    i got bored so here are a few pics of where my truck is resting till it either gets sold or gets a heart transplant. i found a motor with low miles and am going to look at it later this week. if i grab it, itll still be a while before the swap begins. but heres my rangers resting place.

    i hope i can keep it. i checked out the motor today, turns ou the guy on the phone told me 33K miles were on a 4.0L not a 3.0L, they have a 3.0 with 94K.. what do you guys think.. id replace the cam synchronizer before putting it in so it wouldnt **** up on me, put my old one on a stand and rebuild it and keep it for when i kill this one..

    Completely agree with everyone, get the one w 94k(replace came sync like you said) and then hold onto yours as a build project.. maybe boost it while its out?

    But my 3.0's got like 160k on it and still runnin strong.. I got an oil leak but its just because my trucks p.o. stripped the oil pan bolt hole and it leaks around the bolt if I don't use silicon gasket maker stuff..
