Depending on the type of noise you hear when accelerating in the Ford Ranger, there could be several possible causes. If the noise resembles a ticking sound, it might indicate an exhaust manifold leak. Alternatively, it could be due to a faulty pulley or bearings that will make a rattling noise as they deteriorate. A whining or humming sound may indicate a common issue in the Ranger where vibrations from the oil pump transmit through the oil pan, creating the noise. While this is not harmful to your vehicle, it can be bothersome. The warranty will cover the replacement of the oil pan and sump to resolve the issue.
A frequent cause of the whining noise you may hear when speeding up in your Ford Ranger is a malfunctioning power steering pump.
