Yes, that was what they were advertised as.

Cylinder #6 exhaust valve again....... Brake parts cleaner runs right past it. Time to start cleaning and reassembling with new parts.

After 70,000 miles since doing the heads and head gaskets, my 3.0 has a drinking problem. Its drinking coolant and cylinder #6 is low on compression.... Here we go again:

I finally got tired of sitting like a hunchback in my truck while commuting and decided to be productive with some extra time off thanks to virus fears. My truck has also been read ended and the drivers seat hasn't ever been quite right ever since. I went to the local pull a part and went on the...

My 2000 2WD had replaceable uppers. I changed them when I did the lowers. Then a few months later, I did the control arm bushings...... So now I have rebuilt OEM control arms with way more hassle than just replacing the whole thing.

Good luck, I went through all the same on mine: https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/head-swap-on-2000-3-0.177236/

Cold weather finally made it this far south. I noticed the Ranger's heat was very lacking. I checked and changed the vacuum lines to the canister in the fender and to the heater hose shut off valve. Then I checked the blend door actuator and all was well with it. So I ran the truck and got it...

I am running 225/70R16 tires on my truck on aftermarket rims. I dropped my spare today just to check it and it was low on air. I checked the date code which is "319" which means 31st week of 1999. so the spare is 20 years old. After looking around, the comparable 15" rim tire size is 225/75R15...

Does it run more rough idling after its warm or after you run it hard?

A while back, I was considering a set of Ford Flex rims for the truck, but didn't want to have to bore the centers or get spacers installed so I went with the American Racing rims pictured above. But they would have looked good:

If it helps any, this is the view of a new synchronizer installed in the correct position with the #1 cylinder at top dead center. Also, take a air gun and blow off the back of the block around the synchronizer before you remove it. Any dirt around there will fall in the hole as soon as you...

I had enough Amazon rewards built up to pick these up for free. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G23AUQ The reviews seemed good, and even if they don't last very long, I am going to take my time to sand and re-clear coat my OEM headlights to get them looking good again and keep them...
