well all i know is that it is somewhere in that area
Should be anywhere from a 3 to 5 digit code. I don't know specifically for Rangers but another common location is behind a plastic kickplate located in passenger footwell.
Let me see if I can look it up...
Well, good question. My local Ford place had no idea where it was for the 01 Ranger. lol He just said it's normally by fusebox but I told him we already had that checked. Should be 4 digits though he was able to confirm.
It should look something like this...but number/character combination will be different. It's just a white sticker with the code on it, doesn't say anything about it being the PCM/ECU code.
Try this...

FoMoCo passenger cars like the Taurus, Sable, Escort, etc., also mid-90’s & up Ford Ranger & Ford Explorer:
Usually these vehicles will have their computer code on a sticker under the hood, either on the firewall near the PCM, or along the inner fender ledge, or on a shock tower, etc. It will be the standard 4 digit format, 3 letters followed by 1 number. Look for the standard PCM wiring harness connection with it’s single 10mm bolt head dead-center, usually running right into the firewall, doing what appears to be a dead-end. The PCM in these vehicles is usually tucked back into a “cubby hole” in the firewall, so that all you see is the PCM’s harness connection, while the PCM itself remains hidden inside it’s compartment in the firewall. Note: Do not use the information from the sticker on the back of the Driver’s door that says “Calibration” on it, that is NOT the code.
On any computer-controlled Ford Motor Company vehicle, you can always find the computer code on a sticker on the PCM (Powertrain Control Module, or “computer”) itself. Every Ford EEC-IV & EEC-V PCM will have a large sticker on top of it, with several lines of writing. The computer code is usually a few lines down and will always be printed in bold typeface, and in capitals (upper case), so it stands out and is easy to find. Many Ford PCM’s also have a smaller sticker on the back of the PCM with just the code on it.

Yep, VQP0 it is. 
For sure. Just make sure when you get your custom tune, keep a copy of it saved either on your computer or in your email as a backup. Usually it's a .cfl type file.
