I have had a 95 3.0 for the past 4 years. No major problems. Changed the clutch. Put shocks on it. Changed the CV boots. Changed the starter contacts. A new battery. Spark plugs etc. Has about 105K miles on it now. It had a timing belt shortly before I got it. The only issue now is that is is beginning to rust and I will need to do or have some body work done in the spring. I like the truck alot. The 3.0 is a bit slow off the line but once you are moving it is fine. Mileage is not bad all things considered. I have the 31X10.5 tires. Have not really considered a lift and bigger tires as they do fine. Also have the sagging rear springs and plan to fix that sometime.
