Steering Box questions

i have a 94 explorer with a 8 in lift, and it needs a new steering box....i was wondering if i could swap one in from a 2wd 93 ranger....let me kno guys

I heard (that is heard, not a known fact) that the steering box is the same for the rangers- and f-150s-- I want to retype - I heard it from a guy, who knows a guy, who dated a steering box once-- You can do a search for steering gear and find the answer as a cold hard fact.

I can say Ranger, Explorer, e-150 and f-150 and f-250 boxes are the same. I can't tell you exactly what year of each but that steering box has been used by ford for years.

I've had an f-250 and an e-150 van steering box on the X over the years.

You might check the part at rock auto. I recall seeing a wide range of vehicles all using the same steering box. G'luck!
