thumping noise when cold startup
What is your question?
I have a 1996 ford ranger (4.0) 5 speed. Every fall/winter when it gets cold I hear a thumping noise when I start my truck. It never happens in the spring or summer. When I start up the truck sit idle, it thumps.
How long has your 1996 Ford Ranger had this problem?
last 2 years (only in cold weather)

Possibly an engine oil viscosity issue .. IF oil is too viscous, it can cause that on COLD engine start up.
