I need to update that lol I was working out of Rogersville, and living in Kingsport. Back in Washington state now.
I didn't see anything on wiring the first time, I will recheck that, I did see your alternator and starter wiring parts, but not the main harness. I can do any repinning needed, so thanks for the info! I actually have the factory manuals for the Exploder and Ranger, so that should make it easy. I have rear ABS only, and would like to go 4 wheel, I know what I need for that, but is it needed with this swap to make it not throw a code?
I haven't researched transfer cases much, what do you recommend and why? Preference is that it bolts in, works with the switch on my dash, and it has better then a 2.72 crawl ratio. But all can be switch as needed. As I am well aware some custom work is needed, I am a diesel mechanic and fabricator by trade, so I can do anything I need to do to make it work, but I like simple sometimes, and since I drive the truck a lot, simple is how I'd like it, easier to find parts and replace parts when they are FUBAR'd. Thank gourd I don't have to mod the heater box! I hate that crap lol It always ends up a mess and more time that I don't want to spend. Easy clean up in time, but I'd rather do the least as possible!
