For some reason when i am below 30mph my speedometer needle jumps back and forth. But when it get it to about 35mph it stops jumping. If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.

In the early 90's Rangers, something goes amuck with the speedometer head. This is not a rare problem. I've read that there is a new revised speedometer head that cures this. Mine only does it when it's real cold out; I've just learned to live with it.
