yea , it is alot of work , especially on these comp cpntrolled engines , it took 7 hours to pull , on my 72 chevy it takes about an hour , but i have helped pull a worse one , about 8 years ago me and my dad did a motor swap in a 1990 ford aerostar

actuall , mine did basically the same thing , i was losing oil pressure for like 3 weeks prior , but being a mechanic i kept trying to get one more day out of it , my one more day resulted in a rod knock

the senior shop at my college wanted 900 bucks to rebuild it , i said hell no , i am getting a 3.0 with 97k miles on it for 450 bucks. i would put a different engine in to the truck , like a 4.0 SOHC , but New York inspection is gay and if the vin number stored in the pcm's memory does not match that of the one on your truck and registration , it will not pass

one more reason i love kansas. no yearly inspections and if you buy it kansas with a kansas title you dont have to get it inspected at all. i could put a 460 in my ranger and they wouldnt know. but its getting a 4o

dang that is stupid for the vin thing....i may be gettin a 4.0 ohv soon to swap into my rig!!!

 

[WNY964x4]

if i hadnt of been able to get another 3.0 so cheap i was gonna park the truck down at the storage we own , and wait to get a 4.0 SOHC , drop that in and register it in my dads name in west virginia , they do a yearly inspection , but they do not check the engine or emissions

I thought it was impossible to kill a 3.0? According to AllanD: you shouldn't be allowed to opperate anything more complex than a refrigerator.

well it does take alot to kill a 3.0 , i think the main thing that did it in was when i went mudding and had it bouncing off the rev limiter in first gear and 4lo , i dont know if my choice of oil had anything to do with it , but of course if i had not been such of bullheaded mechanic , i wouldnt have kept pushing it after the oil pressure started going nuts

On the newer ones they have some flaws.

 

[WNY964x4]

is this a flaw

i found the problem , got the pan off today and started trying to move each connecting rod side to side , number 4 had quite a bit of play , and these are the bearing that come out

the rest of the bearings were starting to become pitted , i got the pump out and the drive mechanism works fine , and the screen is clean

2000 ranger hmmmm sounds like cam position sensor failure. when the plastic gear and or bearing on the cps goes in 96 and newer rangers the oil pump stops spinning. and loss of oil pressure or erratic oil pressure results. then spun bearings follow.

that is what some people have told me , i had erratic oil pressure for a while

TOASTED.........NICELY TOASTED.

Reminds me of how the bearings on an 83 Chevy S-10 Blazer I had looked. It was given to me though by my mother in law so I could'nt complain.....haha
