4.6 and 5.4 F150 often had the manual t case
98-04 I think it is
The hard part is making sure you also get the SHIFTER and linkage!! many times the transmission will already be missing from the junk yard = the T case shifter went with it
Good time to grab your front and rear driveshafts also
No mods needed for 4406 to bolt up
Also only the first ones had a speed sensor in the tailhousing so if your ranger is pre 98 you will want a 4406 with VSS in the tailhousing
I have converted at least 7 explorers from AWD to 4x4 using the 4406m and two using the electric shift
The 4406e (electric shift) can also be done but it requires a fuel tank from an Explorer sport and some tricky 4x4 control module wiring
If you find a 4.2L truck and it has a manual transmission, grab that stinking transmission too, the M5OD 5 speed behind the 302 is a sought after junk yard part these days :)
You can modifiy any AOD/ AODE mustang auto transmission mount to work with your explorer trans crossmember. I have a custom urethane trans mount from Autofab I run in my trucks
