Running bilsteins in the rear and KYB gas-a-just in the front. Compared to the stock shocks in my 06 ranger 3.0L, feels so much better (also replaced front end).
Pulled the trans, fixed the oil pan and valve cover gaskets, rod & main bearings, oil pump, new tires, battery, all exterior light housings, fuel fill hose, dash lights, gear position indicator, several sensors, new wipers, window cranks, windshield, tinted the windows, new headliner, new carpet, and the list just goes on and on.
I bought the Delphi one no issues.
Dapat pala palitan mo agad yung gulong kasi tinipid sya, pangit yung model na ginamit. Pati battery susuko agad lalo kung mahilig ka sa short trips. Pero everything else is great, lalo yung driving feel at transmission.
On my 25’ Ranger Raptor I’ve done oil change at 500, 2500 and 5000 miles. Will continue every 5k. I run Amsoil signature series 5w30, with MC filter. Ford recommends 10k.
My delphi has been running good for about 20k miles with ngk wires and plugs.
The shocks and fuel filters are often neglected in maintenance, but do make a difference if they have a lot of miles on them.
I had a clutch kit (LUK) put in my 1998 Ranger 2WD back in March 2025. Approximately 10,000 miles ago. Had issues with it recently and took it back to shop. Shop called today and said clutch kit is warrantied but not labor.
Blown out ranchos
I'm not sure if the 2008 v6s still had plastic tensioners, but I know my 2004 4.0 did. I had to have it replaced at one point. Unfortunately with the 4.0 engine, removing timing covers with the engine still in the truck is kind of difficult and a shop might want to pull it to do this kind of work. I believe that's what they did on mine. Using motorcraft oil filters could help, but it didn't make mine go away, so I eventually had it replaced.
