WOT Mod
I have a 3.0 and recently cleaned the throttle body. I noticed the the valve only opens half way. And it does feel like my pedal needs to go to the floor more. I have heard of altering this to acheive a wot but don't know how? Anyone try this?

No, my butterfly valve did not open 90 degrees. It actually opened about 70 degrees. I read about the throttle cable mod AKA zip tie mod. You can put a zip tie on the throttle cable on your gas pedal to allow your valve to open further. There is a stop on the throttle body itself that allows the valve to not open more than 90 degrees. I did the mod and I was overwhelmed at the results. Feels like more top end HP. But, I know that is not it. The ole Danger Ranger 3.slow just can breath a little more now. I have read that some Rangers already come with the valve opening 90 degrees flat and some that just can't squeeze into the WOT margin. I guess my truck was one of these. I just wish I knew about this earlier.

Is there a post here somewhere that shows exactly what the 'throttle cable mod' is? I've noticed in my 98 4.0L there is a little slack when my foot first touches the pedal, and I'd like to fix it! Thanks!
