M5OD tranny in both rigs, doesn't appear to need tranny swap.  Plug-n-play referred to the big white plug on the drivers side firewall.  Intent is to remove all under the hood wiring from donor ranger, too include computer, clutch parts and transplant it in the B2. 

90 B2 2.9 M5OD 4x4, 2.9 is bad.  Running parts truck: 91 Ranger 4.0 M5OD 4x4.  Project hasn't started yet.  Is this swap "plug and play"?

.....my pinch bolt turned out to be a 12 point 12mm. Heat wrench also required.

New 1990 b2 4x4 owner.. What type head is on the upper ball joint pinch bolt? How hard are these to remove?

The distributor price is MUCH better than the magazine quote or buying direct from Ingalls.

I'd only heard of this "kit" but, per the previously mentioned magazine, it's nothing more than a tappered bolt, a tappered washer & two nuts. No change in the mounting position.

Has anyone used the Track Bar Bolt Repair kit by Ingalls Engineering? How'd it go? Is anyone else offerring a repair kit? The Ingalls seems a little $$$$ but, need something..

Thanks for the post bigbad79, I have the same problem......... Thanks for the tech solution 79bigbronco!

Found the cable case rubbed through at the frame rail.......... Many thanks.

Thanks for the info.

I've never had the speedometer cable off on the dash side...yet. Trickey looking clip.... To remove the cable from the top, does that require removing the bottom from the transfer case?

Speedometer needle floats, off & on. Seems more noticable when its cold & at slower speed. I don't hear anything. Any thoughts... cable, speedometer itself?

If your budget allows, I'd replace them all. I played the game of replacing one here & one there....but, you have to live within your budget.. If the cam isn't stock, stay with the cam manufacturer's recommendation for springs. Good luck.

I removed the front bumper & front inner-fenders for easier bolt access. My tough ones were the bolts on the front edge of the front fenders (Ohio rust). As previously stated, blaster is your friend. I stayed with the 79 shell. Sorry, don't remember a bolt count. Are headlight bucket...

Appreciate the info. I believe 26 years the 79 spent in the north east are also working against me.... Ohio rust. I'll keep after it. Thanks.

How do you remove the 79 front brake rotor from the hub?
