- 98 Ranger 5.0
I just did a 5.0 swap from a Mountie to my Ranger. They are both 98's. I used a 96 pcm to get around the PATS issues. Everything is working fine except if I plug in the DTR sensor the tranny won't shift out of first. I have changed it out twice hoping it was the problem. Luckily one day I started the truck and unpluged the DTR and it shifts but I don't think it is shifting like it should. That kinda tells me the pcm doesn't know that the tranny is in drive so it doesn't let it shift. So now I have a DTR wire tied to the frame in the park postion so I can drive it. My question is does anyone know if the problem mught lie in the fact that I am trying to run a 98 tranny with a 96 pcm or it might just be the tranny wiring harness' are different between the two years? I have all the PATS stuff I was going to install it in my truck if I can't find another answer soon. I have wiring diagrams for the 98 stuff but not for the 96/97 stuff before Pats. any help with this will be greatly appreciated,,,Neil
