Why is 87 ranger 2.9 losing oil pressure and pinging realllly bad after it warms up?
WOW! I own an 89 Ranger 2.9 and I am going thru the same thing you are. The only difference is that one of my lifter/pushrods is tapping really bad so I'm going to be replacing the lifter on that one. The way I found the tapping pushrod is I took of the valve covers and started the engine to observe the pushrods and see if they were staying wet with oil. Which revieled the bad lifter not providing oil to the pushrod. One thing that helped the tapping is I added half to 3/4 of a quart of transmission oil and ran it for about a week. Transmission oil has a high level of detergent, this was to loosen sludge that may have been clogging the lifter. Then I changed oil/oil filter and added a hole bottle of LUCAS oil stabilizer to the new oil change substituting the proper amount of oil. And as I started the engine I could hear the tapping gradually go AWAY!! I'm still going to change the lifter and also replace the engine oil pump which will run $70-$80 and $20-$30 for the gasket. The lifter was $6 and the intake manifold gasket was $44, valve cover gasket is $11. I'll now need a good/cold six pack of Coors Light, a Styx CD and follow the Chiltons manual very carefully. Wish me luck!

What would cause a pinging sound in the 2.3L engine in a 95 ranger The timing belt was just replaced Could it not be set right The truck feels like it has less power than it did before the belt was r?
Sounds like the timing is off just a bit ur getting the start of detonation which makes the pinging noise ur hearing. That is the most logical (as or if ) it was not pinging before the timing belt was replaced.

How do you stop pinging in a 1995 xlt ranger up hills?
There isn't a way to from my understanding. Its a Ford thing. My 99' Ranger 3.0 Manual does it too. I have talked to pros and they said it doesnt hurt anything. Try mid or top grade fuel if you want to stop to some degree.
