Re: Guages

Hi again. Does anyone make either 1) a harness adapter to support a cluster swap or 2) a schematic showing precisely which wires to move around in the '96 harness to support an '01 cluster?

Re: Guages

An update. I've removed the temp gauge unit itself from the old cluster. The resistor is readily apparent. I'd swap in the whole unit but the gauges swing in opposite directions ('96 swings...

Re: '97 Ranger upgrade project

Hello,

Neat project. I'm resurrecting a '96 XLT in a similar way and am particularly interested in the seat swap. I'm upgrading from precisely the same seats you had to the 2003 version of what...

Re: Cold to Warm transition problem

I've pulled codes but they all cascade from the EGR system. Other than the obvious EGR issue, things look mildly corroded but otherwise OK for a 174K mile truck. I don't know my 4.0 v-6 derivatives...

Hello All,

I'm new to the Forum but not new to Rangers. Had a new '03 Edge (now gone :egg:) but am back in the pool resurrecting a '96 XLT from the brink of abandonment.
