- '99 SOHC Hybrid Ranger
I just finished my swap, 99 3.0 to 01 4.0 SOHC and the tranny is shifting weird. I had to use an ECU from a 99 Explorer to get around a PATS issue I was having as the 01 Ranger ECU has the PATS all internal and the 99 does not, per the dealership. Anyways, the tranny acts really weird and the O/D Off light starts flashing after about 15 minutes of driving. I was wondering if since I have a 2WD Ranger if having a 4WD Explorer ECU would cause the odd shifting and the O/D Off light flashing. I have since found a 2WD 99 Explorer SOHC ECU and the sperratic shifting is still there.I'm being told that the controls from 99 to 01 were changed. Would this be a simple rewiring of the connector or something internal with the ECU? Your help is greatly appreciated.
