Hey guys, what's going on? my name is Kieran Palmeira, I was Born on the island of Kaua'i in the island of Hawai'i. I recently moved to las Vegas and I've been a spectator of this website for about 2 years now (I think?) but I have now decided that I wanted to be apart of the ranger-forum family, to share knowledge, and to also take in knowledge, For my whip I get one 2000 extra cab step side ranger. this is my pride and joy. my girlfriend hates when I talk about it hence I do everyday. I worked hard for this truck, and I noticed that my engine seized up... and I was wondering how to over come it. I haven't stripped her down yet. but I was wanting to know if this is a common problem for the 3.0's cause I've seen a lot of the issues everywhere. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't being crazy.. but anyways I want you all to know that I am a new member here. ad I am planning to be a member here for a while. thank you have a good day! aloha
