guy around here has a 2000 ranger with a bad engine needs to replace it. Its a V6, hes pretty sure its a 3.0. backed with an auto trans didnt get if it was 4x4 or not though.

What years are plug and play that he could pull an engine from?

I suspect only 1998-2003 engines will be 'plug and play' in regards to sensors and wiring.

Just as a heads up for something to research, I know that the Explorer V-8's changed from a 3 wire CPS in 1996-1998 to a 2 wire in 1999-2001... Dunno if the 3.0's made this change as well, but may be worth a look. Otherwise as of 98-03 I can't think of anything that changed... 04 there are a few wiring changes I'm about 95% sure.
