Re: Emergency please help
If you have power to the socket, and they aren't working................. Blown Bulbs.

Re: Sloppy Shifter Problem
Well, that's definitely not good.
I'm sure that this goes without saying now... But I'd make sure that you're all they way in park and setting the parking brake when you're on a hill.

Or not.
If you're getting squealing (this is an assumption) it's either that the belt has stretched beyond use or your tensioner is shot.
Either way, if the belt is old replace it.

Re: hesitation and shutters at 1500 RPM...help?!
I don't really think it's the trans... It sounds like you're bogging down and / or have a misfire.
So first a few questions:
Do you have a CEL?
Are you having any issues at idle?

Re: cherry bomb test glasspac
If they're going on a 4 cylinder Ranger I'd say don't do it. Glass packs of any sort tend to sound like crap on 4 cylinders.
A friend of mine welded in a single cherry bomb (18" long, 2" ID inlet...

Re: Idle fluctuates low
Good point.
It's looking like cleaning the IACV, EGR valve, cleaning/replacing the PCV, and checking for vacuum leaks would be your best next step.
But I say definitely clear the code and see...

Re: Do you think i could me this setup work?
I'm pretty sure I owned that exact setup before (the larger of the two boxes).
The RF Punch series is kinda outdated, but they were decent.
IMO, one would be enough in a ranger. Keep the second...

Re: 1998 Ford Ranger XLT; shift knob removal.
... You have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT, with a four speed manual transmission, that has the reverse gate to the right and up?
That's strange.

Re: Idle fluctuates low
Shouldn't your engine not have a distributor? I thought they went distributorless.
