still no help to me it just says its normal that dose not re asure me and my truck is parked on the street and i don't have the tools or the phicilitys to do a drive shaft removal a reinstall or the money to take down to ford

and another problem why do i slide and peel wheel in the rain the last rain i did a 180 tring to turn right under light acceleration or spin my tires after coming to a complete stop at a light and lose traction on the right going up a 19% grade hill or any hill. it only spinning the right wheel. my old 84 f-150 never did this

For the slipping problem, your Ranger is much lighter than your F-150. Even my dinky 2.5L spins the tires if I give it even just a little too much gas.
