Hello,
This is my first post here, and as I've owned my Ranger for a couple of years, I have often considered converting its current 2WD drive status, to 4WD. I am not afraid to tackle the work, but have been uncertain as to exactly what parts are needed, short of actually buying a beaten tired 4WD truck and swapping the necessary drive train items to my truck. But I don't want to do that. I don't know how many of you are lucky enough to have one of theese salvage yards like we do here, where prices are cheap, you remove the parts from the vehicles yourself, and whether it be a Ferarri or a Yugo, or whatever, the same part from either vehicle has the same price. An 8 Cylinder Ford Engine would be the same price as an 8 Cylinder Jaguar, etc... Anyway, today I found a 1988 Ranger with all the 4WD stuff still intact underneath. My truck is a 1993 4.0 2WD. This truck has a 2.9l. Will the components from the 2.9l work with my 4.0, taking all into consideration, and what all do I need to remove from this donor truck to do a proper conversion? Thanks for any help.
