Hello all,
I picked up a 1991 super cab electric shift 4wd automatic 4.0 ranger xlt, and it's the first truck I've ever owned. I'm having lots of fun, but also a few problems
First off, my wiring for 4wd is damaged, and I am in the process of swapping in a manual transfer case so I can be sure my 4wd always works when I want it to. However, while I was at the junkyard, I found a good condition manual transmission (I believe m50d r1) for a 2wd, but the truck that I took my new t case from had the 4x4 back part on the trans that I would need. Would I be able to put this 5 speed from a 94 ranger 2wd 2.9 into my 4.0 if I used the back section off of another 5 speed (one with 4wd components)?
Additionally, what wiring work would I need to do? Will I need a wiring harness and ECU from a manual 4wd 4.0?
Thanks for your time
