..... to the Ranger Zone. I will be purchasing a 2001 Ranger XLT 4x4 auto 4.0 (SOHC) within the next few days. I'm always one to go down the rabbit hole on everything I own, so I figured this would be a good place to learn as much as possible about this poor truck about to be subject to my care. I'd appreciate any links or resources that may be helpful. Thanks in advance for answering my stupid questions
