I'll try today with heater controls OFF completely and see if that stops it... I had thought the AC only functioned with AC and defrost selected. Also will have a mechanic take a listen. The AC clutch went on my F-150 once, chewed up the belt (which broke and took out a cooler line to the rad)...

When I start my Ranger (V6, auto), within several seconds, I hear sort of a muffled thump... sounds like underneath, to the rear, but I know sounds can often appear to be in different locations from the cab. Is this at all familiar? Almost like something is being engaged. This is without...

I did my first Ranger oil change today, something I'm used to doing on vehicles after they exceed the warranty time/distance. Driveway mechanic version, on ramps. Have to say that the oil filter location and access on the 3.0 V6 was a surprise to me. Oil filter locations vary from great spots...

Will check on door ajar issue next rain session... drain holes are OK. Oh for the "old days" when vehicles had actual rain gutters! They served a purpose.

Took the door panel off this morning, to check things out. As Klinger86 said, the speakers in my Ranger are 6 X 8" ovals. They are marked as 4 ohm, made in Mexico, and rated as 25 watts. Nothing special, of course. "Whizzer cone", which is largely useless. BTW, perhaps more useful for some of...

I did some searching on the forum for this, but no clear answers. Have 2007 Sport model, probably normal interior for that, CD radio w/mp3. Looking to replace speakers with something better... are the speakers likely 6 1/2"? Another user inquired about the watt/channel output of this standard...

Just moved into the Ranger forum... was a member of the related F-150 forum, but my 2000 F-150 had to be sent out to pasture. Rust issues, not worth repairing, so I bought a 2007 Ranger Sport. It's a second vehicle to our car (but it's MY vehicle) and I usually put only 10,000km (6400 mi) on it...
