Was really a bit disappointed in the Hayes / Chilton manuals (they are almost identical) in terms of lacking detail.
Yeah, I too have a Haynes manual for my 2008 but it's not really helpful. It's almost like they used the older 2.3 to get information from.

2011 Ranger V6 so yes I believe that would be the 4.0 L SOHC engine.
I found a video online of someone doing a detailed step by step of this process. The replacement parts could come with a warranty, so if it fails you may have to change it again. If you felt comfortable enough with your mechanical skills I would say try it. I watched the video and it's a tedious job, but not impossible. This video is really well put together, and the guy has a rockin mustache so you can bet he knows what he's doing! Lol.
Edit: also just noticed that if you go to that video on YouTube he has parts links to the parts he used
