Ok, this is driving me completely nuts. What type of/model hood is on my 2002 Ranger XLT, 2WD???? How many different hoods did they make?? And what did they put them on??
Bought the truck new in 01, part of deal was a bug shield. Wanted clear (so I could paint the back side of it). Fast forward 15 years, GD's boyfriend walks around truck, catches jacket on corner of shield. Now it is a two piece shield. So GD wants an new one.
Go online and get asked what type of hood. Regular or Power Dome? Or what model?? OK, its an XLT; but, does not have the depression going down the center! Has the two ridges on the outer sides. It is not a metal hood, it is composite (plastic).
Call the different vendors. Get told it is not a "Power Dome" hood (because no center depression) and also get told all XLTs had power dome hoods. What!!! What the hell!!
Want this one (clear): http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wam-72-96131/applications/year/2002
Get told it will not fit XLT. It fits the XL. Again, what!! Is there a completely different hood for the XL??
So can anyone tell me how many different hoods did Ford make for this flippen truck??? And what shield I need??
