Re: 5.0 Swap MD50R2 and BW4406

Food for thought, the compressor will come on then automatically shut off if it doesn't have enough coolant supplied in the line. I could be wrong but when I did mine after the swap I think it was...

Re: 3.0 to 5.0 in a 98 XLT 4wd

**This applies to the torsion bar suspension. You will have to make further accommodations if otherwise.

I did the 5.0 > M5R2 swap and I dig it. You want the 01-03 f150 m5od-r2 transmission as...

Re: Rear main leak

Good to hear! Wish you luck with that. I just found a leak on my transfer case forward dshaft pinion seal. Looks like I'll be attacking a 4406 swap in the near future.

Re: Driveshaft guru's fitment test question

Well, as it turns out, my Dshaft is short about a half inch at natural extension which I don't think will cause any issues. I did however, change the transmission mount and that made a world of...

Re: Rear main leak

Ya, it's best to have a positive ID. I just did a bunch of work swapping my own transmission and then I saw oil accumulating in the dust cover that sits between the tranny and the block. Had me...

Re: Driveshaft guru's fitment test question

Thanks for speaking up! My driveshaft is the kind that looks like a one piece with two flanges at each end, but has an internal slip yoke vs the 2 piece design that used the carrier bearing. I also...

Driveshaft guru's fitment test question

I had my driveshaft cut down after doing a swap because I figured it was too long. The way I did this was with the vehicle sitting naturally on the ground, placing a bolt in the flange at the...

Re: 01 ranger 5.0 > No Crank No Start

I replaced the battery about 5 months ago after the post had came lose in the battery. Since, I haven't had any start issues until now. I did get the battery under autozone warranty so I'll be sure...

Re: 01 ranger 5.0 > No Crank No Start

By clicking, I mean it is one single click on the begining when I turn the key over to start. I have already replaced the starter but I am varying the sane problem which leads me to think the issue...

01 ranger 5.0 > No Crank No Start

I have an 01 ranger with a 2000 5.0 (explorer) swap. It's gotten colder here and may have caused an issue. Got to a Walmart fine, wouldn't crank when I tried to leave. Only issue I have had in the...

Re: dtec 2.3 m5od to 4wd conversion

So I have now received confirmation from a couple of sources on TRF and TRS that what I am trying to do will work as it did with the older 2.3's. Hope this info is useful to anyone not affiliated...

dtec 2.3 m5od to 4wd conversion

Hey guys,

With the older m5od's for the lima 2.3, I know you were able to swap out the main shaft and tail housing from a 4wd setup. I read a thread where someone was inquiring about the same...

Re: Transmission Swap Question

Don't know off hand but my guess is that it would bolt up leaving the electronic shifter part of the harness unplugged / capped off.

What I do know is that you will need a manual 4wd 4.0 ecu from...

Re: fuel injected, or not??

If you go carbed, chances are that you'll be using the ecu for a carbed motor. In that case, you won't be dealing with PATs at all. As far as bolting up, there are several things that you have factor...

Re: Sub box in place of fold out jump seat

That sounds pretty clean. Throw up a pic so I can see your stuff. I'm not married to stashing it behind the seat, just really interested.

Re: Sub box in place of fold out jump seat

No doubt, that is a low pro box right there. I am actually trying to figure out how to stash the sub in their and re-mount the seat over it. I'd obviously "fix" the seating mechanism to be solid...
