how can you tell which 4.0 engine came with what year of vehicle

ohc or ohv

i am pondering trading the 2.3l reg cab ranger for a 4.0 LITRE 4X4 RANGER
just got to find out what my bank financing will cover LOL

hopefully my dealer can track me down 1 with the orangie/yellow colour

 

4.0 in a ranger stock will be as follows. 1990-2000 = OHV, 2001 to current = SOHC.

 

yup. just like john said. what orangie/yellow? the "yellow" yellow or grabber orange?

 

tried googling

it said the paint was screaming yellow????
i dunno,, what is the name of that yellow paint

 

What year is it? I think Grabber Orange came out in 08, before that I Think the only yellow color available was Chrome yellow.

Ha. Just look at the top of the motor. On the newer ones, there is a plastic cover that says "4.0 SOHC"

 

it was an 07 fx4 level 2

i am not a fan of yellow

but i definately like that colour

hooked up with an old co-worker ,, he`s got the fishing lodge to stay at but no wheels!

iv`e got the wheels ,, but but no place to stay at

the unfortunate part is! we need 4 wheel drive to get to the fishing lodge
it is an 10 kilometer drive through an old mining road ( lots of rocks and deep rutted spots )

 

Screaming yellow was introduced into the paint line up in 2004...same with Competition orange

 

that`s the colour competition orange

that colour rocks on the fx4`s

found me a sweet deal on a 2007 fx4 off-road with only 20,000 klik`s on the odometer

only 20,000.00

not a bad shade of blue ( not the best either but!!!!! )

too bad i cannot find 1 in compettition orange though

but i cannot find a better deal any-where else

i figure if my 4 banger cannot get any better fuel mileage than the 4.0l

i might as well break the bank and get what i originally wanted in the 1st place

my bank does not see a problem with the re-financing aspect LOL

 

i dont think they used Comp Orange on Rangers...just mustangs

 

either way there both great motors, ive had both and love them. they are very reliable just they have there lil flaws but overall work great.

 

yes they did use competition orange on rangers

i remember taking my grey xtra-cab 2wb in for service ( back in 06 )
and i saw 1 driving south with a cap

i have loved that colour ever since i saw it that day

( i have sent the new fx4 pre-opt papers down to the bank for their inspection )

here`s hoping
