New to ranger fourums, I have been a visitor for a year.
Got this 1988 (2.9L) from a relative last year who purchased new in 88'. I did a short test drive back then, it was not registerd, I am working on restoring it, it is in good shape no-rust western truck, it has ~250k miles on it. xfer case was rebuilt (what ever that means) about 10 years ago.
I drained the the xfer case and it had gear lube or motor oil in it, not ATF. (in the process of pulling the engine & refreshing the drive train) I have no idea how long it had gear lube. Xfer case was shifting properly and made no noise on short test drive.
Any ideas on impact to the internals?
Should I rebuild it or replace?
By the way compression test results warm: 1 & 2= 155; 3,4,5 =160 ; 6=165
(I don't want to do a V8 conversion, to many other changes invovled)
