the cap & see what happens. The fuel cap in this ranger is not the threaded type but just the type that clicks & locks into place. Once it is in its locked postion you cant turn it anymore to the right. Maybe the cap is worn just enough to allow the sensors to go off. It appears to be the original cap as it has that plastic that connects to it so that you cant loose the cap.
