I just bought a '91 Ranger with a 4.0L and a AOD. I am using this truck as my daily driver for work/commuting. Some time down the line, I will swap out the 4.0L for the 5.0L that came out of a Crown Vic. I am thinking before I do that I may swap to a T-5 so that I might have some ease of mind when snarled in 1-2 hour traffic.
For any of you that have done this; do I have to switch the computer for one out of a stick Ranger; like the Mustang owners do? i.e. A9P (automatics) to A9L (manual)? What computer (if any) do I use for this swap? I know the Splash had the 4.0L and 5-speeds; did these model year Rangers come with the 4.0L/5-speed combos? Or did the 3.0L Rangers have the 5-speeds?
I apologize for all of the questions. I am just running through my options for this truck. If I don't do this swap, I will probably get stuck with the 4.0L longer than I planned. If I do this swap, I'll be installing the 5.0L/T-5 tomorrow. LOL That's the way things work out for me nowadays. Thank you.
