@CHdollar06 so 89 is a problem year. Late 89's usually had the later model dash that interchanges easily. If it is an early 89 it is best to use the dash wiring from the done vehicle. That's how I have done the several I had done over the years. Hope this helps.

@@risersgarage7004 thank you for the help! How do you tell whether it’s an early or late model dash?

@CHdollar06 build date on the Vin tag. I think after August is late build

That's awesome man! Sorry the 4.0 fought you so hard that sucks. I plan on trying to make some more (higher quality) videos soon and show the updates on my Notchback. You should post a video of each when your done.

@@risersgarage7004 👍👍 It was the harness on the 4.0. I had to put three harnesses together from different Rangers. Next time I’m getting a donor vehicle and bringing the whole thing where I’m doing the swap.

@harleyd9857 that's the best way my friend. Side by side so you can't miss anything.

The bell housing and crank (6 bolt) are the same, the 2.9 uses an 8 7/8" clutch and the 4.0 has a 10" clutch. I always recommend the 10" clutch for any 4.0 swap or serious off-roading in the BII

I am not comfortable giving my phone number over the internet, but if you would like you can leave me your email and we can communicate.

The VIN has L which indicates 1990

I think you should be okay 👌 I have only had the dash harness not mesh with the earlier BII's

@@risersgarage7004 thanks so much 🙏

I had some flat stock and pipe and I just welded up an adapter. It wasn't the prettiest but it was functional.

@@risersgarage7004 gotcha . Thanks

I always do my best to assist anyone who is attempting this swap. You ask and I'll try to answer. Remember the B2 & Ranger sites offer some good info as well. Best of luck it is worth the effort!

Hey man I have the same yr bronco and trans as you. Any tips so far? I’m planning on doing the same

@@KyrohnicsJust got the engine out of my Bronco 2 not too long ago. Been super busy so havent had much time hoping to get some work done here soon. My next issue is Ive been told the 2.8 engine mounts will work with the 4.0 but others have also told me they wont work lmao

So as far as I have seen late year 1989 BII's have the same Dash harness and it should interchange nicely. I have only had trouble with 83-88 where it got tricky. That being said you may run into a few issues depending on how each are equipped Guage wise.

@@risersgarage7004 thanks for the response. I hope everything plugs right up. Searched far and wide for a 92. I plan on taking all of the BII’s engine harness out, less the heating, air, and air cruise control wire, and putting all of the engine harness in from the 92 Ranger. The only difference is the 92 Ranger harness is from an automatic and my BII is an automatic The things I’ve heard problems from is the reverse lights not working. I’ve got the neutral safety switch bypassed already, as well as the clutch safety switch. Guess I need to get the harness in, then start asking questions.

@@G.Harley.Davidson that sounds like a solid plan to start. I have done over 10 conversions at this point and I always run into something I haven't seen before. Hit me up if you get any snags along the way and I'll try and help you out. There are also a couple Ranger/B2 sites that are helpful. Good luck!

@@risersgarage7004 thanks! * I’m meant my BII is a manual Xmission. I’ll start out with my 2.9 clutch and flywheel using the 4.0 automatic starter on the 4.0 so it will catch onto the 2.9 flywheel.

@@G.Harley.Davidson I've never tried that i always buy new parts for the 4.0 but I think it may work ok.

Thank you very much! In my opinion the 4. 0 is the way to go. We have swapped several Rangers and BII's with 5.0's and they certainly have their place but I feel the weight and torque are not the best for the frame as far as a drop in goes. Best advice I can give you is to have the entire donor vehicle with you and go slow. After your 1st one is complete you will be hooked on the little 4.0's. Hit me up if you get stuck and I will try to help you out.

@@risersgarage7004 thank you for the reply and advice. I’ll definitely be looking into donor vehicles as well as potentially buying a crate engine with everything I may need. Still weighing the options. For now I’ll probably just get it running until I can figure out the best financial option.

First all Thank you for your service. I am able to do the swap if you have everything sourced. I am currently booked up at least until the fall

@@risersgarage7004 wow ok. I will keep that in mind. Thanks

Thank you Sir! And thank you for watching!

It's crazy, some of them do and some of them don't. Factory original steering pump on my 90 mustang is quite as a church mouse.

@@risersgarage7004 I've heard this before and will investigate at some point. I'm thinking a pressure limit control valve might be responsible.

