i have an 02 with the sohc (obviously) and i have been given the opportunity to buy a 50mm turbo for super cheap. i looked under the hood and i found no place for it. i would have to have some crazy custom fab'd exhaust, and maybe intake manifolds, just to make it work. i dropped by a very...

my 2002 ranger 4x4 4.0l makes a loud clunk that sounds like it is coming from the rear axle. It only does it when i step on the gas while the truck is already moving. It makes the truck "hop" when it does it.
