But in general, all starters must contact the flywheel during cranking so all starters are generally at either left or right bottom corner of an engine -- right in front of the transmission's bellhousing.

Welcome to the forum!!!

On my 94 4.0L, it's on the driver's side, behind the front axle, next to the oil pan, and as mentioned, at the bottom rear of the engine, connected to the flywheel in front of the tranny. I can't imagine they would have changed that between 92 and 94.

If you're replacing the starter, definitely replace the positive battery cable at the same time. It's very long (over 6 feet), and runs under the engine, then up to the battery on the passenger side. They are notorious for corroding from within, and are not a lot of fun to replace, so take advantage of the time you have the starter out and one end of the cable off already.

The cable costs about $70 at NAPA. Buy the best one you can.

dont want to sound like a ass but if he has trouble finding the starter a battery cable replacement may be too much for him. that being said here is how i ran my new cable 56'' or so of # 2 battery wire
