VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER AND MULTI-PURPOSE VEHICLES AND LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS. Im wondering why Ford never chose to build such a truck. When its done, my Ranger drive train will consist of 2.3T motor, Tbird T5 trans, Explorer 3.73ed 8.8 rear end. Mechanically speaking, it was an easy swap. I havent got it on the road yet but its a good runner.

THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING, SMOKE, AND POSSIBLY FIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AREA OF THE VEHICLE.ĭEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. I have a 96 Ranger with an 88 Tbird Turbo Coupe 2.3 motor. THE IGNITION SWITCH COULD EXPERIENCE AN INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
