can anyone help me out here???
ok... so i have a 1987 ranger 2wd 5 speed.

originally it had a 2.0 that was carbed.
over the winter i purchased a wrecked 91 ranger with 2wd a 5 spd and a 2.3, and swapped the wiring harnesses out and put the 2.3 in my 87.
i cut the dash and swapped steering colums to get the gauges in and make this all work.... it aint pretty... but it goes just fine.

last week however, i bought another wrecked ranger, an 85, and it has a fuel injected 2.3 also.....

i would like to put the 85 gauges and steering column in my 87 to bring it back to original look seeing as how my truck is in good shape, but the wiring is different.... can i make the 85 gauges and steering column work with the 91 wiring harness? any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.

In all seriousness, you'd have to know the wiring color codes. You could splice harnesses, or more likely, have to totally swap harnesses. I'm wanting to do what you've done (swap in a 2.3L FI into my 88), but I'm going to try to leave the original guages there. Try to find both truck-specific wiring diagrams and see if you can make them work.

Sorry I'm of no help. Scott.
