Im getting around 20 mpg with my 2001 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0 v6 with a manual trans.If I put a 3in spindle lift and 33in BF Goodrich AT's,how will that affect my gas mialge?I dont have anything special besides a flowmaster exhaust,and I do mostly highway miles.Thanks

 

you have 4.10s or 3.73s?

 

Not too sure,whatever comes stock with the Edge,I just got the truck a month ago so I havent had time to get into it and do what I want.

 

look at the tag, on the rear axle diff cover it will say 88 or 75 and some other numbers.

 

Its 3.73's.

 

Oh yeah,I also have underdrive pullys.

 

You may notice it drop with those 3.73's. I had 4.10's w/ 33x12.50's and a 3.0 and I was getting 18 mpg in city. I had intake, exhaust, maf mod, throttle cable mod, and an Xcal tuner.

 

Im gonna get some 33 10.5's also,I hope it wont drop too bad.

 

If it's mostly highway miles i shouldn't change or it might get a little better since the overall diameter of the tire will change the final gear ratio. Which would put your engine at a lower RPM at the same speed with smaller tires.

 

....until he has to go up a hill, my 3.0 boggs down

 

All I can say is in my 2002 Edge with a 3 inch spindle lift kit I was getting around 11-12 mpg in the City. Which is terrible, so I try not to drive a lot. I recently had my gears switched out and the ratio's played with, and I think that's improved it a little bit but I haven't checked it out yet.

 

Its gonna dive hard.
