The primary issues with the oil pump in a Ford Ranger typically involve it not functioning properly, resulting in inadequate oil pressure in the engine. This can potentially cause damage and increased wear over time. I suggest monitoring your oil pressure gauge regularly while driving to ensure it remains within the normal range. If you notice it dropping too low, it would be wise to check the status of your pump. The oil pump is located at the top of the oil pan where it connects to the bottom of the engine in your truck.
Reduced oil pressure and a drop in engine power in your Ford Ranger may be signs of a faulty oil pump.
