I have a ford ranger fx4, when ever I get on the gas I hear a squeaking clucking noise right about where the rear I think the U joint is bad.
Do you
have the same problem?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. You will need to remove the driveshaft from the truck to ease in replacement of the u-joint. Here is a tutorial showing how to remove and replace a driveshaft:
