Looking into a C5 to replace my A4LD in my Ranger once I get my 289 ready to go.
My C5:
The C5 I am looking at is supposed to have very few miles since being rebuilt.
My C4:
The guy that gave me the 2wd C4 that I have stashed away in the shed said that it is supposed to work, according to the guy he got it from. It has also been sitting for 15 years so I don't have much faith in it. It has been considered a potential bellhousing donar or rebuild core from day one.
The popular thing to do is switch the extention housing from a 4x4 C5 to the C4, but can you put the V-8 bellhousing from a C4 on a C5? I have read the front pumps are different, but I would want to use the C5 one anyway.
Also, I am liking the sound of a B&M Starshifter, but aside from it not mentioning fitting a C5 how do they work in a truck heightwise?
