Hi all and Happy New Year!
2003 Ranger Edge 2WD V6 3.0L Manual Non Flex
I have just done a engine swap (1st time doing any engine work) and have everything up and running great (just like a new truck). One more problem remains that followed me from before the swap. I have a surge/buck that happens at around 2800rpm in any gear (manual trans), It revs perfect when in neutral or clutch engaged as well. Sometimes I can push through it and continues on without problem. I thought this was initially an issue with the bad engine I pulled but it seems that it is still around. I will list what has been done below:
- New (used) 3.0 put in (runs great, no CEL)
- New clutch/flywheel
- New fuel pump assembly/filter
- New camshaft sync shaft (in back of motor w/oil pump drive)
- New crack sensor (on balancer, front of motor)
- New trans fluid (from dropping it for clutch and flywheel)
Basically new everything. It has great acceleration but only bucks and surges when I hit around 2800 rpm in each gear before I shift. On the highway I can't get over 60 due to the rpm's.
It is only rpm related and nothing to do with what speed I am going in each gear. I have spent a great deal of time searching for this problem but any other related issues people complain about involve not having acceleration, this is not the case here.
I appreciate any help, this site was invaluable along with youtube to get the thing back on the road.
