3.0

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

Hey everyone, my names Spencer just bought this 1991 ranger xlt. It’s a 5 speed 3.0 extended cab, two toned black and silver with the sticker stripe, and red interior. The guy I bought it from put a 5 inch lift, electric fan, the lights on the front, new fuel lines and a new stereo in it. It...

I have a 1999 ranger with the 3.0 v6 Flex fuel. It’s been maki this loud ticking noise for quite some time now. I thought it was my exhaust as it gets louder or more pronounced when the engine is under load. However I have inspected my exhaust and repaired any leaks it had and it’s still noisy...

Hello everyone, sooo i recently bought a 93 ranger stick 4x4 with the 3.0 for 750 now with parts im at about 1600, and im on the last parts of getting this truck running 100% but im having issues with trying to hook up some kind of exhaust. Now the nice feller who owned this truck before me...

I have a 99 2wd ford ranger and been having trouble with the speedometer not working and rough transmission shifts. I’ve changed the speed sensor 3 times and nothing is helping.

Hey guys I just signed up to see if anyone could point me in the right direction with my truck. I’ll start from the beginning when I bought it about 3 months ago. I’ve got a 2006 Ford Ranger xlt 2wd automatic with the 3.0 Vulcan engine. So when I first purchased the truck it ran perfect and I...

Hello everyone, My name is Henrique and I'm here to present to you a very common model in South America that some of you may not know. It is a 2007 Ford Ranger XLS 3.0 4x4. Engine: It has an International NGD 3.0 Turbo Diesel (with intercooler) engine, that makes 160hp (163cv) @3800 rpm and...

I'm getting ready to pull the heads in my 94 3.0 vulcan and replace an exhaust valve and lap all the others. From what I can see, it has MLS head gaskets, but I can't find them for this year. Will they work off of another year 3.0? I understand MLS is more for aluminum to cast and aluminum to...
