Are 3.2 Ford Ranger engines reliable?

The PX Ford Ranger is among the most popular utes in the world because of its reliable engine. The robust straight five-cylinder diesel engine features a cast-iron block and aluminium cylinder heads. It uses one turbocharger across five cylinders to make 147 kW at 3000 rpm and 470 Nm at 1750 to 2500 rpm. These numbers have stood the test of time pretty well, and the Ford Ranger 3.2 engine can easily endure hundreds of thousands of miles or a couple of decades with proper maintenance. 

How to maintain a 3.2 Ford Ranger engine?

 If you want your truck to last a long time, make sure you take good care of the engine and its components. The Ford Ranger 3.2 engine has a couple of parts that you should always pay attention to:

• Intake Pipe: Their intake pipes are known to crack with little to no warning; hence, it is best to inspect the pipe regularly. 

In order to check the intake pipe for cracks and tears, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to build up pressure. You should then run your hand along the pipe to feel for air blowing out. You can then shut down the engine and listen for sucking noises from the pipe, possibly indicating a leak. 

If you suspect a leak, have it replaced with a more robust silicone or metal pipe immediately. You can also temporarily fix the crack by sealing it up with heat-resistant tape.

• Oil Pump: The variable pressure oil pump used in the Ford Ranger 3.2 engine is not self-priming. That means, if the pump is left drained for over ten minutes, it can dry out and possibly have you running your engine without oil pressure.  

Always keep that in mind every time you carry out oil changes between service intervals. It’s also a good idea to run the Ford Ranger 3.2 engine hot and shut it off before draining the oil immediately. This extra step ensures that all contaminants are evenly mixed with the old oil. 

In addition to checking the intake pipe and oil pump regularly, the following tips can help prolong the service life of your PX Ford Ranger:

• Wash your truck regularly to keep out foreign materials that can cause rust.
• Park indoors, especially during the winter, to prevent rust.
• Inspect and refill the engine and transmission fluids regularly.
• Rotate your tyres monthly and keep them inflated.
• Avoid stomping on the brake pedal to prevent the pads from overheating.
• Have a defective component repaired or replaced immediately.
