  2. Intermittent misfire that I’ve been chasing for months out of guesses

    I have a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 manual 4 x 4. When I first bought the truck, I noticed that it would throw a code for a moment and misfire and then go away as I did maintenance on it. It would just disappear however it did not after a month or so of owning the truck the misfire got worse and...

    I'm swapping in a 4.0 OHV into my '97 Ranger from a 2.3 and I would like to know if I can use some SOHC headers for it as they are more attainable. Any help is appreciated! Any Questions? Ask away!

    Looking to rebuild my a4ld and want to make it as strong as possible. Been hunting through threads on here but almost all the links are 10+ years old and dead. Hoping to find someone with build sheets or a site that offers a full kit here in 2024.

    1996 4.0 transmission

    What kind of transmission is in my automatic ‘96 Mazda b4000? And what vehicles carry the same one? I need a swap as reverse has gone out in the original.

    4.0 idles better with MAF unplugged

    I have a slightly modified 1992 4.0, bigger throttle body, injectors and MAF housing. I had the original setup working before it came out and went into the Bronco 2, so i used all my original parts. ECT sensor reads in range, as does TPS. Out of the 3 MAF's i have, my 5.0 MAF responds best to...

    Coolant Leak...With pictures!

    So it is a 4.0l 2003. Leak is about 1 drop every second while running and coming from the passenger side. I got the Pittsburgh pressure leak tester and it worked about as good as anything else from my boys over at Harbor Freight which is to say the cap wouldn't fit because of a defect. Knowing...

    Automatic transmission removal question

    Howdy rangers. I'm doing the dreaded overdrive sprag replacement on my 2002 automagic 4.0 4x4. (It broke a week after purchase, no warranty. Fork me.) I've removed the exhaust (including the stupid y pipe and O2 sensors), drive shafts (front and back), transfer case, and I'm a few steps away...

    Howdy there, I am trying to figure out the bolt sizes for my Ranger. It's a 1997 4.0 Manual transmission. The M50D-R1. I'd like to replace the bolts while I got the trans out.
  11. Swapping my 4.0 1996 auto ranger for a 4.0 from a 2000 5 speed ranger

    Currently trying to engine swap a 2000 4.0 ohv from a 5 speed into a 1996 with the 5r44e, the flexplate, trans bolts, and threads in the engine don’t match up. Has anyone encountered this before and is there a way around it like some sort of adapter, probably should have researched a little more...

    Manual transfer case swap

    I’m looking to tcase swap my 1991 manual 4.0, with the electric shift 4x4 (manual hubs thank god). My electric shift really hated the cold snaps this winter, and as a result of using it my 4hi no longer works, and my 4lo has become 4hi. Honestly, I don’t really want to diag as I still can use my...

  14. Trouble Finding Gas Tanks

    Sorry guys I'm not too sure where to post this. I woke up yesterday morning and someone had drilled a hole in my gas tank. It's a 2003 Ranger XLT with the 4.0 L and it's 4wd. For the life of me I can't figure out which gas tank I need to order. I know I can just drop the tank and compare it to...

    Fuel smell after adding gas 96 4.0 OHV - NO CEL

    My 1996 4.0L OHV has a slight fuel smell after adding gas. I can smell the gas from the cabin with the windows closed. I currently do not have a CEL on. What are some common areas to check for a fuel leak. My fuel lid is tightened down good (maybe its old and not working?) How dangerous is the...
  17. Broken Piece Question

    Hey everyone, I just have a quick question. I found this broken piece when I was removing the valve covers as part of the process of replacing the lower intake manifold. I'm not sure what it is. I found it where one of the oil drains is for the cylinder head closest to the drivers side. I don't...

  19. Will a 2001 4.0 DOHC motor work in a 2002?

    My son’s 2002 4.0 dohc ranger develops a nasty timing chain issue today. I found a motor out of a 2001 ranger with 105,000 miles for $1300 bucks. That’s cheaper than replacing the timing chains. my sons truck is an automatic and this motor came out of a manual truck. Is there any surprises I...
