I thought only Plymouth fury's had souls...

 

[Snoranger]

They have souls ya know.

Bullshit.
The 2.9L is the red-headed stepchild of the Ranger family and as we all know... red heads have no soul.

 

[Curious Hound]

I pooped in the furnace.

Again? You need to lock the access door shut and put up a sign pointing to the toilet.

Bullshit.

Actually the redheaded stepchild would be the 3.0 seeing as how its not a blood reliative to any other RBV V6.

The 2.9 is the angry middle child with something to prove.

 

[Bird76Mojo]

Actually the redheaded stepchild would be the 3.0 seeing as how its not a blood relative to any other RBV V6.

The 2.9 is the angry, adopted, foreign bastard child that always fails at everything they attempt.

I feexed for yous

Then that would make the 4.0 the egotistical over achiever with a tiny weiner that refuses to leave the closet.

So where does that leave the 2.8?

Well, my 4.0sohc consistently over-achieves, and out-performs my expectations.. It's been a real workhorse for it's size. So I'd say you're on to something..

Can't say that about any of the several 2.9 shitboxes I owned. Every single one of them failed to achieve anything. They always disappointed me no matter how much money and time was sunk in to them.. and I sunk well over 12k in to 2 separate 2.9's

I never owned a 2.8 Ranger. I have to say though, the ones I have seen around here over the years were excellent trucks for their owners. The engine seemed like a very solid design. Though a lot of them had carb and vacuum hose spaghetti problems that plagued them.
