Volant Cold Air Intake -bad
Airaid Poweraid -bad
Jet Power Mass Air Sensor -useless for your application
Warn Trans4mer Brush Guard -aesthetic, up to you
Rancho RS9000x Shocks -good
Power Slot Slotted Rotors -bad, seen too many aftermarket rotors crack
B&M Hi-Tek Oil And Automatic Transmission Cooler -good, but dont bypass the stock cooler...run both
Jet Performance Chips Control Module -OK, but a programmer gives you more freedom
True-Rev Sport induction kit -bad
MSD DIS-4 replacement ignition control -might smooth idle and low end power
spark plug wires (let me know what is good for spark plug wires) -any decent replacement 8MM wire
JBA Headers -good
Dynomax Cat-Back Exhaust system -aesthetic, up to you (dont expect power gains)

Leave the stock stuff in there Save the money and give your truck a real good tune up.

 

[Ranger5.0]

what are you trying todo to your truck.? youve posted a few posts asking questions that dont seam to show any type of plan or direction. its a 3.0, its not a massive performer, and bolt ons wont give it massive power......they dont give massive power on any engine.

 

[jammons5126]

well what kind of tune up then eh

 

[Ranger5.0]

well, there is only one kind of tune up. The right kind. This involves changing oil&filters, greasing anything on the chassie. Replacing fuel filter. Plugs and wires. Make sure all your tire pressures are up to snuff as well. im not trying to be rude, but like i said, its a 3.0, they arnt massive power producers to begine with. if you WANT power, save your money for a 5.0 swap

4" body lift? im pritty damn sure that isnt legal, or even offered lol. If you feel you have less power then needed, it could be cuz of the bigger tires throwing off your final drive ratio. Invest in lower gears, that will offset the big tires.

Amen

well, like, he's got a few threads goin on regarding more power and more noise, but never said much about the truck. now i understand why its doggin' it, its spinnin bigger tires, and sites higher in the air, so its a losing battle, its less arodynamic now, and the engine lost the leverage it once had to move the rig

 

[kunar]

well, like, he's got a few threads goin on regarding more power and more noise,

yea, i've seen them. they have all been recently hit with the same 'copy and paste' check out my truck link too...

It's a hack! don't click on it!!!

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

its just his cardomain....

theres nothing wrong with wanting to do a buildup on a 3.0. jammons just needs to realize it isnt going to happen with bolt on chrome tubes and shiney things. there isnt much aftermarket support for serious power adders for the 3.0...so anything that you want to do will have to be custom done, and that means spending serious cash and a lot more effort on the users end.

that said, checking your current gear ratio and matching your gears to those tires is THE place to start.

 

[jammons5126]

thanks wicked sludge. it aint a hack its jsut my cardomain about my truck. I dont know much about vehicles so that is why i am asking these questions on here i dont think it hurts anyone to ask questions. Hell i am learning new things
