The TRS Ranger is going to be FOR SALE

[PlumCrazy]

If I bought it and wheeled it.....Id be banned.lol

 

[SenorNoob]

I'll turn my focus back towards building up Vanessa's Ranger to be our replacement for TRS-2.

I take that to mean: Keep an eye open for a TRS-3 build thread as soon as financially reasonable.

And hopefully someone in the community can buy TRS-2.

I'll throw my name in the hat since I offered to make a save the TRS 2 fund/thread...

SVT

Jim responded as I suspected he would, but there's no law against charity amongst people...I say let's do it anyway, just to show 'em!

If I may, I'd like to officially nominate RangerSVT to serve as the collection point of contact for the Save TRS-2 from the IRS Fund Drive, since he has a long history here and has a 100% positive feedback score.

Anyone second it?

 

[Jim Oaks]

No...

It's time to sell the truck, pay off debt, and move forward.

If someone wants to help out they can:

A) Buy TRS-2
B) Get a Premium Membership

Ok...FINE!!!! I don't have enough in petty cash right now to buy TRS-2, but I can handle a premium membership. After payday ima get a decal, too. Do those help?

You're a stand up guy, Jim. Hang in there! And thanks for TRS!

It's alive!!

Well crap.

My O/D light is flashing, and when I scanned the codes I got:

P0743 - Torque converter clutch
P0750 - Shift Solenoid A
P0760 - Shift Solenoid C
P1445 - Manufacturer Control (Purge Flow Sensor Circuit High Input)

The motor had a tag that said it was from a 96 Explorer, but all the connections plugged together. I'm wondering if there is a difference in the wiring in the harness on the Explorer motor vs the Ranger motor?

 

[PlumCrazy]

Double check that none of the harness is pinched between the bell housing and the engine...the PO of my 95 had done that and I chased O2 codes for months before I found 7 pinched wires on the top of the bell housing...

 

[Jim Oaks]

I have a bad feeling the pin outs for a 96 Explorer and 96 Ranger are different. I just need to confirm it.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Fixed it.

I switched out the harness for the original Ranger harness. The P1445 went away, but I still had P0743, P0750, P0760 and picked up P0755.

I started checking the wiring and when I felt the plug on the side of the transmission, it felt slightly loose and I pushed it in more. Started it up and the codes were gone.

Thank God it was just a connection.

I couldn't resist the urge to drive up the embankment of the farmers field next to me. I've always loved what a tank this thing is.

So now I just have to detail it, make sure everything is working, and find a new home for it.

Getting it cleaned up and ready to list.

Took the TRS logo off the bedside.
