3.0

Hi I have a 1994 ford ranger 3.0 and I'm replacing the clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder and I noticed on the new flywheel in the center where it bolts on to crankcase is about .25 in thicker then the old one and now the bolts only engage the threads about a .25 of a inch to the flywheel. My...

We’ve replaced the fuel pump twice and still aren’t getting it to kick on, we’ve tested the relay, inertia switch, and checked voltage at fuel pump connection and voltage seems to be good. Any other reason the fuel pump wouldn’t kick on even if it’s getting power??

So I have a ''97' Ford ranger 3.0 and the headlights just stopped working for no reason, now when I push forward for the brights they don't work but when I pull back the high beams work fine, and I checked the bulbs and the wiring and the fuses,wiring harness and I changed the lights switch and...

Long time lurker first time poster... Got a 94 that started off as a 3.0, now bored over .10 on each cyl, mustang heads and rockers, lightened flywheel, electric fan conversion, and a gutted intake (got rid of the stupid vacuum activated emissions bs). I'd still like just a little more power...

Was thinking I’d pull the trigger and get a complete workshop manual so that I can look everything up on my own. Only question is, what year manuals are transferable to my year? And can I just get a Ford Ranger manual rather than a Mazda B-series manual? Ranger ones seem to be more...

Hello all! I have been working on my dad's Ranger on and off for a month. It was in bad shape when he got it. Insanity bad shake at startup and would never go away. Shaking would increase from 50mph and decrease at 60. AC doesn't work, coolant temp sensor code won't let the PCM activate the...

Hello once again, I'm back at it in this abusive relationship ship with my 02 3.0 manual. I recently pulled the trans to do the rear main and now the wont go into gear while running. I've bled the entire clutch system several times and yes I made sure to have it in neutral before I pulled the...

I chased problems with my 2003 Ford Ranger XL 3.0 for a long time and replaced so many parts, to deal with it running so badly until it barely could drive at all, spending literally thousands of dollars to get it running again. I'm hoping that by sharing this, it might help other owners of Ford...

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 5 speed. It had manual locks and windows. I’m wanting to install a remote start. I’ve installed one on my old 2005 f250 but I can’t seam to find a system made for the Ranger. Anybody know what’s a good system to get for it? What else I will need? Thanks

Hi everybody! I'm trying to source new injectors for my 2002 B3000 (non-flex fuel), and I noticed Tasca was sold out on the Mazda injectors (1f2113250b) but still had stock of the Ford version (4L5Z-9F593-A). I'm assuming these are actually the same part but second guessed myself because the...

Hello forum goers, Been trying to research this one on my own but since a failing cam synchronizer could be the problem I don’t want to mess things up more by doing a bunch of tests on things I really don’t know all that much about. I am a novice. So here’s the issue: a couple days ago I had a...

I spent a lot of time looking for dimensioned drawings or CAD models of the transmission bolt patterns (for reasons). None existed as far as I could tell. I tried perspective flattening, tracing, and scaling images from google, but was having a hard time trusting them. Finally I had the...

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...
