After reading that post, there is simply NO WAY I would ever swap engines in a Ranger.  Just isn't worth it, with all the mind games the modules create.  The power window thing though...

ArcticWolf1911 added power windows, locks and mirrors to his otherwise manual Ranger XLT.  He had a rust problem with the bottoms of both doors, so he bought full power doors and wired them in just like Henry Ford intended.  But he didn't have to swap any modules.  He doesn't have keyless entry... YET as I think we have to enable that via ForScan.

The only way I would put a 5.0 in the 04 is to go the carb route with a emissions waiver to avoid the module nightmare.  I can do it in 4 years without the emissions waiver here in GA.
