There is an engine block which houses all the moving parts of an internal combustion engine, and a cylinder which is a part of that block, the cylinder is where the piston moves inside and where combustion takes place.

Can you replace just one cylinder in a 1999 ford ranger or do you have to change all of them?

When you say cylinder, you're talking about the space where the piston is. The cylinder is but one of four or six or eight in an engine block. You can't change one cylinder as it is part of the block. You would have to change the entire block or bore each cylinder to specifications equal to each for the engine to run proficiently.
