When did B2s get a Dana 35?

Surrey · Jan 24, 2011

The general literature on this site, such as in the tech library says the D35 was put into 1990 model years... But I seem to remember reading somewhere they started installing them in a certain month on the 1989s?

I was going to go look at a 89 B2 today, and although I dont expect it to have a D35, I sure am hoping...

late month's 89.

i think they are D35 hybrids.....seems like i've read that on here.

even if it has a D28, you can usually find a D35 on here for around $100

Build date 11-'89 and later (this is like the last 2/3rds of the 1990 models).

So the early 1990 models had d28 then, and no 89s had a d35?

My '90 Ranger has a build date of either sep or nov (cant remember) '89 and it came with a D28.

I dont think rangers came with D35 until they got a 4.0l?
My understanding was all Rangers were D28 or d28 hybrids on 2.9l and 4-cylinder engines?

the previous owner swapped in a late 89 in mine, thinking iit was a d35, but i checked the numbers and its a d28 :icon_confused:

sad thing was he knew about trs, guess he didnt check

No The Hybred didn't exsist until it was introduced on Non-4.0 1993 Rangers.

Correct

The Rangers switched over at exactly the same time the first week of December 1989 in the 1990 model run
