"Great truck, but sometimes dealers can't find out problems"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I apply the gas from a stop, there is a disturbing joilt coming from the rear end or bottom of the truck. It does it when I come to a complete stop and also it does it when I am in 4x4. I have no idea what it is.

Checked the suspension, u joints, drive terrain, even replaced the shocks.

Cannot find the problem, I hope it isn't something small that is going to result in something big.

General comments?

Truck gets up and goes.

4x4 is awesome

radio sounds like crap.

Somewhat easy to work on.

ok gas mileage.

A remedy for the sudden jolt problem is to replace the steel drive shaft with Ford's new 4" aluminum, being used on all modern Rangers.

Does anyone know the best tires to put under a 99 ranger. I want some aggressive tires, but I don't want the moaning noise. I was thinking about brigestone dulers. If you know a better tire let me know.

THANKS.
