Been lurking for coupe weeks..trying gather enough info to swap 3.0 for 4.0...old guy 60 years old..master mechanic on heavy and medium duty trucks..semis...been building hot rods n 4x4's for years...so the doing isn't a problem...just need you guys brain power...lots of good info here..
So far i have gathered that the 4.0 from 03 up is the improved tensioner ...and that i need ecm from donor and trans..my 3.0 has bad trans anyway...i was looking today at pick n pull..and noticed some explorers lacked the ecm plug location that matched mine 99...and do i need the gas tank due to the different fuel pressures....
Sure there's allot of other questions I'll have to ask as the swap is preformed...just trying to get my info straight so i can find the proper motor and related parts o get the job done
I really like the hp and torque numbers listed for these 03 up revamped 4.0 's
Thanks and great to find this forum...mark
