Ok guys, sorry ive been gone for a while... Ive been posting on multiple websites so I lose track on which ones i do lol...
Thanks for all the kind words... I drove the truck with absolutely no issues. Runs great, I just need a few more things to do and ill be officially done with the swap!
Hullnass: To answer your question. The ranger plug under the brake master cylinder what you are talking about wont mate up to the explorer harness. Not a problem, just take your ranger harness and plug it back up and combine it with the explorer battery cables. The ranger battery harness(which plugs into that plug under the brake MC) will plug into everything(starter, alt, and AC) the explorer harness will. You will have to extend one wire though(well i had to anyway). The yellow wire that runs to your starter needs to be extended. Other than that nothing else needs modifying. Maybe that will solve your electrical problems.
And with the Advance Adapter. I WISHHHHH they made a 7 inch adapter because I have run into the same issues. I had to cut some of the tranny crossmember and lengthen the rear drive shaft and shorten the front. Not a big deal but I was kinda hoping I didnt have to do so. Looks like the Adapter clocks your Transfercase just a tad downward than when it was on the 3.0 tranny which sucks but nothing a little metal fabrication cant fix!! Ill supply pics in a few when i gather them further
Ill also have to edit some of my first post so i can Fill you guys in on some of the modifications that arent said in some of the articles out there!
