Yall are awful at reading comprehension

Not as hard as you're making it out to begin. Or we have a different baseline for project difficulty :) https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/manual-trans-swap-mt88.32696/ I think it would certainly be less work than the guy that solid axle swapped his ranger.

How hot you got the engine IMMEDIATELY before the oil sample has a bigger effect on fuel dilution. Fuel is volatile and flashes off very quickly. So if you didn't get the engine hot or take it on a long drive right before taking the sample will greatly affect your result. I wouldn't worry about...

Back home now. Ford really has the UK truck market cornered. I think maybe 90% of the trucks I saw were rangers. With a pretty high portion of those being Raptors. I expected more Hilux's but 🤷‍♂️

All parking and driving here is the wild wild west...

Im here outside of London visiting a friend and going to Diddly Squat farm, where I see a nice DIESEL saber ranger. It sure made me miss mine...

I procrastinated that job waaay longer than I should have. I really worked it up to be something huge in my head. It was pretty easy in all actuality. I still have to test it, but voila I have a pneumatic transfer case.

Reading comprehension is hard.

Nope. Recycled them.

I wouldn't buy anything stellantis for the next few years. They've gone the private equity route and have squeezed the US manufacturers under their control for every penny, causing the product to really go to shit. They recently fired their CEO, but who knows how long until they right the ship.

Kinda compatible but not really. The Turbo is quite different and so are the turbo connections. The bell housing bolt pattern is the same, but the shape isn't quite the same and would have gaps with the 10r80 Explorer/bronco/ranger 2.3's are all the same and built for longevity and torque...

Progress is going to be on hold for a couple weeks. I can't afford to heat my hangar in these temps!

Nah not a thing. But it was my contingency from a long time ago if I was unable to get the tcase shifter to work woth the adapter. I solved that problem, but ran into another. Oh well. It shouldn't be terribly difficult to do. Simply removing the transfer case and transmission is going to be the...

Well quite a few steps back - but I'm excited about the new direction. The transmission shift cables will NOT fit with the transfer case shifter directly infront. At least not without being super janky and not something I'd be interested in trusting on the trail or in the wild. So I'm going to...

The explorer is a great vehicle for us. I still miss the ranger on occasion but the explorer just couldn't be more perfect for our family. It tows great, I bought a brand new Honda ATV with a plow home and of course the explorer barely felt it. I also added a Ford engine block heater to help...

Project is alive and well. Still chipping away. I finally got an intercooler that will fit. And have been through 3 iterations of brackets to anchor the trans shift cables, and got it installed. I just need to actually anchor the cables now. A couple small airplane projects got elevated on...

Those parts are for my landrover, not for the Ranger. I just noticed it would be a pretty easy swap while doing my landrover project. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/2-3eco-in-a-disco.28883/

Still available

That took much longer than I would have liked but: Alternator is installed Updated panhard arm bracket is installed P38 Range rover steering box is installed Steering U-joint and shock tower was clearanced Panhard bar is shortened Drag link is extended Steering system complete. Upcoming...

Alright time for another update. I'm still fully in the midst of the new steering box kit. I have to say I can absolutely NOT recommend the Blackbird Range rover steering box kit. It sucks in just about every way imaginable. It was very expensive. The supplied drag link is super wimpy...
