I posted in the snapshots pics of my new truck. Its a 03 ranger xlt 4x4 4.0sohc, 5speed manual, with 4.10 gears. It has 90,000 miles and i got it at a dealer auction. Good thing i got it for $8,000. I really like it a lot. But since it already has 90,000 miles i was thinking that it might be a good time for a tune up, or maybe just change some things. Like the sensors and clean the maf. Change the oil and tranny fluid. Stuff like that. But i really dont know much about this 4.0sohc engine. So any sugguestions on stuff i should change/replace would be great

also i do find it kinda hard to get into gear. Now this is the first stick truck i ever drove. So a hurst shifter is going to be ordered monday night. And hopefully that will solve my problem.

 

OK, if it was mine this is what I would do: Plugs, Wires, Air & fuel filter, oil & filter change, change coolant(flush), change front & rear diff. oil & tranny oil.
Inspect brakes & repai as needed. Service battery /posts & cables. I'm sure I'm forgetting something thats what I always did on fairly high mileage vehicles I bought. Some might be an overkill but you've covered all the bases & then once your done you have a clean slate & then maintain as recommended by Ford.

Couldnt have said it any better!, Fore sure, ide do plugs and wires, Fuel filter for sure (i do 2 a year) i mean just that stuff is probably $60 MAX and youll feel and notice better mpg & overall smooth operation of the truck

 

just as stated above
check everything over real good
if you can change it/clean it/flush it or whatever then you should do it, never hurts

 

open you owners manual.....look for Ford's service suggestions at 90,000 miles.....do what it says for 90,000 and what it says for the next 2 lower milage IF the 90,000 miles is only an oil and filter change...

 

I would also change the transfer case fluid, it is very easy and doesn't require much oil and also the pcv valve. I would also check the tire pressure if you just got the truck.

 

I'd say these responses have covered all of your bases

 

I would throw on some new upstream O2's.
