3.0

Hello, I found an engine for sale but the owner does not know the year. I'm wondering if anybody would be able help Identify the year of this engine? They think it's a 1993/94 but just want to make sure. Thanks.

So recently my 3.0 has been doing something weird that I believe has something to do with the timing. She's been running alright when cold but once it warms up and you start driving it she loses power and fuel makes it way into the exhuast. I've gone through pretty much everything at this point...

Hello all. This is my first post. You guys always have great advice and feedback, and I am now myself kinda stumped with something so here goes. I have a 01 Ranger Edge 3.0 (U) Gas 110k miles on the clock It will intermittently have loss of power when driving, especially so here and there when...

Hello all, I had a few quick questions for those more experienced with this 3.0L motor. I just bought the truck with around 120k miles on it, and it had a little issue. If given enough time, I am talking like 10-15 minutes of idling, to the point where it was warm, it would to start to sputter...

Just re-joined the site. Wanted to tell you that I like to see my name in the area where you note "members" on line. Sounds stupid but that's how I feel. I am pretty sure I didn't properly finish my registration. If not, please advise. Lastly.. I made 4 trips from Harrisburg PA to...

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on here. I've got a 94 ranger xlt 3.0 4x4 standard extended cab. The motor in it runs alright for 200k but when it goes I want more power. I've seen the 5.0 swaps, not many for the 4x4. The only thing I've seen is similar year f150 drivetrain swaps. Or...

So I've got a 02 3.0 and it's started making this noise knocking type noise. I've looked at the rocker arms and I've recently done the rod bearings as well as the exhuast manifold gaskets. The noise seems to echo out the exhaust which I find very odd because it doesn't sound very loud under the...

Where to begin? This was my 2nd ever Ranger and the one that really drove my passion for Ford Rangers in general. I've owned 3 after this but it's the only one left. It's a 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0l V6 Trailhead edition in a pretty rare color of Mandarin Gold Metallic. Last parked in 2018 with...

Hello, Shortly after I fixed the same 1997 Ford Ranger 3.0l Engine, the same problem came back after I replaced the PCM. For about 3 days I was able to run the truck completely normally and reliably. When I got in the truck to head home after work last night, it started having the same issue...

I have gotten a 2001 Mazda B3000 3.0 automatic trans, (320,000 miles) 2wd, I’m looking to get a ball park figure and getting both transmission and engine rebuilt. They are both leaking transmission fluid and engine oil really bad from all different places so in order to fix the leaks it would...

I have an 88 Bronco II with the 2.9 with a blown head(there is coolant in the oil and the year is notorious so I'm just assuming) but I have a rebuilt 3.0 someone gifted to me. How difficult is the swap and is there anything different I have to watch for?

So ive read through multiple forums and done some research and haven’t been able to figure out whats going on. I have a 2002 ranger edge 3.0. The truck is idle on average 750 bug dips to high 500s and mid 800s as ive seen from when i plugged in my scanner. The idle just kind of tumbles when its...

My 02 3.0 is running bad, almost sounds like it's missing firing or not running on one cylinder and it back fires quite a bit. I've replaced the spark plugs wires fuel filter IAC and the downstream o2 sensor. The fuel pumps working fine and I'm at a loss. It's throwing a code but can't read it...

I was surprised to find no posting of this topic in the entire site, so let me write up how I did it. This is based on the vise technique shown in this video (credit): How to easily remove piston bolt without a press. I am calling it piston pin (or wise pin) as it should be. Here is an...

Hey all, this is my first post. I have a 93 ranger xl 3.0 long bed and recently replaced the passenger motor mount, and transmission mount, as they were pretty bad and causing some mad shaking all around and hard shifting. All was fine and dandy until the vibration returned. Thought it was...

Hello. I am looking to clear something up on my 1999 Ford ranger XLT 3.0L Gas Engine. The temprature gauage in my truck is not working. So after investigation I am of the understanding that there are 2 parts. (1) the ECT Cooling Sensor for the computer and the Temp Gauage Sender(not sensor) for...

Hi All, 1991 Ford Ranger Supercab 3.0 V6 I was under my dashboard trying to troubleshoot my rear driver brake like. I was looking at the firewall of where all the wires come in and I saw that this connector was there, and there's a reddish-pink(at least to me) that looks like it was stripped...

Hi All, I have a 1991 Ford Ranger Supercab 3.0 V6. I have an issue where the Driver's brake light won't engage when the pedal is pressed, but the passenger side does, as well as the headlight function and turn signal's work on it. I have 2 questions on this that Google doesn't seem to be...

Hey All, I have a 1991 Ford Ranger 3.0. V6. It has the original engine and original transmission. I know very little on the mechanical side of cars (I deal with more electrical, I'm not great at it, but I'm learning as I go). I've been fixing more electrical issues than mechanical. Anyways...

I have a 2003 3.0 engine and transmission for sale in SW. Oklahoma. Also the entire electrical harness and several other parts (60/40 black seats, steering column...) Leave me a message on here if you’re interested. Mick
