* Year of the Ranger: Torque specs change between model years.
* Engine type: Different engines (e.g., 2.3L, 3.0L, 3.2L, diesel) will have different specifications.
* Specific injector nozzle design: Even within the same engine, variations in the injector nozzle design might alter the torque requirement.
To find the correct torque specification, you MUST consult your vehicle's repair manual. This manual will provide the precise torque value for your specific Ford Ranger's engine and injector nozzles. Using an incorrect torque setting can damage the injector, the fuel rail, or the engine.
You can typically find the repair manual online (often a PDF download), at a parts store, or from a Ford dealership. Searching online using your Ranger's year, engine, and "repair manual" will likely yield results.
