Probably the reason why you didn't get an answer is there is no such thing. You're probably thinking of the timing plug, and it reduces octane, not increases it, but pulling back the base-line timing. Dealers used to do this if you complained about pinging. Its not available on your Ranger, now dealers simply reflash your PCM.
