Ok so long story short my daily is a 2000 Ford Ranger, blue, 3.0L V6 auto, 4x4 extended cab etc…
I was thinking of selling it for a newer 04+ F150 but with only 110k miles and it really in nice shape and it running like a champ I've decided I should just keep the truck awhile longer. However I want some more power from the little motor. Any ideas? TB, headers, intake? Not too familiar with modding a ranger so any input would be cool.

I would say maybe a tailpipe turbo for a little boost. I put headers on my old 97 4.0 ranger and didn't notice much of a difference. I think you'll be disappointed with any minor mods like that. I sold my 97 ranger and got an 04 F150. Always missed the ranger though. Still do even with my 13 F150. Like you I always wanted one with more power. One of these days I'll have one with a V8 and 4wd. I've tried to contact this guy like 10 times but no luck...

Wow a ranger with a coyote 5.0! damn that must be fun!

Ive even considered swapping a V8 in, but a bigger project than i'd like to do most likely.