@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 if you find the answer feel free to let me know.

@@risersgarage7004 I found a source that claims the whine is caused by air in the fluid that cannot escape due to pump design. The fix is to use a rubber stopper in place of the cap to connect pump reservoir to a vacuum source (they used engine vacuum) to remove the air. I'd probably use a vacuum pump, since I have one. Another source says a pump not purged of air first before startup will whine afterward because it's damaged during initial dry startup.

Thank you for the kind words and consideration of my kid, I appreciate it. Believe it or not he actually chose a Fox body mustang over the BII.

@@risersgarage7004 I think that's a better choice. Won't roll taking a corner too fast like the B2.

I'll help if I can

Thank you sir!

Thank you!

It was worth the effort, it cured all of my clicking.

It is the stock 7.5 with 3.73 gears

The Ranger station has almost everything you will need to make your swap. Good luck it is worth the effort!

Thank you!

It's never too late my man. This swap can be done in a 3 day weekend. Good on you for doing the rebuild yourself. Thanks for watching!

They are fun little trucks, I can't recommend the 4.0 swap high enough! Thanks for watching.

So the easiest years to convert are 1989 and 1990. You can use the rest of the BII drive train as long as you have the Mazda M5OD transmission. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me

Check out my other videos, they show the wiring process. Hit me up if you need further clarification.

I changed nothing as far as gearing, I used the stock Maxda M5OD but opted for the larger clutch and flywheel of the 4.0 I have had zero issues since thus and have done several more conversions. Best of luck and reach out if I can be of any help.

Okay so a 2005 4.0 is SOHC which is different than the 4.0 OHV I install. It can be done just will require more work on the electrical side as the newer engine is OBD II and your Bronco is OBD I. I have yet to do this job on a Bronco but am confident I could make the swap. I wish I had better information for you. Best of luck!

If my videos aren't enough I will do my best to help you out. The swap is well worth the effort I can promise you that

Your 4.0 engine is OBD II and your bronco is OBD I. I have not tried to graft the two harnesses together in a setup like yours, like I did in the videos. I have done a newer 4.6 explorer and I had to use everything wiring, guage clusters and all to make it work.

Riser's Garage thanks for the reply!🤘🏻

De nada mi amigo

So the explorer body is 2" wider and approximately 13.5 -23.5 inches longer depending on model. That being said as near ss I can tell on the 1st gen Explorer is the same from the cowl forward. The doors are not interchangeable and the length appears to be from the door back. I am guessing as I do not have one to measure at the moment but the rear wheel would not line up??? I very well could be wrong

Honestly, other than a clutch and a flywheel because my donor was an automatic it is fairly straightforward. I did rebuild the injectors and re-gasket the engine. But no special parts are needed.

@@risersgarage7004 So if I run into issues i can call you 😅 my diesel side is coming out and wonder how well a 4bt Cummins would fit. Be simple as simple gets for swaps. Love to take the 12 valve out of my dodge but she's to long to fit 🤣

@@sniper66668ify I always try and do my best to help people out with their swaps so feel free to ask me as you proceed with your swap. The 4BT is a really cool engine we did one years ago into an early bronco and it turned out really well. Best of luck on your swap and I'll help if I can.

@@risersgarage7004 Thank you very much. Looking at engines and pricing things this weekend. You are awesome. Never had someone reply to comments before.

@@sniper66668ify thank you, it's not a problem at all I am glad to help.

That's an awesome deal, you will enjoy it.

Time for a change, the new engine will not need it. More videos coming soon I hope.

You and I have some things in common I got my 93 in 98. Daily drove till 2015. Been keeping up with Maintenace so runs perfect but want paint job and more power. Do you suggest Kenne bell?

The Kenne Bell was awesome! Instant power! And that blower whine! I highly recommend it.

@@risersgarage7004 hey I would like to pick you brain on my build. Is there a way to exchange emails outside of public comments.

@@eddiefalcon8316 I am not sure on that ? But I am glad to try and help you out if possible

Without being able to see it, I would need some more information. Qhat year of BII? What year Explorer? Did they use the full EXP harness or just the engine/computer harness? Lots of variables. Try and start with this link below. www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/EDiagrams/files/Diagrams_StartIgnition83to882_9.JPG

I am sorry man, I do not have knowledge of people working that area. If you can manage to get it to Colorado I do them on a regular basis now.

