To determine the cylinder numbering for *your* Ford Ranger, you need to:
1. Identify your engine: Find the engine code (usually stamped on a metal plate on the engine block) and look up the engine's specifications online. This will tell you if it's an inline-4 (I4) or a V6.
2. Consult a repair manual or online diagram: Once you know the engine type, search online (using the year, make, model, and engine code) for a diagram showing the cylinder arrangement and numbering. The numbering will be sequential, but the order depends on the engine type and orientation. Typically, I4 engines are numbered from front to back, while V6 engines are numbered sequentially across the banks from left to right.
Without knowing the specific year and engine of your Ranger, it's impossible to give you a definitive answer.
