Apparently so lol but my 3.0 is still running. In fact I believe I have the first year there were 3.0s and I have no problem with it. It's reliable and has enough power for me right now. Never has given me any trouble at all doesn't burn oil, leak or anything. I thought the was a Ranger owners site for everyone. Not just Ranger owners with 4.0s. Every should just get along

Or at least made it an option. Never understood why they never did offer a 5.0 in them. Especially the Ranger GT

My older 4.0 was rated at what? " 160 hp (119 kW) and 225 lb·ft (305 N·m)"
and teh 3.0 is ... "power rating of 140 hp (100 kW) and a torque rating of 160 lb·ft (220 N·m)."
so my 4.0 is damn close to the 3.0 ....oh no does that mean i am part of the 3.0 crowd?
edit: i hate that my ranger should have the newer SOHC with a rating of "210 hp (157 kW) and 254 lb·ft "

My 99 3.0 FFV has 150 hp and 190 ft lb of torque

Horsepower isn't what kills the 3.0. It's the limited amount of torque.

Well if you hate the 3.0 so much then stop crying about it and get a 4 cylinder or 4.0

I'm pretty sure I didn't cry. I listed numerous points, and that was it. I had a 2.5 previously, and that motor was still better than the 3.0, even with 189,000 miles. I will eventually buy a 4.0 and swap it in my Ranger, and I'm 100% positive it too will be better than my 3.0.
Man, now I know what DJ feels like when he talks down the Ranger.

You just listed a bunch of things to call the 3.0 bad but haven't really said one good reason why it is a bad engine.
And no the torque argument its not a good reason.
