I am putting a 4.0 out of a 98 Explorer into my Ranger. When I got the motor it had an automatic tranny, I now have a 5 speed manual mated to it. Does anyone have any part #'s or know what computer I will need to make her run. The problem I'm running into is that the computers are different for Auto vs. Manual, plus I am fighting with trying to get around the need for a chipped key which 98-current require. If anyone can please help me, I would be very greatful.
Thanks.

you need to have the computer remap or make sure you get one of a 97 explorer or ranger, but be careful because the 97 model comes with either a sohc motor or push rod, so verify that it's coming out of a sohc.
