I am in. Cant promise how much help I will be, Ive never done a body lift before

Today isnt moving as fast as I wanted. The wiring is whats getting in the way. The battery harnesses dont match up at all and you have to kinda make your own. So far ive used the 5.0 alternator wire with the 3.0 alternator plug. The 5.0 battery harness to the starter with the 3.0 harness to the...

Im just waiting till I go to start it and realize how many things I forgot to do

I will do a good write up, kinda just putting the info in here to keep tabs on it and whatnot

I ordered one already but I am going to snag a jy one tomorrow just for the purpose of having it all together. I also want to see if I cant find a truck with the bed off, grab its sending unit (has to be 97 and older) so I can have a return fitting on my sending unit for the return line. Its...

swap has started. pics and details to follow tonight. issue 1: transmission mounts arent the same. Ranger is taller than explorer. No parts stores within 50 miles of me have the mount I need. Junk yard for me tomorrow!

Weird cause the pump has the same part number as my pump. Kinda like I figured they would cause its the regulator that controls it. But my motor is a late 97 so who knows. Ive been told that the rail pressure regulator will do what its supposed to regardless of the pressure being fed to it

So you are running a return line? the explorer pump runs at the lower pressure correct? what year explorer pump did you use?

Well hit a road block. My exhaust is back ordered and wont ship till monday. So its pointless to do the swap without the parts. So again its pushed back a weekend. Looks like I will be doing this swap on my birthday lol It does give me more time to sit down and figure out what to do with my...

Once im done I am going to submit a solid write up on how this is done for the site. Pretty much a step by step along with what you need as well as what to avoid if you are piecing it together. If I had to do it all over id probably just buy a whole explorer. But the picking and pulling of stuff...

Took the day off school cause Im far enough ahead I can do that. So I went and got new plugs/exhaust manifold gaskets, wires, and some assorted bits for the swap. Also got my fuel rails swapped over. I was looking around on my intake and saw two open vacuum ports that I cant remember where they...

Yeah. People who dont know this stuff really kinda look at me funny when I say its a full bolt in swap. I just need to swap a few wires around. Depending on what I can do for high flow cats I may be swapping this weekend. I dont really wanna swap then not be able to start it

Actually his name is Bob. Goes by the handle rwenzing on alot of the forums. He did the swap/write up originally. God only knows who has re-written it. Got my trans harness/throttle and shifter cables/ and neutral safety switch today. Damn near died though. Working under the mountianeer minding...

Just writing out the parts list so I can double check it Motor/trans/transfer case explorer front drive shaft explorer high pressure power steering line explorer motor mounts (3.0 guys just need driver side, Idk bout 2.3 or 4.0) explorer radiator/hoses/shroud motor wiring harness/trans wiring...

I agree, Just pointing it out since a custom steering shaft has to be made there are alot of threads around on how to use the yota box Thanks, Hope to do this next weekend

Most guys opt for the yota steering box as its backwards (pitman arm faces the rear of the truck) and gives a nice steering shaft angle.

You sir are so far ahead of the game you dont even realize it. With the coil buckets factory just run stock 70s radius arms and fab up some mounts. Its so much easier than with torsion bars. Id have to cut my brackets off and start from a bare frame if I were to do that Side note: got my t...

Its on its engine stand now, All I need is some luck tomorrow at harrys and then exhaust stuff and its in. Worst case I will end up driving one of the powerstrokes to the meet

I dont even have the cats. I have manifolds and about 5 inches of the pipes. Im really thinking about buying new pipes and just dropping it off at the exhaust shop. Im sure you can swap to 4 wheel?

I am game for the 1st, I should have my motor swap done by then
