Lightbulb Liter

How do I find out if My 95 ranger is a 4.0liter or a 3.0l?
I tried the manual and didnt find anything. Any Ideas?

The trailer towing section in your owners manual will tell you how to figure this out from the info on the drivers door label.

The sticker on the header panel or right behind the lock on the hood will tell you.
Does it have lots of power or just decent power, there's a clue...

Your intake doesn't have 3.0 in great big numbers on it? Or the valve covers for that matter?

Funny, I was just thinking that myself. most motors from the late 80s on have the 3.0L or whatever size motor it is stamped into the intake, or valve covers usually, on most engines I've seen anyhow. not to insult anyones intelligence, but I'd look there first.

I usually look at the sticker that shows the serpentine belt routing. Ford uses one sticker for both V6's, so you can see which diagram matches what you see.

I don't think my two 3.0 have anything on them, the 2.9 has it on the upper intake.

Ken....I'll bet if you look closer at your valve covers you'll see 3.0 in raised letters on em. Often overlooked, but I'm willing to bet it's there.

I know the 4.OHC engine in the newer Rangers has "4.0L SOHC" on the intake cover, and I bet the OHV version has similar on the intake cover as well.

i never noticed if i've got the 3.0 stamped on the valve covers but who would brag about it anyway? lol. as john deere said there is a label on the radiator support that specifies whether its a 3.0 or a 4.0 for belt configuration unless its been in an accident and the label has been removed for some reason. another dead give away is a leaf on the tail-gate which is for the flex-fuel 3.0!

not all 3.0's are flex fuel and they didnt start that until 99-2000 i think. my 02' 3.0 isn't a flex fuel.
