for a 2002 xlt anyways

It is the eighth character in the VIN. "V" indicates a 3.0L V6 VULCAN engine. I think "E" is a 4.0L, but not 100% sure of that.

It should be the 4th-8th digit. See if you have a 4 or a 6 in those digits

And if it does...... - What does that mean? You're saying 4 or 6 cylinder? And what if it doesn't have 1 of those??

I have a "C" in the 8th on my 2000 Supercab, which I guess means the 2.5L L4 engine cuz' that's what I have.

Looks like an x on the 4.0 L. Just got one,nice sized motor for a ranger
