i know im gonna sound like an idiot

My list of things to do on your truck would be:

-check air filter
-check spark plug gap
-replace fuel filter
-replace cat. converters (a single aftermarket hi-flow replacement is sufficient) and if you have the $$$ go to a full 2.5" exhaust


Seafoam wouldn't hurt, and neither would a good (Lucas is the brand I use) injector cleaner.

thanks, im gonna do some of that probably tomorrow, what if i ran no cats with a muffler right off the manifold? it would be loud, but who cares lol should i do that? or go with a hi-flow and if so what brand is best?

Before that whole can of worms gets opened, run the hi-flow cat and a muffler. There's a lot of $$$ that could be spent on exhaust parts, it's generally you get what you pay for. If your buying online look for name brands like magnaflow/flowmaster etc, if your buying somewhere local (many parts stores carry them) check the contruction between a few different ones, some are made very cheaply.

alright ill get one should i look for a 2.5" one and just run 2.5" all the way? and im gonna do a new intake, fuel filter gap the spark plugs, and sea foam it this weekend and maybe the cat too, and i need to look into o2 sensors

 

[wahlstrom1]

I'd run 2.5" from the Y pipe back. Get it done and less us know how it goes!

I agree a full tune up should do it wonders with the performance, maybe try cleaning the MAF I had an issue with mine and a good cleaning will do wonders. You should be able to kill those tires, my truck has 320,000 miles with the original cats in it. Its a 5 speed with 3:27 gears with 33" Goodyear MTRs and I can smoke them better than my dads Z3

 

[juggalomania92]

alright, i should be getting most of it done this weekend
ive cleaned my MAF sensor before but i have the 3.8 one, i bought my truck from pwrranger88 about a year ago, but im gonna pick up all of the parts and get them in saturday, im still trying to find time to put my 4" lift in haha

 

[juggalomania92]

alright so yesterday i ran seafoam into the truck half a can in the tank the other have through the booster line and it seems more responsive on the way home about a 30 minute ride and when i was close i got the tires to break loose a little better so thats good, im still gonna get an air filter though, but should i go back to the stock box?

 

[wahlstrom1]

I see no need to, just get a good quality filter and go from there. The full tune up wouldn't hurt either.

when i used your tuck to run to napa i got it to brake free no problem... but seriously go back to the factory style intake that cone filter i put on it is more like a hot air intake im pretty sure i have a factory intake in my garage . any thing shoot me a text i lost you number

haha i knew you would post on this, and i knew that you did that when you went to napa lol but yeah im trying to go to a factory intake, i will soon dont worry and i like how my truck is still your picture lol

Premium grade fuel?? I have the same setup you have, with the exception of the worn-out tires (3.73 limited slip, 94 super cab) and it will break traction if my foot turns to lead.... also I have a LUK clutch in it so nothing fancy.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

tune her up and practice your launches. because i can smoke the tires on the 03 2.3 my mom drives, and even my 2.5 with 30" tires lol, both 3.73 geared and 5 speed.

 

[mhughes165]

the 4.0 should have no issues roasting the tires through first and second, i know the 2.9s will....i say in addition to needing a tuneup among another things it may be driver error lol

 

[trader007]

word here too. 99 4.0L in a XLT extended cab ranger with limited slip... i can light them up on dry pavement with an automatic, and if there is any kind of moisture on the roads i have to be REALLY careful not to spin the backend out while im driving through the city.
