I just had my 1994 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 5 speed rebuilt by a "reputable" garage here in Las Vegas
Unfortunately , it seems as though I gave them a buttload of money, and got my original engine back with just a coat of paint on it.
Now, they may have actually rebuilt it, but I suspect, putting it back in, they hooked up something wrong, and now the crank case is under a huge amount of vacuum.
So, I am asking everyone with a 3.0 liter, to go out, start up your truck and pull the oil filler cap off. Does it stumble , and almost die when you do that.
I do not recall this truck doing that before I had it rebuild, AT ANY TIME, and I have had this truck since it had 25k on the odometer .
Although, I dont see the reason to pull the filler cap during idling, but I have done it to see if there was site of oil flowing after I changed my heads a year ago.
So, please if you will, go out, fire up your truck, let it idle and pull the oil filler cap and tell me if anything happens IE stumbles, dies etc.
Thanks you guys.
PS. the truck is back at the shop also because it uses 1 quart of oil every 500 miles with only 2000 miles on the motor...but... thats another thread for another time.
thanks
