The M5OD-R1HD has the same gear ratios as a regular 4.0L tranny. Any internal differences are unknown to me. The tranny should bolt right up to the 2.9 as the 2.9. 4.0ohv and 4.0sohc all share bellhousing patterns.

- A properly suspensioned Ranger can be safely airborne for up to 4 seconds at a time! =:O
Just curious... how many miles on the '06 m50d-r1hd, and how many $$ for it? Good info to know, thanks in advance,

I believe the -HD variant for 4.0L engines is geared "taller" in 1st (and maybe 2nd?), so your 2.9L might be a little "bogged down" off the line. Search this forum and the tech library.
Of course a supercharger would cure that, lol.
