I'm having my rear brakes locking up on me just before I come to a dead stop?

I have a '99 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0L 2WD. After reviewing the brake chapter in my OEM '99 Ford Ranger Repair Manual, it pointed to a device in the Brake Master Cylinder as the cause. All other components of my brake system including ABS are working fine. This device is called Master Cylinder Control Valve and it is screwed into the rear master Cylinder rear brake hydraulic port. The hydraulic tubing which go to the rear brakes is screwed into this device. The Manual was vague regarding the purpose of this device other than the fact that it could be causing the locking of the rear brakes. This device is not part of a Master Cylinder Kit. It has to be ordered separately. Can anyone give me a brief description of the purpose and how this device works?

What's wrong with this Ford Ranger?

I have the 'check engine' light on I went to get itchecked and they gave me the code- P0457 EVAP small leak detected. ECM has detected a large leak in the EVAP System during a system monitor test. Probable cause- defective, loose or missing gas cap. - EVAP canister broke, hose cracked or not connected. Purge or vent solenoid defecti- Vacuum leak at engine. I notice a fuel odor when the truck is on and the gas mileage / MGP. Is lower then average. If I drive 45 Minutes down the freeway, the gas odometer goes down like if the gas tank had a leak. I replaced the gas cap. Which one could it be and how do I fix it? Is it expensive?

Added (1). Where is the EVAP hose & evap ccanister located? I know I can Google it but they always show different diagrams with no title… Can I do it myself or should I take it to a mechanic? I forgot to add its a 2002 Ford Ranger XLT extra cab.

Engine swap for a 2005 3.0 ford ranger possibilities?

I really want to add a good chunk of horse power to my ford ranger, and the only way i'm seeing that happen is with a complete engine swap and probably tranny too. What engines will fit without too much hastle? Please keep in mind that the more horses and torque the better.

Are Ford Rangers hard to work on?

I want to learn how to fix older trucks. I realize this is a huge endeavor, and I do not for a moment think it is easy. But, what I'd like to do is get a Ford Ranger, older. Could also be another maker of trucks fro the 90's and before. I simply saw videos of the Ranger and it appeared to have a larger area to work in, as opposed to a crowded, modern car under the hood.

Parts for the Ranger seem plentiful, but it doesn't have to be Ford, just not a lot of electronics and whatnot. I'm not trying to become a professional mechanic. I want it to be a truck, however, buy a broken one off Craigslist, fix it up.

I mean things like the transmission, the engine, etc. As for the depth of work. Smaller things of course. I figure if it is roomy enough for an engine or transmission repair (as in remove old part, buy a new part, put it on), other, lesser repairs would also be easy.
