Re: Overheating - can't find problem

I should hace thought of this a while back..... Bypass your heater at the firewall and see what happens. Just wondering if your heater core is "mostly" not working properly.

Re: 2000 Ford Ranger Supercab 2wd 3.0l 5speed mpg's

if you have 4.10 gears of lower (gasp) you will get lousy mileage for the most part. If you have 3.55 or higher, you will loose torque, but will get good mileage and engine's rpm will be lower.

Re: Typical RPM at highway speeds?

4.10 gears is main reason for high rpm's on my vehicle. The vehicles with low rpm's while going 70 mph is because they have 3.55 or even higher gears.

Re: Exhaust system

flowmaster has the 60 series - supposedly it is excellent for 6cyl engines; loud enough outside and quiet inside. They have a video of an import running with 60 series, but it is hard to judge.

it's a 2005 Edge; 3.0; AT
