truck using ALOT of gas


engine?/tranny?/mileage?/history of the truck?

all these things would help. what you posted really doesnt do anything.
 
how many gallons at fill up?
 
the motor is out of a 2002 turus the truck has the orginal trans. 130,000 is on the dash and the old motor was blown by a rod end bolt broke. the history is unknown. if you drive 5-10 miles the over drive light will blink we shut the truck off and start it the light well go out.

Holy Crap! My 98 gets 400 miles per tank. You are in serious need of some diagnostics. Good luck.
 
sounds like second gear and binding too.....
 
um... have you put an obd II reader on it? is your CEL on? what gears are in the axles? tire size
 
damn! i barely pull 250 on a good week! then again my drives are short and i drive it hard
 
When they put the taurus engine in did they replace the headgaskets as well?

The ranger and taurus use the same 3L but the head gasket designs are different due to the differences of RWD and FWD.

Other than that....maybe check around the bay for unplugged connectors and pull any codes.
 
Check your o2 sensors, I was getting about 10 MPG with mine unplugged. I dont have any experience with your transmission though.
 
my dad and me did the swap and we replaced all gaskets. my dad is over the road trucker and we will look at the o2 sen this week end.thanks you for all the post keep them coming
