I haven’t been around for a while and that is a good thing, however I have a problem. Truck is a 1996 Ranger, straight cab, 7’ bed. it has the ECM, 5.0, tranny, and 8.8 Limited Slip rear (2 wheel only) diff from a 1999 Mountaineer. I have 50K on the build. I always let the truck run a few...

I took a 1996 Ranger auto trans 2 wheel drive and swapped in a 5.0 and trans from an Explorer, I now have the bad engine and reportedly good trans from the swap. The 16 year-old across the road has ‘91 4 wheel drive with bad a/t trans. Is there any way to use the one to repair l/replace the...

After 5.0 swap, I have driven approximately 15K miles and now have a very serious but intermittent miss. 1996 Ranger, '99 Explorer 5.0 Codes are P0443 and P0453, all searches say it should cause drivability issues. Any thoughts?

I was hoping I had all questions related to this swap behind me, alas, not to be. 1996 Ranger, straight cab longbed. 5.0, tranny and rear from wrecked '99 Mountaineer. I worked out the bugs and it is needing an oil change, (the 3rd) with 10K from combo hiway and "town" driving. MPG, 14.5-19.2...

I had hoped to make a good progress report but things have been busy and the truck was running great. I was having tranny shifting issues by trying to use an over the counter '96 PCM. I was able to find a vendor in Florida that removed PATS from the original '99 PCM/ECM, I will post that info...

Wiring in my Dakota Digital 1996 Ranger 1996 Ranger, 1999 5.0 Explorer, engine, tranny and rear diff. I am getting to the completion stage, Electric fans working, rad hoses look good, Electric fuel has been working. Dual exhaust in and was that a $$$$ surprise? Bed is back on, trailer hitch...

I know some of the members on here are members on other sites too. I am reposting here from another site. Not sure I can make this short. I swapped a '99 5.0 from an Explorer into a '96 Ranger. Ranger V-6 runs at aprox. 36 psi fuel pressure. '99 Explorer operates at 58-60 psi. I am using the...

I guess it might be mostly me, because if I get in a check out line in a store, it will, without a doubt become the longest line in the store including Wally World. So, I did not expect the swap to go perfect. I bought the ‘96 2 wheel drive Ranger, no radiator and partially disassembled engine...

In the middle of the swap of the 1999 5.0 into a 1996 Ranger. I have converted the fuel system over to the higher pressure Explorer system and simply want to program out the PATS system. Either that, or does anyone know for sure if a over the counter '96 Explorer will fire the injectors...

This project took longer than even I figured. 1996 Ranger, straight cab, long bed. Donor, 1999 Mountaineer. Both A/T 2 wheel drive. I made plates, Used factory 3.0 mounts. The 8.8 rear is installed Complete with 1996 4x4 shocks. All sway bar and traction aids bolted up. I lifted the engine 1”...

Does anyone know whether or not I could use 2012 5.0 Mustang exhaust manifolds (look like headers) on the ‘99:Explorer to ‘96 Ranger conversion I am doing? The exhaust flanges are up high near the end of the head.

I am installing a ‘99 5.0 from an Explorer in to a ‘96 Ranger. I purchased the remote oil filter kit from James Duff parts and the filter will be a FL1-A but the filter is 3/4”-16 threads and so is the female thread on the block side adapter. The threads are 3/4”-16 female but the block seems to...

I have a ‘96 Straight cab A/T with bum V-6 and purchased a ‘99 Mountaineer 5.0 that was wrecked. Both 2X4 A/T. From what I am finding, I may have bit off a tougher chew with the ‘99 conversion? Looks like not only do I swap the engine and trans along with computer, wiring harness etc. but also...
