Is there a fix for an underpowered 96 Ford Ranger pickup with 30L and automatic transmission It was underpowered when new and is still gutless after reaching the 100000 mark Scheduled service was done?

Answer

This vehicle had 147 HP @ 5,000 rpm; 162 ft lb @ 3,250 rpm when new. It has less now. It was not a very powerful V6 so no, there is not much you can do without spending some serious money. The 2006 Ranger's 3.0-liter OHV V-6 engine produces 148 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 180 pound-feet of torque at 3,950 rpm, so it is a more powerful engine but not much. Ranger also is available with a 4.0-liter SOHC V-6 that produces 207 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 238 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 rpm. So if you want more power, pick the 4.0 next time around.
