It's been a long while since I was in the Ranger scene with my old truck:
But I'm picking up a low mile 2wd 99 extended cab with the step side bed on the cheap with a knocking 3.0 under the hood for an excellent price, and am going to line up a 99 donor explorer.
So I'm extremely familiar with the swap already, but the main issue that I never solved before parting out the project was the tuning options...
SCT was near useless and I used a 'sniper' tuner to get around the limitations at the time, but could never get the truck to stay in 3rd gear past ~5500 or so due to some kind of hard safety in the ECU.
Are there any tuners out there that have a good SCT baseline tune for us yet?
Also, I assume Torque Monster are the only header options still?
