Thanks to everyone for your help and recommendations. The weather is still very much winter here in SW Mo and I have no garage. So I'll wait till the temps are warmer and sunny skies before I do anything. I'll try to keep this thread updated with what I do and the outcome, if it doesn't pass on...

2002 FX4 4.0L, auto trans. What is the stock wire gauge size between the battery and alternator and grounds? I've upgraded to a 160 amp alternator and need to determine what gauge additional wire (in parallel with stock) wires I need to add to handle the higher output alt. I'm guessing the stock...

Some how I had it in my head to do the fluid/filter change every 70K miles. But I don't know where that came from now. My bad for not servicing it more frequently. It's had some odd shifting issues the past couple of years. It can shift real hard (thudding?) from 1st to 2nd and then going into...

2002 FX4 4WD (factory pkg) 4.0L, 5R55E tranny, L/S rear diff, elect transfer case. I bought the truck used. Had just under 70K miles on it and soon after getting it I had the local Aamco shop change the fluid and filter (drop pan, change filter, refill...no flush). It now has 152K and I'm...

I have a 2002 4.0L 4WD auto, FX4, all factory. Does yours have the same selector knob on the dash for 2WD, 4WD Hi, 4WD Lo? I've not had a problem with mine but agree with the advise to periodically activate the 4WD system and run around in 4WD hi and 4WD lo for a while to help keep everything...

Hi. A little background seems appropriate first. I bought my used 2002 FX4 in 2005. It had been a fleet vehicle and had 70K miles on it when I bought it. I took it to the local Aamco shop of whom I knew the owner soon after purchase and had them drain/fill and change the tranny filter. Honestly...

Update. Currently, NAPA doesn't have the KAT block heater available. Come to find out the mfr KAT doesn't have any. So I went with the ZeroStart brand from O'Reilly. PN 3100039 for $49. I've done my share of shade tree mechanic but I'm short on time nowadays and autos aren't as simple as they...

I'm thinking of getting the freeze plug type. NAPA says a KAT 11458 is suppose to fit. I don't know which freeze plug location to use.

Hi. I have a 2002 FX4 with 4.0 V6, auto. Have recently discovered a minor coolant leak. Appears to be just below the head on pass side. Don't know if it's something with the head gasket or the freeze plug I see just a little below the head, toward the front of the engine. I had a 1999 XLT 3.0...

I've visited this place in the past and decided it was time to join. Hi everyone! I do have a question and hope it's okay to start here. If it is better to post my question in another place please let me know where. I have a 2002 Ranger FX4 4.0L with factory tow hooks on the front and factory...
