She's been on the road for the past 3 days now, problem free, got the exhaust done, alignment done, E-fan, etc, etc, etc...

Good stuff! I am planning to do the same with my '00 2.5. Was your ranger originally a manual?

I didn't read anything about you switching out your'e fuel pump for fuel pressure. Was there any mods that you had to do with the whole gas situation?

Ended up running a 2000 Explorer ECU *returnless*

I used a tuner to remove the PATS from it, but now have issues with the CPS sensor not working due to it being a 2 wire, not a 3 wire or something... I'll get it worked out.

Dan, you talking about the cam sensor or the crank sensor?

If you really wanna have some fun, buy a set of electric exhaust dumps. The button to activate them is sooooooooooooooo hard NOT to use!!

It was the Cam sensor, I am still not 100% sure if it is lined up right, but don't want to shell out the $50 for the mechanical adjustment tool, nor is there a way to line up the 00+ Sensor with a volt meter as it behaves differently than the 96-99 3 wire sensors. Any suggestions?

*Sry I haven't been more active on these boards, I will now since I kinda own 2!!!*

This write up has been one of the most helpful items I've read. The 3.slow aint cuttin' it.

 

[hoosier1104]

I agree the 3.slow was not cutting it. I dropped in a 5.0 in my 05 and now I have plans to build a 1st Gen on 'roids.
