I will be buying a Ranger soon and am thinking of getting a 3.0 v6 rwd with a manual transmission. I am looking at 04+ model years. I have read in several places that the 04-06 3.0s were manufactured with faulty heads. Will pretty much any 04-06 3.0 need the heads replaced sooner or later? Is it safe to buy one from these years as long as the heads have been replaced already? Any other reliability issues with 04+ 3.0s? I don't know if I will be able to find an 07 or 08 3.0 in my price range of $3-4K. I am looking for trucks with around 125-175K miles. Thanks
