Hey everyone
I have a 2003 ranger FX4 Level 2 , my daughters first truck she purchased last wk. was a rare find over here on Vancouver island. Other than the box rusted out and rear leaf spring hangers rusted off , not a bad truck. Fixed the wiring for the left turn signal, replaced the T-case actuator motor and cleaned er up! My question is, what year of the 5r55e will interchange with my kids 2003 auto trans ? Is it only the 01-03 4.0L’s with the 5r55e ,or can I interchange with a later yr ranger say an 2008 4.0L with the 5r55e?
I can’t find much on the web but someone was saying only 01-03 you can swap out trans and the later yrs you would have to modify the electrical connectors. Not sure on this topic?!?!?!
