Hey everyone,
Who has a TON of patience?
I have 2 Rangers right now, one with a 4.0 L V6 that I want to remove and replace with a 3.0 L V6 from my parts truck. What I would like to know is first off do I need to swap computers from truck to truck or can it simply be re programmed to the other engine to save hassle? More or less is each computer specific to each engine (displacement wise). Next the parts truck that I'm taking the 3 L from has the working keyless entry system, do I need the doors and such from that truck in order for it to work on the other? Do I need the ignition from the other truck or is it something that can be reprogrammed? Along with the ignition & the keyless entry there is a little red theft light in the trucks dash as a part of an alarm system, if I do need to use that ignition and install it to the other truck is it going to go crazy trying to find its original chip or will it still call a spade a spade and work with that trucks alarm system?
Just honestly are there any dire warnings? Am I trying to do the impossible here or can this be a plug and play deal with a few small head aches?
