I bought my 03 ranger 3.0 4x4 5spd with 127,000 on dec. 2008 and solid it a few months ago with 170,000 on it. Had replaced all components but sycro's in the trans, replaced the radiator, fan clutch, water pump, the front hubs twice, plugs and wires twice, coil pack one, starter, power steering pump twice, rear u-joint. I then sold it with a cracked radiator, cracked head, shot ball joints and tie rod ends, and a bad power steering pump. I gave that truck pure hell, mud bogged pretty much every week for 3 years. All in all the truck held up amazing from what all it went through

just bought my firdt ford in november. 2001 ranger edge 3.0 4x2. had 198xxx on it when i bought it. i have 209800 on it now and iu love this truck. being a honda guy my whole life this truck has made me fall in love with ford. just needs more power. i modded my stock intake box and installed an mbrp off road cat back that dumps right before the rear axle. would like to change the pinion and ring gear for better acceleration and was looking at the jet performance chip, just dont really have faith in plug in performance chips.
