This seems to be a common problem with these engines. POST YOUR STORY!
A week after I bought my ranger @ 74,000 miles I got the check engine light with the code that says engine running too cool. So I got a new thermostat to put in--and viola--there wasn't even one installed! The previous owner must have overheated it (it was obvious he was towing--hitch, electronic brake gizmo under dash) and took out the thermostat to cover up the problem. Good thing for warranty
