1999 3.0

werewolf · Feb 16, 2017

I was just wounding if Ford made any changes from the 1998 3.0 and the 1999 3.0. I have been looking at different engine parts like underdrive pulleys and headers and exhaust. And most of it says from 1992 thr 1998, when i put in my 1999 most of it says will not fit. Is there some change that would make that big of change. :sad:

Typically 1998 - 2000 are considered the same. Maybe it doesn't count for the engine though. Externally they are the same. My Clymer manual lumps 98 - 2000 as one and the same, including engines.

There are no significant differences between 98-2000. In 2001, the upper intake manifold was changed to a plastic piece that remained for the rest of 3.0 production (and the coil pack was moved to the valve cover as a result). Basically 98+ 3.0s are essentially the same as far as fitment of components is concerned with only minor differences.

Also Ford started using the 3.0l DOHC Duratec engine in 1996, not in Rangers, Rangers always had the 3.0l OHV Vulcan engines.

So 3.0l search can get confusing results

Thanks guys that's what i thought. I went to the tech & tips didn't see anything in there. But didn't won't to buy some after market parts that won't fit and have to fight to send it back. So Thanks again
