it isn't to bad for 33'' tires and 3.73 gears, not ideal but it works.

when i get off the gas, listen how loud my tires are. ha

YouTube - 5.0 ranger with cold tires.

 

dang that's revving high!!

 

Dude, no kidding... is that tach not calibrated for the 5.0? Wtf? Haha.

 

looks slower then my geared 4.0.. lol regear that sumbitsh

 

yeah i didn't change the wire, so its like 33% higher than normal. ha should of mentioned that.

i need to regear but a sas is in the future, so less i have to pay for the ifs and current axles the better.

and stock isn't the 4.0 like 210 hp and the 5.0 215?

its not full throttle though.

i tired to do a exhaust video but the phone doesn't really pick it up.

 

ah damn well get all that fixed and then do another vid! i'd like to see the difference between the 5.0 and a SOHC lol

 

at least i wasnt the only one thinking it was no quicker than a 4.0.. lol

sounds good though!

 

From some googling.

With a 16-valve overhead camshaft configuration and a sequential electronic fuel-injection system, the "5.0L" engine of the 1999 Mercury Mountaineer generates 215 horsepower at 4,200 rpm and 288 foot-pounds of torque at 3,300 rpm.


SOHC:
It features a variable length intake manifold and produces 210 hp (157 kW) and 254 lb·ft (344 N·m)

so 5 more hp and 34 more torque.

so bad gears + 33'' i can see why its slow :P haha

 

you have something that the 4.0sohc lacks....

good aftermarket support... and a great sounding engine lol

 

^^^ Don't forget that it's a reliable engine and nothing replaces a V8s torque. ^^^
