Ok.Thanks for the opinion.I guess i kinda knew i was gonna have to take it in.I hate the dealerships though.In some cases i would rather pay for something myself than deal with them.With my o3 edge i had to wait 4 weeks for a drive shaft(unis gone,driveshaft thump.I thought it was to be replaced with aluminum,that didn't happen),only to take time off work for them to have ordered the wrong driveshaft.4 weeks later another day off work.5 months later i got 2 new unis at a master mechanic on my rusty supposedly aluminum driveshaft.Still had ds thump.6 months later 1 new uni.And while this was going on i was trying to deal with a squeal on the front of the motor.The squeal finally got fixed after they replaced (one at a time i might add) every pulley on the friggin motor.Covered under waranty?Yes.Time lost at work?7 days.Almost 2 grand$.I should have bit the bullet and bought the most exspensive pulley myself off the hop.I would have saved about 1700$.But enough of my rant.I love my ranger(this is number 4 i might add) and wouldn't trade it for anything excepting another ranger.I own a mini cooper s and i prefer to drive my ranger.Less speeding tickets. Again thanks for your help cooker. This site rocks.
