Truck seems to stall while driving.

I have a 5 speed 2001 Ford ranger Truck. When I and changing the gears or just driving in 5th gear, the truck seems to jumps as though it's not getting the gas. I put injection bost and cleaner in the tank, yet it does the same. Sometimes it jumps badly.
Thanks,
Lewis

I have the same problem. So I changed the spark plugs, distributor, and spark blug wires. When I did I found that the spark plug in cylinder number 3 was soaked with fuel. So I change the fuel injector in every cylinder and that did it.

I have a 1988 ford ranger 2.3l 5speed or 4speed w/over drive. Since i got the truck i have not been able to get it in 5th gear wont even budge. Why?

Susan, either linkage is damaged, out of adjustment, 5th gear is damaged and gone or you have a 5 speed shift knob on a 4 speed transmission.

My ford ranger 4x4 5 spd. has started howling when I'm going down the road and it only stops when I either push in on the clutch or put it in neutral.

What speeds, does it make more noise in 4 wheel drive or the same. There are several possibilities, need more information. Does it howl in all the gears or in 5th gear only.
