best manual to get for head removal 3.0 2005 ranger

The Ford Ranger has been the best-selling compact pickup truck in the United States for nearly two decades, and recent improvements have made it more usable than ever before

Thanks to somewhat bland but timeless styling and a content-heavy facelift in 2004, the Ranger looks nearly as fresh today as it did when the latest generation first debuted in 2001. The 2004 update brought a taller and more well-defined grille, a curvier body, and a host of interior upgrades that include new seats and convenience features.
Ford offers the Ranger in a few different body and cab configurations that include an old-school regular cab, a supercab with a 6-foot bed, and a flareside option with recessed body panels in front of the rear wheels.

The Ranger is offered with three different engine choices for 2005: A 2.3-liter inline-four with 98 horsepower, a 3.0-liter V6 with 140 horsepower, and a 4.0-liter V6 with 160 horsepower. Trucks equipped with the larger V6 have no trouble accelerating to highway speeds and passing once there. The powertrain's low-down torque is ideal for off-roading, towing, and anything requiring low-range 4-wheel drive (4WD).
The 2004 suspension upgrade brought new bushings, shocks, and springs, which work with a new tire size to greatly improve the truck's ride quality and handling. Combined with a new brake setup that came to the Ranger line in 2003, the package adds up to a compact truck with confident handling and the capability to handle a heavy load when needed.



The Ranger left much to be desired in the area of crash test results. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that moderate overlap front and roof strength were only worthy of an Acceptable rating, while side crashworthiness got a Marginal score. Only the head restraints and seats were rated as Good, as testing found that dummies' movement inside the cabin during a crash were reasonably well contained by the seats and head rests. The truck was not tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Standard safety equipment includes dual front airbags, three-point seatbelts with force-limiting pre-tensioners, child seat anchor points, anti-lock brakes, and an electronic brake distribution system.

If engine is not allowed to warm up and the clutch is in gear, the transmission will violently engage after a period of time. Clutch & seals have been replaced and trans fluid replaced. Problem still persists.
Have truck rear end on jackstands, trans in neutral. Right rear tire rotates and driveshaft rotates also. Left rear, driver side, tire won't rotate.
My truck is stuck in 4wd low, which seems to be not uncommon, and is attributed to the transfer control module, however, when I opened up the passenger kick plate to find the module, it isn't there.. where else would it be located?
