Under hood stickers needed

[Patrick Hammer]

Is it possible to find the infornation stickers that are under the hood relating vacuum line and belt routing. Im restoring a 2000 ranger that was a 3.0l flex fuel putting a 4.0l with a 4.0l. Need 4.0l stickers.

I don't know, if there is a source for reproduction printed underhood stickers. There are a buttload of different calibration stickers, as far as exactly matching what your truck should have.

I haven't actually had to do this (yet!), but for the older trucks there is a Ford book that should show your emissions sticker. It's called the "Car & Truck Engine/Emission Special Specifications Book", and I would assume that one exists for the 2000 models.

Example. I have a 1994 Explorer. This is my truck's sticker:

Note the " K Y Z " code in the lower left corner.

This is the factory book:

And this is the page for that calibration code, which has an image of the sticker itself:

If you had this book for your year model, or a good JPEG image file, you should be able to find a printer that can use the image to print you a sticker (hell, there may be home printers that could do this; I'm hopelessly behind on all of this modern high technology stuff). You would want to get it printed on a good self-adhesive vinyl stock.

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure about the belt routing sticker. That may be easier to find from a vendor as a pre-printed reproduction sticker, or even as NOS (New Old Stock); there are less versions of that sticker versus the calibration sticker.


I like seeing people restoring these older trucks; Good Luck!

That's going to take some serious Googling. You might be better off getting someone to post a good picture if theirs. Then have your own custom stickers printed. Maybe even just buy the material at wal-Mart or Office Depot and print them yourself. Then maybe seal them with clearcoat so they last longer.

Good question. Doing the V8 swap on mine I looked at that sticker and wondered the same thing. Would be nice to have the label that matches the engine in the truck, instead slot the 4.0L label that'll eventually get removed

I just purchased that book and it is very useful. Thanks for the input, it was valuable. Up next is printing one…
