There are still some odds and ends issues. First of which is my dip stick fell out on a test drive so I gotta get a new one of those, Secondly the trans is acting weird. So I will deal with that at some point

Put two new upstream 02 sensors in, as well as took the t stat out as it wasnt working. Made it a whole new truck. Idles pretty, runs well, the trans shifts funny but I think it needs a solenoid pack. Overall impressions so far, Its a stock explorer motor in a ranger. Its better than my 3.0 but...

Fixed two big issues in the past hour. First off my wire for the voltage regulator wasnt on well enough and the truck wasnt charging, Secondly the passenger side coil pack was unplugged..........hence the glowing cat full of unburnt fuel. She runs nice now, Starts right up, purrs, but kinda...

Fixed the leak again. While replacing the first o ring I bugged the other 2 around it. So replaced them all and we are sealed. BTW its running and driving now but with serious issues. Ive got a lot of tinkering to do with it but I will get there. Its running way rich and idk why

Well its got another fuel leak. I replaced the injector o ring but must not have seated an injector properly or something. This leak is way worse. I'm almost wondering if the system can handle the psi my pump puts out?

Thanks, Its not over yet. I still have a lot of little stuff to finish up and then the real fun starts. As much as stock will be fun I have this feeling 350rwhp will be more fun

Its not that impressive? lol. It looks like it does under the hood of an explorer. On a sad note I have a fuel leak that kinda stops this dead in its tracks. So tomorrow I will get new injector o rings and redo it. Should be rather close to driving it after that

5.0 LIVES! it sounds angry as fcuk too

No real updates, been busy with work. Got the interior buttoned up and tonight the trans will be in. Then try to start it

That was the plan. I figure if I can keep it cool it will last so much longer

It will never happen In other news I got my trans cooler installed. Its probably overkill. A 35gvwr hayden cooler off my Powerstroke, but its what I had

In the ranger? Nah never. But my dad wants a 4bt in his 95 b4000

That will do it, my ranger is a way to take a break from my normal diesel projects

holy crap, I feel better now. I thought I was kinda old to be playing with rangers and im 25

Clearfield county lol. Exit 120 on I80? if that helps any

The engine stuff is simple, just make sure you find a 99 and up. The wiring is a direct match. I live near clearfield

This swap is pretty straight forward actually. Being an 01 you are bolt in mostly. Little wiring crap and some custom exhaust. Ideally I will have it there for the september 1st pa meet

Didnt do much today, just kinda took care of the manual to auto swap. Took my time and did some wiring tucking. I have a remote start kit I may install after all this is in and working right

Found a 98 mountie with 99 and up stuff on it at the jy yesterday. So I grabbed the air box And kind of just snooped around it and saw how it all worked. I couldnt remember how the vacuum lines went. Ok so here is a wiring run down. You have to mesh ranger and explorer. Its really easy...

yesterday was a wasted day kind of. All I really got done was running my return fuel line, I laid out my wiring but didnt tuck any of it away. And ripped my clutch pedal assembly out. I gave up at about 1030 when I got invited to go out the bar, Ended up out boozing till about 630am so today is...
