My uncle recently did some trading and got a 2000 ranger that my brother use to own but now it has about 300,000 miles on it and has antifreeze in the oil. So basiclly I would like to know what year 4.0 will work for this truck. Lets say a guy has real many 4.0's of different years of rangers/exploders with no wiring on them, I want to know what years will bolt right in and everything will plug into a 2000 ranger? I beleive the engine code is an X, and it shouldn't matter but it's a 5 speed 4x4 extended cab 4 door. and as always thanks for any info.
