Ranger 3.0L Component Locations

Hi All, I had to take a picture of the location of the oil pressure sending unit on a 3.0L today, and I thought while I was at it, I would take pictures of the
other "popular" components:




Oil pressure sending unit (analog, not "switch"):




DPFE sensor:




IAC valve:




MAF sensor:




TPS sensor:




Coolant temp sensor (gauge):




Coolant temp sensor (PCM):

Great pics and labels Bob, should help out a lot of people. IIRC you changed out the original metal DPFE with the plastic one, right?

This is great Bob. Very helpful.

I hate to show my lack of knowledge and to trouble you further but.....

1. Could you translate the multi-letter abrevations into the words they stand for.

2. I should would like to see a picture of the M5OD and t-case fill and drain plugs.

The pics really helped me.
Needed to differentiate between the temp sensor for the gauge and the temp sensor for the computer.
