I bought a 98 Ranger 2wd 4 cylinder 5 speed last week. It will be my work truck, and save me a lot of gas compared to my K2500.
The truck has 209k, and the drivers seat is getting a little worn. The cushion has a lot of give and you can feel the metal supports in the seat. The center console is also in pretty rough shape. I've read that you can swap Explorer seats in, what years should I look for? Do I need both seats, or can I find one that matches the passenger seat?
I also want to step up to a 15" wheel and 235/75-15 AT or MT tires to add a little offroad capability to the truck. I checked the axle code and I have a 3.45 open diff right now.
What are the chances of finding a 4.10 LSD at a junkyard? 4.10s and a 29" tire will be close to the same gearing that I have right now. How hard is this axle to swap in?
