I broke this one and would like perhaps 2 to replace the ones challenged when I changed the door lock cylinders in my Ranger 1996 XLT. Used is fine, just not too expensive ... on a developing artist's budget.
I've looked many places, except our local PicNSave ...
Thanks goes to mfernandes in...
I took it back a final time and they say nothing is wrong. It had stuck one final.time in my driveway, but hasn't done so since.
My parking break pedal does feel like it is stressing when applied, maybe going to break. I replaced it several years ago after the metal pedal broke off from use...
Thx ... Makes sense to me. I'll pass that along tomorrow evening when I drop off the truck for an overnight test/stay. They suggested I bring it back and leave it ... To try and reproduce the overnight issue ...

Getting it repaired next...
Went with our local Ford Dealership and their "FastLane" shop. Seemed reasonable.
You mean my Ranger's not gonna last forever?
Who ever heard of such a thing ...
Lol
Been told I need new brake cylinders and drums. Adding fluid each week or so maintains working (?) brakes ...
Who and what's the best way to handle this? Local dealer says parts no longer made by Ford, need generic brand. What's the options here?
Engine also has strange sounds. Dealer exam...
