Cold Air Intake MAF Adapter & Filter for Ford Ranger (1992-2003) 2.3L 2.5L 3.0L Engines

Maximize Induction Flow for your Ford Ranger Lima and Vulcan V6 Engines

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1992-2003 Ford Ranger owners running the Lima I4 (2.3L/2.5L) and the Vulcan V6 (3.0L) engine families.

The Problem: The factory intake tract on these Rangers was engineered for silence, not speed. The stock plastic air box is a major bottleneck for the Vulcan V6 and Lima I4, creating unnecessary turbulence and heat soak. If you’ve ever felt like your truck is gasping for air during a freeway merge or while hauling a load, you’re feeling the limitations of the restrictive OEM paper filter and enclosed housing.

The Solution: This MAF (Mass Air Flow) adapter kit allows you to delete the restrictive factory box and run a high-flow dry cone filter. By smoothing out the air path directly into the MAF sensor, we’ve optimized the air-fuel signal for the Lima and Vulcan engines, delivering crisper throttle response and a much-needed increase in mid-range torque.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Air Volume: By removing the baffled factory housing, you allow the engine to pull in a higher volume of air with less pumping loss, resulting in improved acceleration.
• MAF-Safe Dry Media: The included washable dry cone filter provides superior filtration without the risk of oil-fouling your sensitive MAF sensor—a common issue with oiled performance filters.
• Aggressive Induction Note: Gives your Ranger a throaty, purposeful sound under load without the "drone" associated with cheap exhaust modifications.
