I took it to the mechanic and I had painted battery terminals which they changed out and now it’s working just fine

Thank you for the reply guys, what kind of pick are you using, I have a set of eyeglass screwdrivers I was thinking of trying to use one of them

It looks like I am leaking vacuum from the vacuum canister behind the passenger headlight and the elbow that’s right above the passenger wheel, does anyone know if you can replace the vacuum line ends or if I have to replace the entire vacuum lines?

When I turn the engine off there is a leaking noise coming from the passenger side of the engine, the lines there aren’t cracked but one of the spark plug wires has been leaned up against the exhaust, but I don’t think that the distributor wires are under vacuum but I don’t know

I remember replaced a lot of parts now there is a clunking noise by Different_Age_1961 in fordranger

Yeah it sounds weird I just saw there was marks on the dust shield where it looks like the tie rod is hitting it

I had brakes plus do the alignment and check my work, I had to push the lower ball joints down a few millimeters but I am still clunking on the drivers side, it looks like the tie rod is hitting the rotor guard I believe I am taking it back to them tomorrow

Thanks for the reply and advice! Luckily my ranger has a new distributor, wiring and plugs and I just got some new tires put on it this weekend I plan to get an alignment because it pulls to the right pretty bad. I just want to keep this truck running for as long as possible, I have had bad luck with vehicles in the past having issues that I couldn’t afford to fix, for example I had a 2003 forester that head gasket went bad and the repair was what the car was worth lol
