horsepower. not looking for sound and looks arent important really.

I'm not lookikng for any particular sound/tone.. nothing too drastic/loud though. I'm wanting it more for the performance and not mcuh for the noise. It is a 3.0L V6 enigne.. 2000 model

I have been thinking about getting a new exaust system for my ranger. I have looked around a bit.. but really have no idea what the diffecene is other than price. I'm looking for a lower end price tag and something that not super loud. One of those easy switch-outs which all I looked at seem...

What kind of price tag would that bring?I was thinking of going ahead and having it repainted, as there is a decent number of places where theres a nice sized spot with paint chipped off. Dont know how mucht hat would cost either though

My truck used to be a work truck and had writing on the tailgate. They pulled off all the lettering and such, but now where the letters were the paint is much cleaner/shinyer, etc. since it had who knows how many years less sun and weather hitting it.How do I get rid of this, or blend it in...

Doh I totally forgot.. sorry! It's a 2000 Ranger Flareside.. 3.0 V6From my little looking around,, I've been eyeing this.. any reviews? good? bad? is there something better than this ? http://www.autoanything.com/air-intakes/61A1817A0A0.aspx

Ok.. so I'm getting the itch to make my truck a little better I need to scratch.What are some ideas for increasing it's power output i guess you could say.. things that arent ridiculously expensive and can be done at home.Any suggestions are great. Not looking to make it real noisy (not...

I believe it passed 125k recently

A new cat? Not sure I know what part that is. Unless it needs to be replaced after 10-15k miles Im sure it has a good one in it. As I believe I stated before the previous owner took good care of it.

I do believe theyre Bosch. He also had Bosch plug wires in it. Autozone only has DUralast or something.. and Bosch plug wires. I think they only had one type of Motocraft plugs which were the regular ones with one prong.

No idea on the gears. That aspect of vehicles is way out of my league currently. Im not looking for more power necisarily.. just want to keep it running as efficient as possible.I noticed the last owner replaced the spark plugs with some better ones (the ones with four "prongs" instead of one...

Its got close to 124k miles. I imagine the previous owner replaced these parts already, as he was apparently a certified mechanic and took good care of the truck (I got the truck at 115k i think) but I dont know for sure. Figured I might as well replace them, as its not too expensive. I got...

Oh ok.. Havent seenthose. I am not too mechanic friendly and haven't really examined the radiator much. I'll try and take a look at those when I get a chance. Thanks!

It's not the plastic tank. I can see fluid dripping from the radiator itself.. I think about halfway up on the side is where its visible. Of course it may noe be the side but thats where it's coming out at.

Found out today my radiator in my 2000 ranger has a leak.I figure I can replace it on my own, but I dont know what route I sohuld go. Get a new one? if so, from a junk yard? or an aftermarket one?Should I get it repaired? The leak is apparently very small, as it hasn't overheated yet, and...

I have a 2000 ranger Flareside V6 3.0L 2WD.I am wondering what little things here and there I can do/buy to tweak it's performance a little. I don't want to "customize" it (yet!) Just wanting ideas of simple things to replace, etc. I got some new spark plugs I'm going to put in.. FIgure...
