the ranger is an 92 it has same tranny. a4ld. and it has a 2.9. im keeping the ranger to use as a daily driver. after i swap the axles. and im not lifting it im just goin to run some 235/75/15 trail diggers just incase. only thing is that the vin# is gone from the dash but i got the # from the door and need to get a title. my friends grandpa gave me the truck for 50 bucks and i drove it home after i took the thermostat out and put fresh gas in it. suprisingly the thing started right up.

You can use the donor's driveshaft if you also swap in it's 1354 t-case as well.

Mine both had 1350s in them can you put a 1354 drive line on a 1350?

By the way 4x4 Junkie I found your Suspension article in tech section very helpful.

No, that's why you have to swap the t-case to fit the driveshaft (the front output on the cases are different). If you had a truck with a D35 and a 1350, something's been swapped at some point on it.

Glad the article helped :icon_thumby:

The 13-50 was NEVER factory installed in a D35 RBV.

There is NO factory driveshaft to connect them.
