I'd like to swap a 96 Explorer 5.0L engine into my 2000 2.5L 5 speed Ranger. I want to stick with a 5 speed transmission - probably a Tremec. If I go to the trouble to keep the 5.0L fuel injected, I'd like for all of the Ranger's insturments to work correctly including the check engine light. Since I'll be going from an automatic transmission in the Explorer to a manual transmission in the Ranger, reprogramming of the Explorer PCM will be necessary to make the Ranger instrumentation work correctly. The Explorer PCM will also have to receive and process input from the clutch pedal position sensor. Does anyone know if this type of PCM reprogramming is possible and, if it is, who can do it? Thanks for your help.
