I have the same setup as frankenbroncoII, but with an auto. My '90 Ranger 4x4 has an 144,000 mile 2.9L V6, auto with 3.73:1 gears on 235/75R-15 Firestone ATs. When I floor it, the tach needle jumps to 2500-3000 and the truck moves, but it lacks hp and torque. I want to swap something in with an honest 250-275 hp at the crank, but I'd probably have to swap in a stronger drivetrain too.
