Any M5OD will bolt right up. You can find them in any 1990-2011 ranger that have a 5 speed tranny 2wd or 4x4 doesnt matter.
Um...No! He will need an M5OD-R1 from a 2.9 or a 4.0 that is already 4x4 unless he wants to change over the mainshaft from the 2wd to be a 4x4 transmission. The 4x4 mainshaft is shorter than the 2wd version. The bellhousings are not removable between the transmissions therefore the 2.3 and 3.0 will not work unless he wants to change out the internals.
so i need the M50D-R1 is that the only one that will work what will i need for this conversion?
Why do you have a duplicate post??

The real question is...why own a lowered 4x4? Never could understand why people lower 4x4s, Edges, Sports and use 50 series low profile tires.