@@risersgarage7004 Ok. Cool. I have an 87 bronco iii. Can’t figure out why it’s ruining funky. How much “ball park” would it cost to upgrade motor etc.

@@risersgarage7004 where in Colorado are you located and are you still doing swaps? I have a 90 B2 and have been gathering stuff for swap. If you are still doing swaps I would love to give you some business

I am in Southern Colorado on the Front Range. I am currently scheduled out until next summer. If you are not quit ready yet maybe we can work it out by then

@@risersgarage7004 that’s perfect. I’m located just south of Durango. Maybe I’ll give it a shot and if I run into a problem, if you’re willing I can give you some business with helping me with the wiring side of it. Thank you

Sorry man no thanks

That's great that you have all of that wiring. So since your BII is a 1990 the gauge cluster is compatible with the explorer. This is an easy swap, you will not have as much cutting and soldering as in my video. I learned this in the swaps since my first. Start at the computer on the passenger side and remove all wiring working your way to the bulkhead connector on the driver's side if you are careful you can utilize the entire Explorer headlight and engine harness and it all plugs right in. I have now done 4 conversions like this. If you get stuck hit me up and I will try and clarify.

@@risersgarage7004 thanks so much man. Currently I’m dealing with the issue that the explorer harness does not have the 2 plugs behind each headlight that runs I assume the door power for windows and locks.

@@302fox well that is something I haven't had a problem with yet. The explorers i have used have power windows and locks but none of the Broncos I have built have had those options. I believe that with the proper schematic you could easily power those up by keeping your old harness and splicing in with the new. Keep me informed on what you did so we can share with other folks if they run into this problem.

@@risersgarage7004 will do man ! I think the plan is to use the bronco power harness and a 91 explorer ecu and engine harness. And the 2.9 driverside oil press and coolant harness. Haha. It’s a mess !

@@302fox trust me bro, you will work your way through it, take your time, be patient, and have confidence. I was nervous as shit the first time I did the swap.

My bronco has a 1.5" lift with 31x10.5x15.

The engine block is the same as far as the bellhousing is concerned. As far as your drive shaft goes, I have had good success using explorer drive shafts and having them cut and rebalance by our local driveline shop. I usually use a drive shaft from a 2 door Sport, but you may need one from a 4 door to compensate for the 4" lift kit.

@@risersgarage7004 thanks man. I appreciate the help. Im curious as to the driveshafts i find online. I have found a few that say they will fit but says nothing about for a lifted one. They do however have different sizes ranging 30" to 36" im wondering is there any reason i cant measure the size driveshaft i need and order one online ready to go?

No problem at all man. There is no reason I can think of, the only reason I use cut explorer driveshafts is they are already on the parts trucks and I am a cheap bastard. Empire or any of the driveshaft companies can build you a driveshaft.

@@risersgarage7004 well i can say the same for myself. I always go the cheaper way if i can get away with it. I honestly would like to try your idea with the explorer driveshaft more. I actually have one in my driveway but its my dads and it runs. Ill have to find a wrecking yard that has one. Can you possibly give me an idea of what they charge me to cut measure and weld one?

I am not sure on the cost in your area as all shops vary. I believe I paid a little over $100.00 last time with new u-joints

I don't recall where I bought the blower from, sorry. I am currently using the pipe on the car N/A. I do not have any driving videos yet but the car will be on road by summer so more videos will be coming.

I am not sure on direct messaging either. I will be glad to try and help you out, have you watched my other videos on the wiring? I think they may help too, if not leave me an email address and I'll reach out to you. Thanks for watching by the way.

@@risersgarage7004 Iwashington1664@gmail.com ive watched some of the wiring videos just trying to find some of your links where you got the wiring info from. Great content btw

Well excuse me I just finished the video 3.73s. Ok what's your rpm at 65 in 5th?

Not a problem my friend, I have 3.73's it runs around 1900 to 2000 rpms at highway speeds

I AM Using the Mazda M5OD that came with my Bronco but it is the same 5 speed that is in the early explorers. I am told the other 5 speeds that ford offered will not hold up to the torque on the 4.0, not sure how true that is though.

I'm using the fm146 that came in my bronco ii. It's held up well so far.

@@Keeg02. cool I’m doing this swap on my 87 I appreciate your videos thanks
