I was doing some filter crossing for a customer with off brand tractors (aka non John Deere) in my Fleetgaurd filter book the other day. I noiced under Ford Ranger the normal engines, 2.3, 3.0, 4.0 OHV and 4.0 SOHC, as well as a 4.0 DOHC. I did not know there was such a thing. When and where was it used and what power did it have? Is it a misprint?

 

dual over head cams, it was used in the ranger. i dont know when but i have heard of it before

 

There is a 2.3L DOHC currently used in the Ranger but there never was a 4.0L DOHC Ranger.

 

ok sorry i was wrong, its the 2.3 that is dohc

 

I didn't think there was such a thing either. Book be wrong.

 

yeah there was only two different 4.0L ever in the rangers. the 4.0L push rod aka OHV which was stopped in 2000. Then in 2001 the 4.0L SOHC.

 

technically, the current 4.0 is a DOHC...2 cams, one per side! jajajajaja

honeslty, i never heard of it. i know there was a 3.0 DOHC...

 

think about it...the DOHC is Dual OverHead Cam...to me, that says 2 cams PER HEAD...not CAMS total, LOL....everyone's thought processes are different, so to me, it doesn't matter, LOL
