Sounds like a vacuum leak in the PVH system.

If itz a pulse vacuum problem then you maybe able to do the mod in the how too section to make your system a live axle.

the live axle is what the 2000- newer rangers have but you could buy those avm lock in lock out hubs for like i think 125 and from what ive heard they are nice.
