Very nice clean job my hats off to you. I got a kick out of you saying its straight piped while filming a glasspack muffler on the exhaust it is plenty loud anyhow. As for fuel gelling run some howes anti gel and you will never have an issue again I promise. It hits -40 up in my parts and I have never had it gel up on me. You should be very proud of your build looks factory well done.
Really wish I had seen this before I rebuilt my 4.0. Even did a complete chassis swap so I had it literally down to a pile of parts. Would've been so easy to do at that point...
You had that shitty ford 4.0 pulled out of it and put it back in after seeing and knowing all of its issues?!? Why? Those dohc ford motors are crap, meant to fill junk yards when the timing fucks it because who is gonna pull the entire motor to change plastic guides? And all the other plastic crap ford thought would be a good idea to put on the motor like the whole intake plenum and thermostat housing then putting bolts that obviously will need to be removed for regular maintenance all up behind shit in some fucked place and make it a allen head ot some shit.. lol. Pain in the ass motor in my opinion that you really cant build on for any good power..,
it get to -50C here in alberta canada and i dont have issues with diesel freezing! use some howes fuel treatment that makes ur diesel not freeze and gives the engine better lubrication. Zerostart coolant heater would also be a good idea! makes the TDI start like its a summer day no matter what the temp is! Awesome swap looking forward to doing one myself
YES dude this thing is awesome! I've seen this around Monument tons of times and have been hoping to catch you at a gas station or something lol. Sick swap!
The ME7 VAG ecu is the most versatile OEM ECU ever made period. You can V8 swap, single turbo convert a twin turbo 2.7, v10 5.2..... 1.8t, 2.8 etc etc, that thing can be used for so many OEMs in the VAG world.
This might sound fawked up but it’s easiest if you have a extra harness so you have one for reference and one for plugs/pins! The junk yards would be your best friend
I just did the mercedes om617 turbo swap.. older swap sure but all mechanical and no ecu or wiring to fail. Drove my truck home 6 hours with no alternator and it never failed.. i like the 1.9 swap but out of my price range so far 😩
Well, I know you may want a TDI diesel, but you could import a Ford 2.8L powerstroke diesel that was made for the Ford Ranger, talks with the original Ford ECU, has the appropriate dimensions to fit the engine bay, and it has better torque figures compared to the VW engine
Man, if ford had sold a similar setup, they would've sold alot more. Nice build, personally I'm not a fan of the stack but it's a really nice ranger, it's coming from someone that never liked them. I would've lived to drive yours. I had a jetta tdi alh and was hands down my favorite car to drive that I've ever owned.
Dude you nail it...hell yeah Iam 54 and I seen a lot of builds , (I have a 2001 ranger with the 3.0 v6)and your is wayyyy better than mine. not one but 10 thumbs up.
Ive seen you at the light at 83 and Hodgen so many times in my blue ranger, and everytime I see you I always wonder why it has a stack...now I know. That visor also always makes me do a double take.
I’ve always considered doing this but my two questions were always power steering that seems easy.. and I’m not the best wiring guy in the world lol.. did you buy that stand alone harness?? Or did you chop it up your self? Great build I think you’ve inspired me to do this to my dirt bike hauler truck
That is a beautifully built truck that undoubtedly gives you a lot of satisfaction and pride. Would you mind mentioning how much did it cost to do just the engine swap and electrical hookups? Thanks for sharing your video.
Here where I live the ranger actually used to come out standard with a 3.0L powerstroke diesel engine, the 2.3l gas was an optional that almost nobody wanted. 1998 - 2004: 2.8L turbo diesel, 2.3 gas or 4.0 v6 gas | 2004 - 2009: 2.8L turbo diesel or 3.0L turbo diesel | 2010 - 2012: 3.0L turbo diesel only. And it also had a crew cab option! lol
Im not gonna lie my ranger is 2011 4l v6 og engine and tranny and has already hit 400k kms with no problems, so the fact that stock has lasted me this long blows my mind on how much longer its gonna last. Awsome mods i love it
