On my '00, the 4 wheel drive selector is right there. It looks like an aftermarket knob. Does it pull out or turn? My first guess would be a manual choke, but I'm thinking yours is fuel injected, so it wouldn't be that. Or, maybe its a pull cable for turning on the heater? Your best bet is to...

I would guess the transfer case is geared lower. Look for serial numbers on your old one and look those up, then compare to your current one.

I don't know the answer to this, but if it were me, I'd take every bit of wiring from the engine compartment of the donor truck. Wiring is MY nemesis! Good luck!

New guy here, my 2000 Ranger has intermittent electric window issues. They'll work when it's cooler outside..sometimes. I replaced both door rocker switches and the worked for a while, now it's warmer out and problem has returned. I bought a relay on Rock auto, but can't find where it goes...
