ummm if they also have a MAP sensor which I don't think rangers have. Put your stock filter box back on until you can make a new intake pipe that will work with the MAF sensor

no you can't. You need the MAF In the air intake so the computer knows how much air is coming in and the temp of said air
And rangers come from the factory with a cold air intake. All those aftermarket kits do are waste your hard earned cash

How about researching before you start taking things apart and unplugging sensors. It wouldn't be on the truck if it wasn't needed or required by law.
