I have a 5.0L. But it's not in a RBV.

We have 3 RBV's in our yard, now all belonging to my Dad. A smashed up 90 Ranger, a 91 Exploder, and my 94 Exploder (now Dad's).

 

7.3 Turbo Diesel Oh yeaaaaa!!!




























-3.3 and yeah -the turbo diesel =4.0 Ranger Power!!!!!

If it counts my cousin has a sweet 7.3 turbo diesel 97' F250 chipped, stacks, gauge pods, stage 2 injectors ect...

 

damn us 4.0's are killing... i would have figured there'd be more 3.0's than anything

 

i wonder what the polls would be like on other forums

 

4.woah all the way


Rocky

 

i thought so too

 

I see only 4 of us so far have a "hybrid". lol

 

I am concidering buying a ford ranger and was wondering what are the pro's and con's the 3.0 and the 4.0 motors?

 

try starting in a new thread next time
3.0 -- decent gas mileage, lacks the massive amount of ballz that most people like
4.0 -- ok gas mileage, more than enought power

 

5.0- More POWER and More TORQUE. Pretty good gas mileage as well when not in the throttle

 

i know there are more people out there!

tonight is a bumping night

 

With a 3.0, you dont get power or gas mileage, so its a lose lose situation. lol Is that true? They dont have much more power than the 4cyl, but yet they dont get great gas mileage either. I'd want either the power, or gas mileage, not a little bit of both.

 

3.0 seems to be the medium between the two, when done right the 3.0 can get decent mileage but not the amount of hp that the 4.0 has, the 4-banger has the mileage

 

when I was looking at used rangers there were waaaaay more 3.0's than anything. poll results are interesting.

 

i got the 3.0 and im getting 25 mpg.!!!

 

i would love to get a 4.0L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

 

I wish i had a 4.0 over this 3.0. The 3.0 doesn't get great gas milage and it doesn't have lots of power. Knowing what i know now i would have either got the 4 banger or the 4.0.

 

how sad, there are only 16 4 cyl trucks on this site out of 180!!!!!

The 4 cyl.'s acceleration really isn't that bad, specially since I can get 23 mpg without even trying, its a whole lot better than the 11 mpg my old truck got, and it wasn't any faster than my ranger, and it was a V8! lol

 

Looks like 6 bangers rule this thread....

SORRY guys, NO OFFENSE intended!

How many remember the commercial that stated "WOW, I could of had a V8"......

OBTW: 355 cubes = 5.8 liter of BRUTE HORSEPOWER!!!

 

3.ahh.............can't wait for gears!!!!!!!!

 

4.0

 

and more 3.0's and 4.0's come pourin in.

 

3.0! It's got some get up and go! Only 16 mpg though!

 

i know there are more people on here now that havent taken the poll

 

3.0

vroom vroom... all I need is some whipple and a tuner...anyone wanna donate?
