I'm looking into possibly trading my civic for a ranger and its a 95. Just wondering if that or 96 was the first year for obdII

 

96

 

Most cars and light trucks became OBDII compliant in 1996 but 1995 was the first year for OBDII Rangers.

 

Would a obdI motor work in an obdII trucks?

 

What did I tell you last night lol, exactly what Bob just said.

 

Whatever you f150 driver

 

Haha

 

yes it will, i bought what was said a 2.5l that turned out to be a 2-28-1996 engine, and im putting it in my 00 as we speak, i had to swap the engine harness for my original and change a couple of sensors and motor mounts. im installing the new clutch and timing belt tomorrow so ill let u know how it works when i put it in

 

Thanks man

 

if your engine is a 2-28-96 it is definately a 2.3

 

im actually having trouble wit the pilot bearing, seems when i try to put my allignment tool in its too tight, any ideas on what it could be?

 

aight i finished my 2.5L to 96 2.3L swap...i had to change the upper IM and t-body, fuel rail, valve cover, exhaust manifold(one on 2.3L didnt have o2 bung), and motor mounts...and shes running great
