i had had the same issue. the test us ti spray some water on the best see if the noise goes away. if it does its the belt. I put in a Continental from auto zone and it was the only belt that did not make noise.

so after all that did fixing the leaks make a difference in my LTFT. the answer is a little but not as much as i had hopped. after putting about 50 miles on the truck here is what i pulled from the OBD. before repairs i was around LTFT of 13 for bank 1 and 16 for bank two go back to my first...

on the the drivers side with the cracked manifold. i broke each bolt lose and then put them back in. then tried to loosen the EGR tube nut. its 1 1/16 wrench and the EGR tube nipple is 1" and it broke the manifold away. not so bad as i planed on replacing it anyway but the nipple was not...

So i hate when u search a forum and you find someone having the same problem but there is not final post with the outcome. so i am following back up so other may learn from what i did. was able to get all the bolts and studs out using 13mm and wobbler extensions. i used a 1/2 socket on some...

Does anyone know what years the 3.0 exhaust manifold is the same as 2008? I am going to the junk yard tomorrow and I know they have a 2003 and was wondering if that will fit. Would be nice to pick from a few so a range of years would be helpful.

where did you get replacement bolts? and does the exhaust manifold on the 3.0 have a gasket? my plan was to go check out the local junk yard that is pull your own parts and see if i can find a 3.0 motor. I know they have rangers as i have gotten parts before just not sure about if they have a...

Any idea what the heads are made out of? Aluminum or steel/iron for the 3.0 2008 ranger. I have a MIG welder and have used it to remove broken studs before but only in aluminum.

So i replaced both upstream O2 sensors. Bank 1 did not want to come out and when i did get it out it lost some threads. Needed to take the plastic off and i still could not get an O2 thread chaser in still. had to go to harbor freight and get a tap set so run an 18mm 1.5 tap through it to...

RonD , Thanks for the reply and this is good information. i will jack the truck up tomorrow and see if all the O2 sensors look original. This is the first time i have seen the around 12 year life for an O2 sensor. I though when they age they get sluggish and just take longer to respond...

i bought a 2008 ford ranger 3.0 with 90K miles a few years ago. the truck ran ok but seems to run a little rough at idle and lacks power but that my just be because it has the 3.0 well when running the code scanner the long term fuel trim in bank 1 and 2 are high at idle. Bank 1 is around...
