 Let's try again.

You would think after my lengthy recent thread about v6 firing orders and coil dynamics I would double check.

Took 3 tries to get it right, this was the second:

 AND third try, a nearly perfect running OHV 4.0 out of a 99 explorer in a 98 ranger.

 After that we put the radiator in and topped a few fluids off, time for a test run. Black06 took it rather easy on it. I took it for a spin in the mud out back and simply love the way it slides around with the limited slip.

It needs some adjusting but it is drivable.

 Not bad for a truck pulled out of the weeds

 It's got the 3.73 LS rear end, the tow hooks in the front I have never seen anything so thick on a truck that small, bucket seats, shorty console, power everything.

Biggest problems are the ABS/ brakes in general, and the back doors simply will not open. The mechanisms have been soaking in brute blast for a month at least and will not budge.

Overall it turned out OK for a rescued vehicle, transmission was something I was worried about being it could not be driven when I bought it but we won on that one.

I bought it with the intent to sell it, I never really bonded with it enough to keep it.

It is going to a good home and I get some much needed help because of it. And a few parts too I bet :)

 When I change the front bumper on it you can have the tow hooks. I spent the afternoon in the basement going through my inventory gathering up some parts for whitey and I got a method of attack for it. I really love the looks of the 2006-2011 trucks but yet the style of the 98-2000 trucks is a classic look. So i came with a plan to have both. Going the restomod route. 2011 front bumper keeping the 98 grill and lights. 06-up mirrors and taillights. Power dome hood. Should be a fun build

 I've got your tail lights I'll bring them for the next episode. I'll bring the door shells too and I have the a-pillar trim for non grab handle.. I have to keep something LOL. When you get a-pillar trim I'll rivet the brackets on.

Take that radio I was showing you too it is the original one out of my ex cab I don't need it and it is the best sounding one I have as a spare. I have the "just cd player" version but I swear it does not sound as good you can have it instead if you want.

 Truck ran great no problems at all until I pulled it in my yard started to spin put it 4 high left hub hung up and blew out. But that's typical for a vacuum hub front. So it's getting converted to a live axle set up. Good thing we saved the front suspension from that expo Jim.
