Door sticker has a "D". According to the tech library, for the 2002 4.0 this is the 5R55E transmission. Thanks to all for the info and recommendations.

I have a 2002 Ranger XLT 4x4 w 4.0 V6 SOCH (VIN: 1FTZR45E82PA18054). How do I know which transmission I have? I read there are 4R44E/55E and 5R44E/55E. I'd just like to know which I have so when I go searching for new filter, etc., I can be sure I'm getting the correct part for my...

Took another look: Those two bolts were tight and only secure the black case (sensors?) to the side of the transmission.

Can you tell me how you think it has shifted? I see two bolts -- the one you circled and a similar one on the other side -- that appear to secure the black case to the side of the transmission. (I assume this case is the electrical sensors for positioning?) Does it look like that entire case...

Recently, I've been unable to move the shift lever into Park. It goes into all the others R, N, D, 2, 1 but my attempts to move it into Park it just won't go. Or, will barely, sometimes, if I really work at it but mostly not. It has always been that the needle is not aligned exactly with the...

FIXED! Partially ice buildup (I believe) and part dufus. There's a little connection box (part of my backup camera I installed) that had come loose yesterday. I noticed it hanging down but just moved it out of the way to finish my plowing. Well, moving it out of the way put it in the path of...

Well, it's unstuck -- mostly. (I suspect the improvement came from sitting in the shop overnight which is heated right now). And I remember that I did plow through some deep snow yesterday (preparing for the next storm) so maybe some ice buildup. But, it is still not fully there. The pedal is...

According to my specs, the EFI-SOHC (which is what I have) is 205hp. And that works well; mashing the pedal, it just gets up and goes.

No; have not. Since pushing the pedal further down ratcheted a couple additional teeth (based upon sound) that is the first thing I am going to look at is the pedal release itself. But most of the research I've read all spoke about the cable being stuck and such. Yet, again, since I use mine...

@85_Ranger4x4 BTW: I checked out your Ranger Build -- very nice. Must be awesome having that 5.0 in there. Mine has the 4.0 V6 which works pretty well for most everything I do. But a V8; yeah, nice.

Pretty sure it isn't ice buildup as I wasn't in anything deep today. That's what I'm guessing. I assume you mean the mechanics inside the drum? If that were the case, I'd expect the pedal to come up and just the brake not release. (But maybe not on a Ranger?) When it didn't release the...

I have a 2002 Ranger SuperCab 4x4. Today, I stopped and put the emergency brake on* and then when I went to release it, the pedal would not release. It is stuck down and won't release. I'm going to investigate tomorrow morning but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has a known fix. To be...

Mine is a 2002 XLT 4WD Supercab w standard bed.

Those in the photos are different than what I have but they're the same style as everything I've been able to find online. No one seems to have just the flat mud flaps like I have.

@Roert42 That sounds promising; yes, please send a photo. These mud flaps are just flat plastic that are mounted to a bracket on a frame. I checked closer and discovered that the mud flap is missing because the bracket is gone from the frame -- see attached photos. So, I'll have to acquire...
