Let R be a ring and n a fixed non-negative integer. $\cal{TI}_n$ (resp. $\cal{TF}_n$) denotes the class of all right R-modules of FGT-injective dimensions at most n (resp. all left R-modules of FGT-flat dimensions at most n). We prove that, if R is a right $\prod$-coherent ring, then every right R-module has a $\cal{TI}_n$-cover and every left R-module has a $\cal{TF}_n$-preenvelope. A right R-module M is called n-TI-injective in case $Ext^1$(N,M) = 0 for any $N\;{\in}\;\cal{TI}_n$. A left R-module F is said to be n-TI-flat if $Tor_1$(N, F) = 0 for any $N\;{\in}\;\cal{TI}_n$. Some properties of n-TI-injective and n-TI-flat modules and their relations with $\cal{TI}_n$-(pre)covers and $\cal{TF}_n$-preenvelopes are also studied.

R is called a right ${\Pi}-coherent$ ring in case every finitely generated torsion less right R-module is finitely presented. In this paper, we define a dimension for rings, called ${\Pi}-coherent$ dimension, which measures how far away a ring is from being ${\Pi}-coherent$. This dimension has nice properties when the ring in question is coherent. In addition, we study some properties of ${\Pi}-coherent$ rings in terms of preenvelopes and precovers.
