Today's progress...
I got the 01 fuel lines and tank out of the framerail...
Here are the 90's fuel lines going in its place...
The 01 harness uses a different plug for the fuel pump assembly than the earlier rangers did, so I had to cut and splice the 01 plug to the 90's assembly...
I also had to change the filler necks, as the 01 uses a different style vent...
The 01 tank, notice the size of the filler neck, and the fuel line connections...
Here is the 90's tank...
Naturally, Josh made more work for me by swapping out the 94 fuel tank crossmember for the 01 crossmember. He swapped it out so he could use the 01 fuel tank, which is different from the 94. The tank I got is from a 97, and the tank straps don't fit around the tank, and the tank don't fit the crossmember. Thinking I would have to cut out the crossmember and weld in an older 90's style, I talked to Josh and he wanted to go with a B2 tank, but after talking it over he decided to go with a fuel cell. So looks like I get to extend the fuel pump assembly harness to the bed, and extend the fuel lines as well. The 90's fuel lines are in, and this is where I discovered this...
Looks like when whoever removed the motor tried to cut the fuel lines. So I now need to head out to the boneyard for a set of fuel lines. I also started on the electrical while I was soldering wires together. The alternator plug was pulled off by someone pulling on the wires rather than the plug. The yellow/white wire came out of the connector with the terminal still in tact. The reg/green wire was pulled in two. So I was able to just repin the yellow/white, and I soldered the red/green...
Tomorrow weather permitting I plan to start working on connector C115, the 42 pin plug that connects the engine to the cab. Planning a trip to the boneyard monday...
