Sad to hear. Im turning a lot of miles in my sport trac, so ive been thinking the last few days of building a 4bt 4wd ranger, mostly an on road truck for parts getting and vehicle towing. Want to run the 98+ frame for comfortable highway driving. Thinking of converting to 4 corner airbag suspension. Did I mention I do a lot of driving? Want to build cm truck style flat bed, so I can haul more parts without the need of a trailer. I'd like to run an auto, not sure if the 4R70W would hold the power of the 4bt, might go with an E4OD. Sucks I sold my E4OD last year...
