I have a 1998 ford ranger xlt with the 3.0 and its 2wd with 185,000 miles on it. For the past 2 months its been bucking while I drive and its lost performance and sounds like i have a misfire. It only bucks when i accelerate or when i stay at a constant speed over 40. I have checked for low compression but they all have good compression, ive changed plugs and plug wires, ive checked spark and all cylinders have good spark, ive checked for a vacuum leak and there isnt one, ive checked fuel pressure and it was low it was at 40 so we changed the pump just last night, and it had a misfire in cylinder 4 when i bought it a year ago, it had a cylinder 3 misfire and that went away, and now its got a cylinder 5 misfire, it also loses water pretty quick i have to refill my radiator at least every 2 and a half weeks. The only mods on the truck are a set of nitto terra grapplers size 225/75R16 on a set of KMC XD series hoss 795 and a radio from boss audio. Its very annoying and id love for it to be gone.please reply with any info that might help. Im just at a loss of what it might be
