Aircooled bugs aren't happy in 110 degree heat pulling 5 mile long +3% hills. The palmdale to home pull crispied typically #1 cylinder sometimes #3. God help me if the wife had to hit second gear on the way home on the 6% hill out of Bakersfield. I did my own remans using only German parts because the wife was very fussy. Cold it was two kicks of the gas pedal and a key flick and it had better be running. One day the fanbelt had the audacity to break, so she immediately demanded and got a brand new car.

I believe the firing order of the 7.3 isnt left side right side, so that makes a crappy compressor

Which engine in the ranger? If you have a 90 degree six block, then it might work, I know a 60 degree will shake like a wet dog.
