It is a V6 2.9 rebuilt at Fallon Auto Mall (a ford shop) in Fallon, NV: since, with less than 500 miles, tune up with oil change, air %26amp; fuel filter change. When I put the accellerator to the floor it will %26quot;creep%26quot; to a higher speed and after about 2 miles tops at 80MPH with a strong tail wind. The exhaust system is also rather new (aprox. 1000 miles).
Even with a rebuilt engine my '88 Ranger 4 X 4 looses 20 MPH on a slight incline and drops dramatically as the hills steepen. Any ideas how I can increase the power?Gutless Ford Ranger part 2?
If the engine head was not remanufactured then the valve guides might be leaking sporadically. Do a compression test on each cylinder at different engine rpms. If the compression occasionally drops in a cylinder then air is leaking around the valves and through the valve guides.Gutless Ford Ranger part 2?

Is it an automatic? If so, could be the torque converter.
Oversized tires and hiway gears? The taller tires would change the final gear ratio and it would move like a sled.
Plugged cat conv?
Incorrct timing?
