99 ranger 2.5 v8 swap

[Junglejoe]

dude.....really.

look at the other spots that are plugged.



what i meant, was to flip the connector over and look at it from the pin/box side.

38 is ommited....
if you open that hole...you will then have a space for pin 38.


the connector itself is broken, or the numbers would be present.

28-33 are on the row next to it.

28,29,32,33 are also ommitted....and 27 in the row above that.....clearly.

CLEARLY.


of course....you could just be fawking with us. must be.

otherwise...
how the fawk you managed to pull off the last swap is now a mystery as well.
you are the case of the broken clock....

Look man... the fugging pin 38 , is that wire Im asking about. You dont know what you're talking about since you don't know, why even reply? How did you get all the decorations around your name? Did you buy them to make you look important and feel like you're sombody?

you did a lego swap. congratulations. you did the easiest swap possible that takes the least amount of ability in regards to wiring and fitup. something that takes me hours....not days to do.

if you were swapping this into a gen 1 you would find that is not so easy.

there was no internet with bulletin boards when i started doing this.


again..

look at an unbroken 42 pin connector.

pin 38 is ommited.

you have a map of the wire codes and circuits that is clear posted in this thread.

there is zero doubt about that.


as to my sorry ass...
from 1989 to 2005 i did 3 to 10 swaps per year. mostly rangers.

big blocks...small blocks...diesels....ford, gm and chrysler swaps into the rbv platform.

since 2005 i slowed down...but have built many harnesses for others to swap engines.

..... because outside of the gen 3 trucks...they dont plug and play with factory componants..

of course....some people are just lucky.

and then think they are right.

Ok. So if you've done so many swap and are the " expert" around here , you'd know that pin 38 is EXACTLY where my finger is in that wire. My other plug and play ranger "almost" was plug and play. Thats exactly why I chose that truck. I got this 83k mile loaded 4cly truck at a great deal . That the only reason I got another ranger. Or Id.be putting a Whipple or twins on my f150 and probably will do that after this is done.
The ONLY DIFFERENCE that I seen in that plug and a 3.0.plug is ONE wire.
I dont do this for a living, IIm a flooring installer. 38 years in it.

WELL, I stand here today and can confirm..
" you was right and I was dead ass wrong! My apologies man. I found that piece that was broken put it on there, you are 100% correct!
Sometimes I think I know to much and afraid to admit Im wrong. As a man, I will admit it. "I was wrong"️

Bobby’s knowledge, skills and wisdom are revered around here for a reason, a very good reason.

I understand. I would have bet on that wire being 38. At the same time I can admit when Im wrong. Takes alot to admit when Im wrong, but I have no shame in admitting it.

100 internet points!

I dont need internet points..Im a simple man. Just need a little guidance doing what others like to do. Now that is all out of the way, Unless Im wrong again, comparing wire for wires.. its all the same. I can plug the explorer 42 pin connector up and it work just like the 3.0 connector would work...right?
