Im swapping all my suspension and stuff from my 89 ranger to an 88 b2 to allow for more room and i will also be stretching the axles front and rear (front is still ttb) I prerun and crawl with the ranger.
I was looking to run a 2.9 till I can get a 4.0, but I wanted to find the best automatic transmission I could use without too much issue. The current auto in the 88 is blown and Im looking at a 94 expo one for the strength.
I have a doubler so I felt the auto was a better option than the 5 speed, and ive messed up the pressure plate a few times with crap.
So these are my options:
2.9 with a4ld and doubler
4.0 with a4ld and doubler.
Is it possible to run the a4ld off the 2.9 computer or would I have to run dual computers. Or should I just do the 4.0 setup.
Or should I just stick with the 5 speed for less aggravation?
