How many miles on the 02?"
Just turned over 141k
"Does the engine tick when started cold?"
Nope, not at all
"Does the engine run smoothly or does it stumble/buck/hesitate?"
It seems pretty smooth
"Does the transmission feel like it is slipping?"
The tranny feels extremely strong
"Any check engine light?"
Nope
"You can smash the fuel pedal to the floor and remove the intake tube, look at your throttle body butterfly and see if it is fully opened. If it is not fully opened then you need the throttle cable mod. If it is fully opened then the mod will do nothing for you except open the throttle body sooner.
I would check fuel pressure, on the 02 I think there is still a schrader valve on the fuel rail?
A 2002 SOHC Ranger with 4.10 axles (4x4 the front and rear both have 4.10 gears) should haul the mail, it should not struggle at all......"
^Exactly this. Like I said I thought I was just spoiled coming from my F-150 with the twin turbos but after driving it for a week as well as another 4.0, something just isn't quiet right.
