2000 4wd xlt. 4.0 97,000, stock except for exhaust and airfilter (k&n of course)

 

...I actually tried the decarbon bit, with cleaning MAF, changing oil, oil filter, coolant, and high dollar Motorcraft plugs...and I still get same knocking...Checked vacuum system....I'm clueless at this point

 

JGCorley-
Try changing out your DPFE sensor. You may get a code for the EGR sensor on a CEL, but I had the same problem 6 months ago. I got the DPFE sensor from NAPA for $60 and it fixed the problem right up. Also, you might go ahead and change out the EGR valve at the same time. Both are a breeze to switch out...takes about 10 minutes. Good luck

 

360,000 on my 97 ranger 4 cyl no major problems just standard maintance except oil chang eon every 6000or so miles lol noburning oil no major problems

 

I had a 1991 2.3L w/ 99,993 when I sold it about two years ago, it was my first stick shift so we had to replace the clucth once. Other than reg maintance (ie: spark plugs and oil changes) nothing. It was like the mailman, Very reliable would start everyday snow, rain, sleat, or hail

Only complaint was it had no A/C, but at highway speeds with window down and rear sliding window open it was not bad.

 

Have had a 86 with 2.3 5 speed then a 92 S/C with 4.0 5speed
Now driving a 95 S/C with a 2.3 5 speed and 167,000 KM

 

Almost 117,000 on my 2000 Ranger it's a 3.0 Auto

 

124,500
97 X-cab 4 Cyl 5 Speed

10,300 on my 2004 FX4 Level II I bought in may. 4.0L SOHC with K&N drop in panel filter and 40 series Flowmaster single inlet/dual outlet with 3 1/2'' polished stainless Magnaflow slash cut rolled edge tips. Nothing other than 2 oil changes and tire rotations.

 

2002 3.0L Edge Auto has 29K on it, running strong and still no problems, knock on wood.

Just turned 200,000 on my 1991 Ranger 4.0L with the original engine. I replaced the Auto. trans. twice though.I started using Amsoil at about 140,000 miles in my engine. I think it has made a difference.

 

I have 70,000 on my 97 4x4 and still runs like a deer.

 

1994 B3000. This is my first post. I'm very PROUD to say that today my truck just flipped to 207,000! I had most of the basic maintence,Brakes mostly.
Rebuilt the Rear Axle, too heavy of a load once. Couple of times had to replace the ABS valves. Orginal Clutch, knock on wood!
Religous oil changes at 3k, All different brands of oil.
Cheers,
Doug

 

My 1987 2.9 4x4 has just turned 205,000. Nothing major just gas and oil and some tender care. I hope to see 200k more.
