- My credo
- They say it can't be done, so I did it. Again
My 97 4.0 2WD Ranger munched the five speed manual so I bought a five speed from a 2002 Ranger and hoping the heavier trans would last longer.
Had issues getting the clutch master bled. Finally got it done with a large syringe and surgical tubing. Now the truck stumbles BAD and I cannot get past 20 mph on level ground. It runs just fine until it gets to around 20 mph then just cuts power off and on again. The speedometer is not working and I found one upstream O2 sensor unplugged with nothing to plug it into.
It has about 360,000 km (225,000 miles) but looks, runs (ran), and drives like it is nearly new. I bought it a year ago and can only surmise that it was either insanely maintained or has a dash panel from a higher mileage truck (not likely).
Checked all the usual things and other than some soft plug wires on one side, everything seems good.
