All wires on truck are original, and they carried 12V

It looks like you and your truck are going to be hanging out a lot together.
Verify, then, that the grounding wire going to the transmission is clean and in good shape.
I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone else can chime in. My final thoughts are to go over the battery cables and wiring very thoroughly--look for hidden breaks and corrosion. You may be getting 12 volts, but not the necessary amperage. When you solve the problem, be sure to tell us what was wrong.
It keeps you from "running the streets."
Ford Rangers are great little trucks and just keep going.
I would Verify Voltage between Starter terminal, and Starter Case, while cranking. Should tell you if it is a wiring problem or the starter, And see if voltage drops while cranking.
Some solenoids can develop a problem when loosening or tightening to make a bad internal contact, if you don't have the 12 volts ON the starter, you may want to loosen and retighten the connections.
Thanks for all your input... This is what I found... I had 12V's going to the starter and solenoid, what I didn't have was the amperage... After removing both cables from the truck I did more investigating. On the positive cable, the wire was deteriorating on the inside, down by the block, so I did replace both cables ($50), truck fired right up!
Once again Thank You for all your input and suggestions!
Nice job. I knew it had to be something basic. Amperage is the name of the game, when it comes to starter motors. Thanks for the update.
You would have seen the Voltage drop while cranking, which means a heavy load or connection failing.
I have a 2002 ford ranger that just clicks when trying tostart I have a starded it starts when I roll it and hoolds a charge any answers
rolcy1957, sounds like you need to install a new battery. Clean battery terminals and cable connections well. Charge new battery, prior to installation.
