Hello! Everyone! Iv mad a few threads on here I did a small build thread for my 1990 2.9 2wd truck, I LOVED HER, but i had to sell her...WHY? to get a four wheel drive ranger! Duh!!! But all that besides the point. This tread is for those people who love there 2.9 V6, not those people who only train of thought is a 5.0 or 4.0 swap. I love my 2.9, Why? Because I can't kill my 2.9. My 2.9 had never let me down, under geared or ticking. Sooo everyone that also loves your 2.9 engines lets here your stories and ideas for your 2.9's.
To start off with a story, I once was wheeling/camping with my 2.9 2wd ranger like...30-40 miles from home, with a buddy. well....his Chevy blazer (1989) 4.3 engine decided it didnt want to run anymore. SO what did a ranger guy like me do? I strapped that chevy to my ass end, with a couple hundred pounds of camping gear (200-300lbs) and drove down long assss back roads till we got back into town. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... all that was with 3.55 gears sitting on 31 inch mud tires. (Yes my clutch did not like it but I have a very nice clutch in it that handles high temperature very nicely.Luk Gold series clutch kit)
