Re: Truck Very Slow
Why do you think I called mine NoPower? I also have the 3.0. My turtles are faster on take off.

Re: Truck Very Slow
It is slow. It's a small truck. It tows shit and pulls things; there is no whiplash package.

Mine has no problems found what I need. If you want power turbos. Supercharger or nitrous. But the safest bet is increase displacement (v8 swap or bigger v6).

What's your rear axle ratio?

I think you should find somebody with another Ranger like yours (3.0L and close to same year). Then ride in it or drive it and see how yours matches up. If your truck is a lot slower, then it's on to mechanical checks (dragging brakes, plugs, MAF, IAC, etc., to pinpoint the problem).

I don't know why you all say 3.0s are dogs I got an 04 ranger 2wd 3.0 auto with a 4:10 rear. I cut the air box removed cats also added a super chip and just keep it maintained my truck will stomp on most newer non-sports cars no it's not gonna beat a v8 mustang but it blows the doors off a v6 mustang. There's nothing boat anchor about the 3.0 you all must have no clue on how to make a smaller engine faster I have built all motor 4 cylinders that have made 210-230 whp there's ways to make anything faster I will say a 3.0 auto trans is junk all over I have put 2 in now and now I'm swapping for a 5 speed

haha. I needed a good laugh today. There's nothing fast about the 3.slow. Removing cats and a tuner do next to nothing for them. I see right though your lie

With all your experience building small engines maybe you should start a build thread of your engine modifications. We need more experts on how to cut cats off and plug in a superchip tuner. Don't forget detailed pictures of where you cut your airbox. Thanks.

Don't forget Dyno numbers to show power gain. Both before and after

You can do little things to "wake it up" like a real good tune up, clean maf and throttle body, i havent done it but i imagine the most "bang for your buck" modification on one of these would be an electric fan. I am really surprised these trucks run a fan clutch but i guess thats one of the reasons they run forever also.
Do the intake box mod and get a cat back it will sound faster, maybe free up a tiny bit of power. If you have an auto then i apologize lol thats even worse. And someone already asked but a set of gears will definitely allow you to "feel" the power thats already there a bit better.
If you are planning to try and make this truck fast then you need to look at a swap or forced induction. If you just want it to sound a little better and "feel" a LITTLE quicker/more powerful. Then intake mod/catback/e-fan/gears and most important a good tune up.

Re: Truck Very Slow
So are you talking like $50 to make your truck faster or $5,000 to make your truck faster

removing cats and that superchips did nothing but change shift points and make the truck sound like ass. Cutting your airbox just made noise.
And I doubt your 3.0 could even keep up with a 3.8 mustang. I know it wont even see a 4.0 or 3.7 Stang.
