So my brother's hating because I ordered my underdog pulleys, and he wants them. does anyone know if they will also fit his taurus. i thought it was the same engine just side loaded. Anyone have any idea or personal experiences with trying to do this?

 

go to taurusclub.com, they can help you

 

you need to give more details. what size engine does he have and what size engine do you have?
tell your brother to quit being a leach and buy is own.

 

It's probably the 3.0 vulcan, I'm not sure if the ranger came with the duratec, or vise versa

 

your brother sounds like a baby. Make him learn something about his own car.

 

all i know is that its a 3.0, my ranger is a 99 3.0 flex

 

tell him to buy his own stuff.

 

he's my twin. enough said

 

the taurus came with the 3.0L Duratec

 

i thought it was a vulcan until 07

 

the taurus came with either the tec or vulcan, it doesn't depend on the year, it just depends on the model

 

i thought the taurus only came with the tec oh well shows what i know lol

 

i wanna say its ses or sel, i kno its not a sho

 

it wont work. so tell him to quit whining.

 

^ man u are brutal

 

the SE/SES/SEL are just trim/comfort models, i had an SE with the tec

that was a really good engine until it broke, 200hp stock, i beat plenty of ricer civics and integras, and i LOVED the look on their face when i look back hahahaha, they're all confused to hell and thinking "did that taurus wagon just beat my ***?"

 

haha thats awsome,
does anyone know how to tell the difference between the two?

 

haha i'm not trying to be, i'm just saying...

the difference is the duratec is a DOHC 3.0L.

our 3.0 is a cam in block.

 

the duratec says 'DURATEC' right on the valve cover, here's a pic of the tec, and below is a vulcan(on both engines, up until '99 the intake was metal, and from 2000 on the intake was made out of plastic, but they still look the same)

 

easiest way is to look at the valve cover (or cam cover) on both engines. The cam cover on the duratec is much larger with the plugs going through it, and the vulcan is a simple valve cover.

 

so if its durtech it will say it and wont work, and vulcan will just say 3.0 and will. thanks guys

 

if anyone cares, its a vulcan

 

so did you tell him they were different anyways?

 

i just told him to pop the hood loked told him wat it was told him wat mine was.
