Hello!

[Maggrett]

My name is Mike and I appreciate your site! I recently bought a 1990 Ford Ranger XLT with a 2.9l and 5 speed transmission. I don't like the truck...I love it!

You'll fit in well with the 2.9 Mafia. Welcome.

2.9 reference links, euro and american

Please guys, no replies unless to add link only. Sites I use to do homework on engine and euro stuff, and all cologne family. Welcome to the rabbit hole... http://forum.merkurclub.com/forum/index.php?sid=f02b0da0967e40619e73d24071700c26 https://www.rpmrons.com/index.html...

That leads to the rabbit hole. The 2.9 is a cool little critter that swings above its weight class due to light weight, efficient design, and a flat torque curve.

A few tweaks here and there with them and they are really impressive for their era.


....just.... literally never overheat it.


....like seriously. never overheat it.

Never, ever overheat your 2.9l
