I bet it is nothing mechanical. Try shifting down a gear and see if it stops. Sounds like detenation with the fuel. I had a Toyota that done the same, I thought it was suspension, but no...

It is definitely fuel detonation!! Just about all rangers do this, You could try going up to 89 octane,but with prices these days!!! Try that lucas fuel injector cleaner (in the skinny bottle) that should help. A octane booster will probably help too. try a K and N air filter cold air intake its expensive but it does make a power difference and helps with the pinging problem. Ford says it doesn't hurt the motor!!!

Where is the starter on a 1996 Ford Ranger XLT?

It is located at the underside of the engine to the Passenger's side of the transmission. It's going to be bolted to the transmission where it meets the engine. You will need to climb under the car to get to it. Good luck!. The previous answer said it was on driver's side. However, just coming from under my 1996 Ford Ranger XLT, it's on the passenger side.
