Watch out for any Ranger that has dual exhaust. They might have a 5.0L
conversion under the hood. Usually they're the beat-up, older models with
primer color paint jobs.
Had a few encounters with a few when I used to drive a 5.0L on a daily
basis. I guess they had something to prove.

Interesting, last week I raced a V-6 Ranger and almost lost!
I was behind
him getting on the freeway, I nailed it and started to pull
past him
quickly. Then I hit 98 mph and I'll be damned if I could get
it to go faster
than that! The rpm's were only at 3500 in fourth. I suspect
that the
computer had some kind of "soft" speed limiter slowing me
down. My truck
feels very strong at low speeds but lays down in the top
end, I suspect that
the HP SBEC will solve this. Has anyone else noticed this
problem?
