Has anyone ever swapped to the newer style dash or seen any threads about it? i like my old dash but am really wanting the new style. i know the heater controls and things like that are different. would i need new door panels too? what else would i have to swap other than the dash?


thanks

Its a huge pain in the ***. I was going to swap a 94 dash into my 96. Nothing matches up The mounting points are different even. It sucks.

 

hmmm i wonder if anyone has pics would an explorer dash work?

 

I doubt the exploder would work either those things would always be like 2 years ahead of the rangers

 

yeah im thinking like 00 explorer i could probably get the dash and everything behind it for pretty cheap

 

lol Power to you if you wanna do it but it is a huge over taking. You have to figure the wiring harness is all different too. 95 I tihnk they went to obdII so your wires will be fvcked

 

thats what im afraid of i really like the new dash and the different gauges and such

 

obd2 happened in 96 unless ford did it earlier

anyhow, talk to sniper101 i know he hopes to do this one day also

 

^^ thanks melt

 

It was 96 but I think everything was still different I just didnt feel like typing the specifics lol

 

o i know everything is different

vents
ac/ heat controls
speed and all that

 

i have a 94 ranger, and i will swap the dash taken off a 2004 edge, my truck itīs now in the body shop and the guy says he will fit it in, for the electronics the who sold me its an electric mechanic he will do all the conections for make it work... ok ok sorry for my bad English.... also the hole dash cost me 60 bucks i will post pics

any pics of it installed? i wish we could get someone to do a write up i want the new style dash.

 

Nop, no pics yet. Tomorrow i will go to the body shop to see the progress, my friend fabricated custom brakets to fit it in, he took some pics of that brackets, also he made some mods to the AC ducts, an the HAVC sistem is from my 1994 with the 94 climate controls, all mounted into the ī04 dash, and the 4x4 button itīs located on the side oh the passanger airbag swith, 4x4 switch from my 94. i donīt know if i will need to use it, because iīm tiking of buying a manual Tcase. i will post pics of the progres, my friend said me it was a hard work. but itīs almost done. and after all that work still need to do some electronics.

 

sweet **** man keep me up dated

 

sure i will

 

i want to see the pics bad lol i cant wait to hear about the wiring for the speedo and everything

 

for the wiring i was tinking about use some autometer gauges, like tach, speedo, gas and w tetmp. but i had a diagrams of the clusters (1994 and 2004) my friend says he can make the new one works. i hope so, because i dont want to spend more money buing gauges, and i love how the 04 cluster looks.

 

so i will upload the progres pictures in my photobucket accoount, because i canīt post pics here, so i will notify you here and send you a link

 

up load them lol
