I recently purchased a very nice 2000 ranger xlt super cab, I love it!!! But... the engine mounts/ vibration dampeners are bad and the engine and transmission move A LOT. When I hit a bump on the freeway I can feel the engine and trans move side to side way more than normal. I have the...

Has anyone swapped an 89 B2 to 4WD from 2WD with the God awful A4LD and electric shift t-case? If so, how would you wire the electric shift into the transmission harness? Is it already on the wiring of a 2WD B2 or will I need to steal one from a donor truck?
