The 2000 and older 4.0's are OHV (overhead valve) The 01+ 4.0's are SOHC and they say it right on the throttle cover.

i answered your question in my last response but i will repeat it, if your truck is older than 2000 its an OHV.

OHV (overhead valve, pushrods and such), ford never made a DOHC V6 for rangers.
