4.0 Piston Slap/Pin noise
I have a '97 Ranger with only 123K mls which I just purchased and it has a tapping noine around the lower rear right side of the engine. I took it to the dealer and they said it sounds like piston noise. I was told that Ford had redesigned the piston for the 4.0 to correct this noise but don't know what years this was done in.
Does anyone know which yrs have the redesigned pistons as I'm planning to replace this eng with a used one and want to get one with the redesigned pistons.
Tks
