2008 ranger 3.0L Spark Plug Wire Routing

I believe i got a couple of the wires mixed up. I cannot find an accurate diagram of where each spark plug wire need to go on the enigne. If anyone has a diagram or knows the correct firing order that would be greatly appreciated, i have a 2008 ford ranger 3.0L . I have replaced all 6 spark plugs with Motorcraft Platinum sp500's and Factory Motorcraft spark plug wires.

I think your diagram is incorrect. The V6 Vulcan engine is set out as follows:

Starting on the passenger side front of the truck is cylinder 1, then it goes back 2 and 3. Again standing in front of the truck looking at the passenger side the first cylinder is 1, then 2, then 3 going back. 3 is passenger side nearest the firewall.

Starting on the driver side front of the truck is cylinder 4, then it goes back to 5 and 6. Again Standing in front of the truck looking at the driver side the first cylinder is 4, then 5, then 6 going back. 6 is the driver side nearest the firewall.

3 6
2 5
1 4

Forgive my repetition, I am just trying to make sure what I am describing is clear as far as which cylinder position for that engine.

As far as the coil pack, here you go:

1 2 3
5 6 4

I hope this helps you out.
