transmission tick.
Hello everyone. My 4 banger ranger has developed a tick that i confirmed is coming from the tranny to the back. It used to not be there, then i could barely hear it, then i could hear it at 30mph, and now at 60mph. im starting to get a little worried. I drove about 20mph and stuck it in neutral and it went away. anyone got any ideas or just drive on

Hi,
Would be helpful to know the year and if you have a manual or automatic trans in your "4 banger"?
Also I assume 2WD, not alot of 4x4 4 cylinders around
On some Ranger 4cyl models there is a rubber damper at the transmission end of the drive shaft, these could rot and cause a noise and vibration.

Did you see the damper/balancer?
Pictures here of a broken one: https://www.ranger-forums.com/drivet...se-help-23853/
The ticking does sound like a drive line issue, u-joint or balancer
Not sure if long beds used carrier bearing, extended cabs did, so could be carrier bearing issue as well.
You would have a two piece drive shaft with carrier bearing bolted to under side of bad.
Have a look

I haven't had a chance to look under the truck today (school and rain) but I don't believe I have a damper. What exactly is a 2 piece drive shaft? mine looks solid. Ill see if I can take some pictures of some stuff tomorrow. Also are the carrier bearings a visible piece or hidden cause i can see what they look like tomorrow as well. Also comparing my driveshaft to the one in the pictures, it looks like mine is bigger for some reason. and it looks fairly new, hardly rusted.

Not sure where you should go from here?
You can drive along a block wall or under ground parking?
Listen with drivers window open then do the same for passenger side, maybe see if its a wheel issue, which would be louder on one side than the other
Support rear axle on stands and have some one run up the drive train to see if you can hear where it is coming from..........be careful
