What years of 4.0 Ford explorers can I pull a radiator off of for a 2.9l ranger? Thanks
 
If I recall correctly
 
Ok. Anybody able to confirm? A 2000 4.0 radiator wouldn't work?
 
Also can anybody tell me what these lines are for? This is a radiator off of a 92 4.0 Ford explorer. My 86 ranger 2.9 does not have any of these hookups how can I go about using this radiator still are there plugs that I can use?

Those are the ports for the automatic transmission fluid cooler. With your truck being a manual, you don't need to worry about those.
 
Okay so if I don't have to worry about them then that means I need to plug them correct? What would I plug those with
 
a bolt with the same threads would work fine.

Needing a bigger rad on a 2.9 is typically a sign you have other stuff going wrong.

Last time you flushed AND back flushed the block?

Dirt that the factory left in the block = blown heads.
