I wasnt suppose to hit enter, sorry. I saw in a post that someone said all the 3.0L are 150 hp in the B-Series and have 190 lbs torque. In the brochure it lists as 143/180, I was wondering if you knew exactly what your specs were. The ranger brochure lists 150/190. Just wondering, thanks. |

| It's 150/190 for the B3000. B3000 is a big diff from the B2500 You get more guts. Actaully, a lot more guts at low rpms. But the B4000 blows them both out of the water. The new 2001 engine should be good too. But the old 4.0 spools up faster than the new 4.0. But 4.0 eats gas. | |
| I've heard that the standard fuel 3.0L is rated as 143/180. And the Flexible Fuel 3.0L is rated as the 150/190. My B3000 is the Flexible Fuel 3.0L. I have not tried running the alternative fuel to date... | |
| Need an opinion. Last week, I purchased the Superchips Module for the 3.0L engine. With the package came a statement that the Superchips Module might not work on some 3.0L engines because of a circuit board wiring change by the manufacturer. Well, I've apparantly got one of these boards in my 3.0L. The engine will not start when the Superchips Module is installed. Superchips says that they will modify the board, free of charge. Turn around time is about 3 or 4 days. I will have to mail the board and the module to Superchips for the alteration. They guarantee the work. What to do? Should I send my computer board in to be modified, or just forget the whole thing and get a refund? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks... | |
| If you truck is still under warranty get a refund. Wait until it goes out of warranty and then buy the chip.... | |

I'll agree with vince on that one about the 3.0L in the the B-Series brochure it is listed as the flexible fuel but 143/150 I believe its 150/190 though. |
|
| Thanks guys. That suggestion makes sense. I'll wait on having the board modified... | |
| I should have said in the above entry that I will have the board modified IF I still own the B3000 after the warranty expires. I will be taking a serious look at the 2001 Rangers and B-Series with the SOHC 4.0L!!! | |
| Had a chance to test drive the 3.0L? Just wondering... | |
|
|
| No I haven't. I have been so busy lately with working and I have a personal golf coach that I meet with every day. So one day | |
