Ok I've been doing some research and want to make sure that if I do this I won't miss anything. I have a 98 Ranger, 3.0 manual tranny.
Parts list so far:
-Borg Warner 1354 Manual Transfer case out of a 97 or older Ranger/Explorer. Or '03/'04 if I get lucky... Ya right.
-1" shorter front drive shaft
-Shifter
Questions:
1. Did B2's have manual T-Cases and would they work for this?
2. Would I get the drive shaft from the truck I take the T-Case out of?
3. Would I have to change the rear drive shaft?
4. Would the BW 1350 work?
5. Since the lights would be constantly flashing on my dash, would that set off reactions so that other stuff won't work? I know that there is one wire coming from the manual t-case for the lights on the dash but wiring isn't really my friend so I would just leave it.
6. A member did this on his '97 and had to change the output flange because the T-Case he used was from an automatic but his truck was a manual. Would I need to do this also if I get one from an automatic?
7. For those of you that have done this, on a scale from 1-10 how hard is it? This would be my first real modification and want to do it right.
8. Am I missing anything?
Any input is welcome! Thanks in advance!
