After totalling my 03 Edge on the way home from work about a month ago, i had to buy another ranger. i decided to go with a 4cyl (2.5L) since the 3.0 was killing me in the mpg (i drive 80-100 a day)
I bought an 01 xlt with the 2.5L automatic 2wd. (48000 miles!!!)
MPG ave right now is only ave 19.5 but i am thinking it has original plugs and wires.
I would like to up the mpg and power a bit.
getting new plugs and wires r first on my list and then a full intake.
I found a full length Pacesetter header for the 1982-1992 2.3L on ebay and wondered what it would take to bolt that up to the 2.5L in my truck? Mine has the o2 sensors on the down pipe and not on the manifold and it is an egr equipped 4bangr. I would most likely have a shop install but would they have to do any welding or cutting on the header for it to work? would it make much difference vs a factory shorty header from a mid 90's 2.3 header?
Thanks much.
