Howdy,
I have a '91 Explorer: 4x4, 2.9L auto, about 200,000 miles. I had the tranny rebuilt for $1700 two years ago with an update kit. Last fall I replaced the electric shift motor (with a lot of help from you guys). The engine runs fine but the lifters are very noisy even when hot, and the body is beginning to go pretty bad at the rocker panels.
My Dad passed away last summer and left behind a '92 Ranger 2.9 4x4, about 125,000 miles. The engine uses a lttle oil but otherwise the body etc. is in great shape. Last week the tranny went out in the pickup.
Question: can I do I straight swap to put the good tranny from the Explorer into the Ranger? Any mods needed? I'm a fair mechanic...can I do this myself, and is it a good idea? Or should I wait til the Explorer engine goes then do an engine swap from the Ranger?
Any comments most appreciated.
Mike
