new ranger owner with a few questions
Just bought a 2002 ranger 4.0 4wd 5spd. On cold startups the belt or something makes a squaking noise. I sprayed belt dressing on it to see if it would go away and it didn't so that should elimate the belt rite? Also I have noticed that the truck goes into third a little ackward most of the time. Every gear is super smooth except third. It goes in fine but it seems like it gets hung up on something for a split second thats not there on the other gears. Maybe I'm just not shifting hard enough because if I shift it a little harder into third its fine. Any ideas?

I would like to hear what u find out as my 2002 does the same dang thing , its a ***** to get into third most of the time.
i have had it in twice for this when it was under warrenty. i still have the extended but it has a copay as it were so does the synthetic seem to help?Also anyone know if there will be a warrenty issue with the synthetic.
