These things don't just brake , they could knock but keep working for a long time .You might be able to change just the outboard cv joint . That is the part that you see behind the wheel wrapped in a rubber boot .

+1, one of my profs his dad had a ranger and the transmission would whine in 3rd all the time. The sound started at 40k and the trans went @ 280k......dont want to give any false hope, but Fords will run for a veryyyy long time with a strange noise and nothing happening lol
