94 Ford Ranger clicking noise?

Alright so i have a 94 Ford Ranger and today it started making a continuous clicking noise in the back right tire while driving. It would stop when the truck was stopped. Well after driving on it for a bit the noise started making a higher pitched noise. I was just trying to get home so i kept going. Then it stopped all of a sudden and i noticed something fall out from under my truck. I couldn t find the pieced but i know nothing was driving before the higher pitched noise started. Any ideas on what it is? I know i'm being very vague but i'm not sure on how to explain it. After it came off it made no more noises. I plan having my mechanic look at it tomorrow when i have my tires replaced but its bugging me. I can provide other details if needed.

Should I put money into a 1995 ford ranger?

I'm a teenage boy and my stepdad is giving me his ranger. He is the original owner of the truck and knows everything about the truck while keeping it in perfect condition. He has a commute to work everyday so he has put A LOT of miles on it. To be exact, 350,000. He just got done putting in a new clutch for it and a bunch of other stuff. Basically whenever something breaks down on it, he will fix it within a week or so. The engine its self is original but everything around it like fuel pump, carborator, etc have all been replaced. My intentions for that car is to get a new stereo system, nice off road tires and rims, cheap paint job, and maybe a 3 inch lift to make it sit better. I don't know if that s a waste of money for that truck. Also if I were to want to get a new car, I would have to drive that for like 6 months then get another car. I really like the 4x4 look so my car would most likely be a truck or a jeep Cherokee. I would like to go mudding so that s why I would need the accessories. Also the ford ranger is 2wd not 4wd. So, what should I do?

Can you solve these issues?

1991 Ford ranger 2.3L

The shifter swings out to the side. It shifts fine but the shifter can freely move around even when it's in gear.

The aftermarket stereo stays on even when the ignition is off. All other accessories turn off but the stereo stays on.

The only way to turn the ignition off is to hit a little button on top of the steering column to get the key to turn off.

The car takes a long time to start. You have to lay on the starter for about 15-20 seconds before the engine cranks.

Somebody has graciously let me borrow their car in my time of need and I don't have the money to take it to a mechanic but I've been known to rectify some simple issues before and would like to return it in better condition than I got it.

1993 ford ranger stx

Okay so i'm 17 and my truck is a 1993 ford ranger 4.0 motor automatic 4x4. So recently my truck was making whistling noise but it wasn't loud like i could barely hear it, so i didn't think anything of it but now i don't hear the noise and now my truck idles rough like when i start it it just wants to stall out while idling. It will rev up and down by its self. But if i but it in gear and go down the road it will kinda bog out like loss of power but right after like 15, 25 mph it runs fine until i slow down or come to a complete stop than it will start to idle rough again. I just replaced the fuel filter and it didn't help. There's no check engine light either. So does anyone have an idea what it might be?
