Ive got a 5.0 with an aftermarket stand alone EFI system backed by a zf5 that i pulled from my old truck. I need to swap that into my 01 ranger. Ive already done the explorer style swap so the mechanics side of things ive got down pat. MY current issue is with the electronics. What im wondering is how the truck will act without things running through the stock ECU. Do the gauges run through it or directly from sender to cluster? What about the tac, can i wire it to a normal distributor? Will i have any issues with the PATS system when the engine is no longer using the stock ECU? I've got the standard shift pedal assembly and transmission wiring. Anything else i need to source to swap from auto to standard?
Sorry for the newb style questions. Ive skilled at fab work, suspension systems and etc but this type of wiring im not so good at.
