So is a 98 the exact same as a 99-2000 as far as the explore wireing goes? Found a.sweet 98 blown 3.0 ranger, but I've never worked with the 98.stuff. I know 98 didnt have PATS, that no biggie. Can have it deleted out of the computer

I am not the expert. Just trying to be helpful. I'm sure there is better info but this is what I found at a quick glance. Hopefully a more knowledgeable person will chime in and verify.

There were even a few minute differences between 99 and 00 as far as crash detection and engine sensors.

Yes the 98 was different but I like them. Neither 98 nor early 99 had that RCM so you can gain a lot of floor space.

I said early 99 because I have seen one 99 that did have the RCM. Might have been a repurposed VIN lol

Appreciate the info. Been reading and I think in fact 98 just doesn't have PATS.. same wiring . So that's good. Picking it up this weekend. 6 hours away.. good little road trip through the back hills never hurt anyone.
