Ok so i have a 89 ranger ext cab 4wd with the 5 speed and 2.9l and it has no power on the highway. Im trying to figure out if my motor is just wore out or if i have something wrong besides the little stuff. I know my motor is a little worn but it seems to run fine in town but anything over 45 is no power. On the interstate i have to have a good tail wind to even dream of hitting 75. Down hill i can sometimes hit 65 but it seems like at any sign of a hill or head wind its 55 tops. It does have a hiccup about 3000 rpm that i haven't figured out yet. So does anybody have a similar truck that can maybe give me an ideal if my motor is really that underpowered or if its just par for the course. I am at fairly high elevation about 7000 which im sure hurts it some but it just seems that i should have more power.
