[duneshredder911]

Dumb question but how can I tell if my girlfriends 94 ford ranger she bought is a 3.0 or 4.0.....the guy said he though it was the 3.o but he didn't know miuch about trucks. I looked under the hood at the belt diagram or something like that and it only showed the 4.o..but I looked through receipts of oil changes and a couple said 3.o and most of them said 4.0...good runing truck with only 91k miles...so sounds dumb but wpuld like some help..thanks

From the information given I have to say it's a 3.5

If its really slow its a 3.0 if its only kinda slow its a 4.0.

Haha ya but that's not always the case...I've seen 3.os stomp all over 4.os and other way around to...my ranger is a 4.0 and it rips but its also a 03 and stick

So, do you think a V6 sandcar could beat a V8 sandcar up Comp hill?

O o don't know what do u think....I don't see what that's has to do with my question? I said my truck was pretty quick not due to the motor but the hp to weight ratio.....and ya I tried looking at the motors themselves but mine is the edge so the frame is different and the motor is mounted up different. Plus I looked at my bros 02 3.0 auto and it was still a lil different...I just barely got my truck for my 16th bday so im fairly new to them.

[dunefreak]

take a pic of the motor- I think I remember what they look like enough to tell you the difference

[ltr450]

Look for the vin# part places can tell a lot about your truck.... that's if it's stock and the motor hasn't been replaced good luck

[ltr450rider]

My S-10 has a 4.3 and from what I've heard, bigger is better. :stir:

Oh Sorry Matt, I wandered off the subject.

If the motor is stock, This may help ya.

Look at the 8th digit of the VIN #.

Good luck mang.

I don't think for made a 3.0L in a truck. Those were for passenger cars only. It should be the 4.0L.

I've heard the opposite actually. More Rangers tend to have the 3.0 over the 4.0. Normally the upgraded models like the Edge and FX4 have the 4.0. :black:

[dunefreak]

Ford Rangers had BOTH. Most of them the the 3.0, but on some certain models (like ltr450 said) they had the 4.0
