I hydrolocked my 2.9 engine in my 1990 ranger about a week ago. It has a 5 speed manual transmission and it is 4 wheel drive for what it matters. I need to know what to expect when removing the hydrolocked old motor and replacing it with a used good motor. Im not sure what year truck the used engine came from.
Ive heard it only takes a few hours to remove the old engine but ive never messed with a 2.9 before..
but what all will i need to remove to swap over the new engine? wires, connections, hoses, etc.. its my first engine replacement.
