Aside from the obvious checking the oil level, Some vehicles have an oil sender that plugs in near the filter. Check for any sensors in the area and make sure they are connected properly.

That would be the actulator on the transfer case. More than likely it needs replaced. Check for good connection at the plug on the tranfer case.

Ford ranger 1988 pistons are stuck

Why are they stuck? Is it from setting and there rusted up? or are they sezed up from lack of oil? If its rust just take some trans oil and pour some into each spark plug hole and let it set over night, and then put a socket on the harmonic and turn back and forth until it frees up. If its lack of oil its my best guess you better look for another engine.

My friend just got a 1988 ford ranger  v6 2.9L and has a valve tap and was wondering what different kind of ways he could fix this

if its an ohv type the most common fault is that the oil ways to the rocker shafts become blocked
so get some flushing oil drain the oil and replace with the flushing oil and run for the time stayed on the can then Change to good quality oil and new filter
then remove the rocker covers and check and adjust the valve clearances
if its an ohc type its all hydraulic adjustment
you could try flushing as above but apart from that the only other way is to change the lifters and followers
hope this helps
