Look at the link called "Slip Yoke Lubrication" in the technical information post at the top of this forum.

Hi, welcome to FTE!

Yes, you may be experiencing the infamous Ranger "driveline clunk".

Here is a recent thread on the issue which also might help: Will that common driveshaft problem destroy anything?

My 2001 4x4 just had the driveshaft replaced last week. It only has 28K miles on it...done on warranty. The service writer said that it was replaced with the same shaft (steel I think) as the original, which makes me nervous that I'll have this problem again...after warranty though.
