    New knocking sound at idle heard in cab (4.0 SOHC)

    Are you talking about the timing chain tensioner? I can't find anything on the internet about a timing damper.

    New knocking sound at idle heard in cab (4.0 SOHC)

    yeah that’s what i was thinking too, for better or worse. Where should i go from here? Also maybe important to note but i dont hear it on cold starts and it only appears after idling for a couple minutes.

    New knocking sound at idle heard in cab (4.0 SOHC)

    So this morning I was sitting in my truck (2003 4.0 4x4) and my school’s parking lot and I heard a slight knocking sound coming from the right side of the cab. When I got out to investigate, I couldn’t hear it from the outside nor could I hear it when I opened the hood. The truck has 196k miles...

    Car audio brands- what's junk, whats good enough?

    I recently put a Boss HU in my 03 Ranger and it is great, I got it on sale at Walmart for like $100 bucks and it has Apple CarPlay and a 7" screen. I also have some Pioneer 6x8's in the front doors, also from Walmart. The rear speakers are stock, and given the head unit can supply 85 watts I'm...

    I Know, It's an EV

    Thats the first ev that has actually peaked my interest by looking cool. I say that because I've seen tesla 0-60 times and thought, "wow, that's stupid fast, That could be cool to experience". I hope that makes sense.

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    215k minimum, I'd bet she'll get another 300k or so

    I figured it was something like that. Thanks

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    I hear that they give you 4 brakes for redundancy, you really only need 2, even 1 if you like to live on the edge

    what does the torx nut do? does it like hold some transmission internals in place?

    What did YOU do today?

    lol. I meant a full-blown post on the entire installation, but if you guys want a post on how to blow rear speakers I might be able to make that happen.

    What did YOU do today?

    I installed a new head unit in my truck, a 2003 Ranger XLT Supercab. It sounds really good and I like the backup camera and the Apple Carplay. FYI though, if you are going to do this, make sure you buy a dash kit before starting the installation. I didn't. I was still able to get the head unit...

    Which 4.0 engine is preferred, the OHV or the SOHC?

    Yep, the oil was definitely thicker lol. It took a little effort to move the stick shift, which isn’t too surprising. I would have thought the passenger one was hard to get to given that it’s at the back of the engine, in that the driver side tensioner was the easy one. I guess you never know...

    Which 4.0 engine is preferred, the OHV or the SOHC?

    Not sure if it was going on before I got the truck last December. I first noticed it early-mid January when it got really cold (below 0* F) for a week or two. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, but I thought I’d mention it anyways.

    Which 4.0 engine is preferred, the OHV or the SOHC?

    I have a 03 4.0 SOHC manuel that has 187k miles and to the best of my knowledge has never had the tensioners done. I bought the truck last December from an older couple who babied the truck (oil changes done every 5k miles, etc), so I have a little hope they got the tensioners done, but I don't...

    4.0 sohc feels low on power

    Yep. Don't get me wrong, Cali is beautiful, but the politics and policies aren't ideal. I live in eastern Washington so I don't have any emissions crap to deal with thankfully.

    4.0 sohc feels low on power

    Thanks. It actually was a clogged exhaust. What happened was the 3rd cat broke apart for some reason, and all the little particles from #3 flowed down with the exhaust and clogged up #4. To fix it I had the 3rd cat replaced with a universal Magnaflow and the 4th cat was cut out and had a...

    Off road bumpers??

    I just started another shop class a couple of weeks ago when the 2nd semester started. Right now we doing a small engines unit but we should be starting a welding one soon. I'll talk to my teacher and see what he thinks. As of now, we are on good terms as I am one of the few kids in his class...
