Hello, new here have a project truck 2001 Ford Ranger XLT with about 72,500 miles. Looking for tips as I go through and make this truck right again.. all work done on my own in my garage…

having a custom front driveshaft built due to the lift, if anyone knows what bolts I need into the front transfer case it would be greatly appreciated!

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Welcome! Can't be too much that needs put right with those low of miles.

However.. going back to a factory intake would reward you with more usable power.

Good looking 2001 Ranger!
Consider renewing the 2 TimingTensioners in that V6~4.0L~SOHC,
& swapping in an Aluminum ThermoStatHousing;
both NotoriousFailureItems.
