Since your ranger uses a slot in sensor, the K&N is the only one on the market right now that will work for your truck.
I have spoken to Volant, and they have part numbers released for 3.0 and 4.0 kits, but last time I talked to them, they were working out some kinks. Apparently they are flowing too much to work with the stock tuning.
Here is a link to the K&N on our site:

I will continue to stay in touch with Volant about their new kits, im pretty excited about them! K&N is pretty good, but I have always preferred Volant

I thought the 3.0 still used the old style maf and didn't have the maf intergrated into the airbox like the 4.0. In my opinion AEM is the best, not only because of excellent quality, but because you don't have to oil the filter, oil on a ford maf can spell trouble. I have a k&n intake with an AEM filter, only because AEM doesn't make an intake for my 04 4.0 yet. However I do have an AEM cai on my 06 focus st and it was good for 6 hp to the wheels with no tunning, I was impressed. The stock ranger airbox flows better than the focus, but I'm still a believer in intakes on rangers, others aren't.

I forgot to mention, if you want an upgrade that will work on your 06 3.0 and will make a difference you can feel, get the bama programer. It's good for 10 hp and around 15 foot pounds on a stock engine. It really works and works well. Those of us here that use them love the product, it really makes a diffrence, it will firm up shifts on an automatic, allow for larger tires and gear swaps by correcting the speedo, it's just an awesome product. Also an udp will help your 3.0. You can view these products and more at www.jusnesmodified.com, Bob Jusnes is a member here with great prices.

We have thrashed this subject before, but I had a big air tube with a K&N on my last 3.0 and noticed absolutely no difference from stock. Spend your money on the Bama programmer and you will be a lot happier.

Waves has a k&n intake on his 3.0 and he says he can feel a difference, I have an intake on a 4.0 and there sure is a difference, maybe not turbo charger difference, but there is an improvement. Combine an intake, headers, exhaust, udp, e-fan and bama and it should run half bad for a 3slow. Another member did all those bolton to a 3.0, he said it romps, it did a larger tb, a tb spacer and a larger maf as well, those 3 he could of done without, he should of bought nice rims with that money. Foe sure like dono says, bama is money well spent, some of the other stuff is debatable.

reading, which causes a lean condition.
Keep in mind, unless you go to forced induction, the stock intake and OEM paper filter (especially on a 3.0L displacement motor) will flow all the air the engine can pull!!

Sure paper filters work well if you like breathing through a paperbag, put one up to your mouth and try it, it works great if your dead ha ha. Paper filters are so restrictive, that in the 70 we use to run without a filter for a little extra humf. Or another trick was to turn the top of the air cleaner up side down to create a gap, it would give you that whhoosh sound like intakes do today. Carb spacer were also effective back then. Methods haven't changed much over the years, just the tech. As long as there's an engine, there will be someone trying to hop it up, it's an unwritten law of nature ha ha.

I think I'll start using a bandanna on my airbox, it keeps dust out of my mouth at work. Or panty hoese streched over a cheese grater and invent my own filter, I'm sure it couldn't filter any worse than k&n. I just read a test on filters in the nov issue of jp mag, they tested them for flow, dust capacity and cumulative efficiency, they ranked them as follows, AEM, airaid, amsoil, k&n, and s&b. The only filter worse than k&n, was s&b and I never heard of them. The test results are only vaid if the same physical size filter is tested, they used a 9' tall and 6' dia conical tapered filter, there were some others like fram that couldn't be tested because they didn't have that size filter. Next month 4-wheel offroad is going to have an intake shootout, that should be interesting as well.

Perhaps it time for some truth in advertising control by the administrators. I have noticed that some who claim amazing results for hi performance items also never fail to include a recommendation on where to purchase those items.
Now I don’t disagree with advertising, If it wasn’t for it we would not have this forum. But when someone comes here with a question about a mod for their truck shouldn’t it be answered with an opinion and not a advertisement ?
Just a thought.
