#242 of 256 3.0L Automatic 0-60 by mortal1 Oct 19, 2009 (3:00 pm)
Does anyone have an official 0-60 time for a 3.0 Auto ford ranger?   I ask, because I'm car shopping for a new car, and I'd like a objective measure of my current ranger's acceleration for comparison.   It seems like the auto press has avoided the 3.0L ranger like the plague, because *all* of the reviews I have found are for the 4.0L. I haven't timed the 0-60 myself because, well it's hard to find a place where you can legally stop, and then floor the gas and hit 60, all whilst timing the whole darn thing with a stop watch.   I did see a few youtube videos that hit 60 around 14 seconds. I'm sure you could drop at least a half second off that with a trained driver brake torquing or something.   I always knew my ranger was slow (passing is usually a white knuckle event requiring hundreds of yards of clear space), but I had no idea it was that bad. I think I could just about be smoked by a smart lol... Replies to this message: bolivar (Oct 19, 2009 5:52 pm)

#244 of 256 googling by mortal1 Oct 19, 2009 (7:00 pm)
yes, and further googling would reveal the source as a 2000 ford ranger xlt with the 4.0L engine...   If you find something on the 3.0L, please let me know. Replies to this message: bolivar (Oct 20, 2009 12:22 am)

I did come across a few 1/4 mile times clustering around ~17.8ish. There is such a thing as scary slow...

Replying to: fredpettit (Apr 21, 2009 8:18 pm) if you havent figured it out yet, it sounds like you have a clogged cat converter, you described the systems they can cause when they go bad, if you replace it you can take the old one to a recycle place and get some money for it to

Replying to: duece69 (Oct 24, 2009 8:38 am) Wild, wild guess - the PCV valve or its line is plugged. Blowby pressure that usually gets 'relieved' thru the PCV is not getting 'relieved' and it is forcing oil up the tube.
#250 of 256 Re: 2005 4l engine quits running and restarts immediately [ranwill] by glider_man Oct 31, 2009 (9:59 pm)
Replying to: ranwill (Jan 30, 2009 4:10 pm) I think my ’05 4.0 does the same thing but the problem is very intermittent. However the other night it happened 3 times. Again I also checked the PCM codes and found no codes. I was reading the Chiltons repair manual and learned that errors are only reported if the error occurs in 2 subsequent driving cycles which means that it is highly likely that this problem will never pop a code. The alternator theory sound interesting but I’m not sure how to try it under the conditions I have.
#251 of 256 No Power by tick2 Nov 25, 2009 (11:55 am)
Hi,   We have 1 2006 Ford Ranger Diesel 3.0lts 5 speed manual trans and 1 2007 Ford Ranger Diesel 2.8lts 5 speed manual trans. Both had to be overhauled but the engine have no power. We have set the timing to what the manual is stating but it bearly reaches 80 kms per hour in 4th gear. We have scanned it to see if a sensor is bad but the scanner does not pick up anything. Can someone give me some advise?
