what is the difference...i cant see it by looking at my friends motor then mine...and does anyone else here have it?

 

got some info on the truck

 

Your profile says that you have a 2003 4.0L. All 4.0L are the same SOHC engine for 2003 - there is no "high output" version.

 

people claim cars have a "ho" motor. High Output......rarely is there actually a HO powered vehicle. Cummins had HO motors in the dodges...only avail for the manual trucks. I've seen ranger ads that say HO....220hp...I say bologna.

 

I have high output... , my truck doesn't though...

 

jeep used it in on some of their Cherokee's: "4.0 Litre High Output"

 

yea my friend has the same truck just not high output...it must mean something though because i woop him in a race... i was just wondering what the difference was?

 

It is a Super secret Edition, That was Designed By John Colletti without Knowledge of Ford, It was supposed to be destroyed, but a few made it out. Your motor has 670 in/pounds of torque at 7500 RPM's and is capable of the 1/4 mile in under 10.00 min. Hold on to that Gem, it will be worth millions someday!

I think everyone is trying to tell you that you don't have HO either....

 

Not only for 2003 but for all the years of our motor there is no "HO" version.....

 

what years is your friends? From 2001 and up it comes with the same SOHC 200+ HP 4.0 engine. The 4.0's before that were OHV with about 50 less HP.

The same Ranger can also have a 3.0 motor as well as a 4 cylinder. Both being less in HP over a 4.0 SOHC

 

my truck actually says h.o. on the hood and tailgate

 

do you have pics of this???

 

im willin to bet you bought it used and some yuppie put the HO on it from a 5.0 stang.. kinda like the type R stickers people put on their rice rockets

 

did u buy the truck used? anyone can put stickers on a truck. i can put twin turbo on my truck but its not.

 

nope dad bought it new then i bought it of of him this year..guys im not tryin to say my truck is fast or anything im just curious..srry if i came across as a dick

 

your not being a dick or nothing we just know that rangers never had HO or anything like that on them.

 

im willing to bet that the dealer throw those on... the only other supposed high output ive seen didnt have any kind of marking saying it was...

plus the engine looks no diffrent then the normal 4.0 atleast on the exterior..

maybe an upgraded alternator? dunno why they would do that and advertise it but

 

nope, sorry not HO........would be nice though

 

HO..GOD i wish..its just an SOHC bud with stickers that add 50hp!

 

thanks guy at least i kno now so i can take the decals off instead of looking like someone trying to be a hardass

 

perhaps all of our 4.0 SOHC's are H.O.'s....perhaps.....nah

 

Don't sweat it man, before I bought my Ranger I knew nothing about them, as Im sure many of us were in that case. If I had seen a Ranger with a 4.0 decal on it like some of the Jeeps I wouldn't have second guessed it. Now having owned one for a while and done some research and gained some very knowledgeable insight from the great peoples of this site, I, such as yourself, have and will continue to learn more about my truck.

 

Only thing that made them high out put if a different induction sys and different fuel injection system.....All 4.0L cherokees '91-96 were high outputs...named high output. Meaning there was no lower motor except the 4cyl.

 

Hey its true, And I have have the ford ranger rubicon edition...

pictures will definately settle this dispute and of course there is no HO edition ranger.

but guesses are that he wont show the pictures so he can keep going on that we are all wrong and he is right!
