4.0 liter v6

Good afternoon folks. Been lurking around here for quite awhile, but now need some serious help diagnosing an issue. I just received my dad's 97 4.0 ranger after he passed away. It was driving great a few days ago, I parked it and now it won't start. It doesn't even try to turn over, when I...

My 4.0 feels like it is in limp mode, it’s a 4.0 manual swap and I did lifters in it and it starts and idles what seems okay but it’ll jump up and then shut off, but also driving it feels low on power, and will what seems like redline at 2.5k it just stops accelerating and sounds like it’s on...

I got it back in November and it ran several times with a little trouble, but by mid-December, it would not start on almost all attempts. I’m not very skilled with cars yet, so I’m kind of stuck. I replaced the fuel pump, crankshaft sensor, and spark plugs. I think fuel is good, so I’m not sure...

Hi everyone. Im excited to be part of the community as I’m in the market for a ranger and plan on making it last me a very long time. I would actually like a 2000 Mazda (ranger) B4000 4.0 V6 OHV. Or atleast I believe that’s a solid choice since I very much want a 4x4. I was really hoping that...

I have a 1984 Ranger that originally had the 2.8L, but over the last winter, my grandpa and I did a 4.0L swap in it. It's been good for the most part. Little issues here and there. But the other day I was driving it, and mid-drive, it just started cutting out and missing really badly. It got to...

Originally my Ranger was in a no start condition where it would crank but no life from the injectors or sparkplugs. The original owner had already replaced the ignition control module and had had no success. When I got the vehicle I went ahead and replaced the wiring harness since the original...

I recently got ahold of a cheap 1994 Ranger with the 4.0l V6 but I have run into wiring and computer issues. So far I have identified multiple spots in the engine wiring harness where cracks/holes in the wire insulation has caused the wring harness to corrode plus areas that appears to have had...

So I had an issue with left side back turn signal and brake light not working. I've been working on rewiring both tail light, after 4 days of non stop YouTube videos and forums. I, what I belive got it all wired back up, Except when push the brake the right side turn signal lights up on dash and...

Hello All, I’m doing an intake manifold gasket replacement on this 4.0l OHV 93 ranger. I’ve ordered a mahle intake gasket set. Anyway, the stat thermostat I’ve ordered doesn’t have a built in jiggle valve like the installed stat valve. Should I drill a small hole in my new one, or attempt to...

Hey everyone! I'm sure this has been covered before so if it has, I can just get a link. But I'm putting a 4.0l from a 1992 explorer xlt automatic into a 1985 ranger that had a 2.3l with a 5 speed. My question is what all do I need from a donor vehicle? I've got the wiring harness and computer...

I have an 02 4x4 xlt 4L V6 with 31x10.5xr15 tires. It seems to me that I have plenty of room for bigger tires, though. If I crank the torsion bars ~1" and install a rear add-a-leaf, will I have room for 33x10.5xr15 tires? If not, will rubbing only be on the easily trim-able plastic bumper? I...
