Need help with my swap. I'm converting my Ranger over with an Explorer 5.0 and an F150 m5od-r2. I ran a quick part number reference between the F150 and Ranger. The slave cylinders are the same, so that's what I installed. But the master cylinders are different in diameter and mounting style...

Working on a 5.0 swap on my '94. I'm using a '97 explorer engine (p heads) and a '96 wiring harness. I have a SCT tuner. My plan is to remove the Auto trans functions, remove EGR, and remove the 2 rear O2 sensors. Question: What do I do with the '94's 4.0 EVAP system? Reassuring question: I am...

I did the research, and took the pics. All info is on page 2 of my build thread. They look like they'll work on the engine, but I won't know till next year (when I put the engine in the chassis). What do you guys think? Based on every pic I can find of a 5.0 in a Ranger they should work...

I noticed mine were tight too. So I put trans fluid on the back sides of both of the new chrome covers. I rotated the knobs and let the fluid work its way in, they turn almost as easy as my TTB jeep hubs did.

ABS code 12, need wiring help I have an ABS code on the Ranger, its code 12. From searching i found its probably from the master cylinder float switch. The harness was dryrotted and the wires fell out. I would like to just put the 3 pins back the 3 switch connections, but i need to know the...

Hey guys, Ive been doing a bunch of reading on the lock right lockers and would like to put one in the front axle to replace the original open diff. I've read that there was a carrier hub size change between '92 and '93. On my axle tag it says my axle was built November 3, 1993. So which Lock...

I just bought myself a red 1994 ranger 4x4, 4.0 manual. Right now im going through it seening what needs to be replaced. This forum is awesome! The tech library is unreal! A little history of myself is that my first truck was a 2001 dodge ram 2500 automatic with the 5.9L and dana 60's front and...
