Bear with me here.

I have an 04 ranger 3.0 5spd 4*4 that's bogging/limp mode when I have it in second gear at about 2500 rpm.
Codes say maf and misfire c2 and 3.
Changed the maf cleared codes same problem.
Any one know what would cause this?

What happens if you rev it high in 1st, and skip 2nd and go to third instead?

Same thing it seems like the balls drop right out no power. Right around 2300-2500 rpm.
I'll dig up the codes I have when I get home in a bit if that helps at all.

plugged cat converter??
adequate fuel pressure??

engine history for plugs & wires?

for a 3.0 of your year the valve seats may be bad. rent/borrow a compression tester, you'll probably need an adapter
because the plug hole is narrow on 3.0s.
