Post Hey, new here! ranger 3.0

Hello,

I have a 2008 Ford Ranger 4x2 3.0 V6 Automatic

I joined this forum to learn what I can do to improve my truck, its basically just stock everything right now.

Wanted to get an exhaust, an air intake, a performance tuner, and better suspension.

So please, give me some tips!

Welcome man....


First rule of thumb with the 3.0 is to keep an eye on the camshaft synchronizer and position sensor...it drices your oil pump so if it fails your engine is ruined.. I just did a How-To on replacing them...also a video...check out the how-to engine section.

Other than the cam sync issue the 3.0 is a good reliable engine...but not a powerhorse..dont expect to get alot more horsepower from it without spending thousands of dollars...and at that rate u would be better off to drop in a 302 from an explorer.


Got any other questions..just ask..
