Ford ranger chassis problems
Sounds like the Fords from the 60's. The suspension in the front end and the shock towers all squeeked.

If this problem cant be fixed you should sell the truck and buy a chevy S10. One of my friends owns a 1992 chevy S10 rolled it 4 times it has a cracked block starter is bad 492000 miles and still going. As for the ranger i dont know what to tell you ive never had this problem before yes i had sqeeky seats in the scottsdale but that didnt mean anything serious good luck with the ranger.

The tractor gets paid off in July. After that the Ranger is getting dumped and I'll probably buy a Toyota Tacoma. No more Fords or GMs for us.

Here in PA Ranger and Explorer Suspension mounts rust to pieces and eventually let the springs fly both front coils and rear leafs. JUNK

Check engine light means there is something wrong with the emissions control system. I think you can reset it via ODBC II, but if the problem isn't fixed it will come back on. My 98 had some trouble with the vapor recovery system. Dealer kept replacing the gas cap but it didn't fix it. Turned out to be a check valve in the canister. The easiest fix is a piece of black electrical tape over the light

You can unhook the neg. (-) battery terminal. If the problem was intermittent the light will stay out. If it is a problem then the light will go out for a while but in about 2 to 10 miles the light will come back on. Try going to a Auto zone or Advanced Auto parts. They will scan your car for free and give you the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) and an idea of what it might need. In many cars now the entire system is hooked in to the check engine light. If you have a trans problem the light will come on as well as a few other systems. Except SRS and ABS. The will always have they own lights.

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?

If the code scanner shows a problem with the vapor system it's often just the gas cap. I have no idea how hard it is to change the canister since the dealer did it under the emissions control warranty on mine. Usually these are accessible and not hard to change. I think the check valve was part of the canister assembly, but am not 100% sure of that.
