Hey guys, I just bought a 2004 Ranger XLT 4x4, with the 4.0, auto trans, and 4.10 gears. I drove an 88 Ranger 2.0 5-speed 2WD for years so I'm not new to Rangers. Anyways im familiar with the Ford Modular V8's but I'm new to the 4.0. I'm looking to do a few bolt ons and I was wondering what you guys reccommend. (I'm thinking intake and exhaust will do nothing, obviously). I have an SCT Chip from my Lincoln Mark VIII that i was thinking of getting reprogrammed and put on my ranger. Does anybody have any expierence with these? Also, I see that the 04+up 4.0's use a different type of MAF so they arent many air intakes that will fit it, do any of you know any other intakes besides the K&N that will fit on my Ranger? Also, I was looking at exhaust and I like the dual exit magnaflow cat back as far as looks but its hard to tell what it sounds like on some of the videos over the net. Basically I'm just looking for some common mods you guys do to the 4.0 as well. Thanks for any help. By the way, I do know that none of these mods will do a whole lot on a stock motor.
