i have an 88 ranger super cab with a 5 speed and 35 inch tires. im running 4.10 gears in it now, because i cant find 5.13s for the 8.8. i already have the 5.13s for the front,but that is another story. lol the 2.9 runs perfect but it bogs a very little bit on take off and it does not have enough power to use 5th gear. this is a daily driver. my question is would the 4.0 have enough power to use 5th gear. right now im turning about 1900 rpm in 4th gear at 55 mph. i know a bigger motor will lower the rpm even more. but im thinking it should have enough power and torque to make up for it.
my other vehicle is a 1995 ford explorer. this was my daily driver for the last 2 years. but i decided to use the ranger for this purpose now. my 95 is obd1 so the swap should be fairly simple if i decide to do this. thanks for any input
