Ok, I gotta ask. If your foot is on the brake, how is the out of balance tire turning? Or did I miss something?Hi CFF,
Normally I would recommend taking it to the dealer, but since you are so far away. Are you a DYI Guy? Put the Ranger on rear jackstands and add a stickon weight to a tire on the rear. Have a person in the drivers seat plant their foot firmly on the brake. Have the person start the vehicle....still firmly on the brakes and increase the rpm until the squeak is heard. The tire imbalance will result in a vibration. Then without getting under the vehicle, crawl around the outside and see if you can directionally locate the squeak. It may locate the source. Otherwise....back to the dealer when you have the time...
Best,
