i have a 05 edge 2wd and am starting my conversion to 4wd now i have the axles and suspension worked out the only thing i am brainstorming is that i would like to keep my 3.0 for personal reasons. question is did ford make a 4wd ranger with the 3.0 in it that i can rob the tranny and transfer out of ? or b3000 for that matter? i could run a divorce mount off my 5 speed but would rater just run one that bolts to my tranny. now i already know im gonna have to get both the transmission and the t-case because my 5-speed is a single mold tranny? any one messed around in the 3.0 world or is every buddie rollin with 4.0's and v8 swaps. any help would be usefull.

Thanks brother, i knew i had a M50D just didnt know if ford had made a 5speed w/transfer in the newer 3.0's. im glad you figured out what the hell i was trying to ask. and as for the manual t-case i wouldnt want it any other way. something about water/mud and electronics just doesnt sit well with me. once agian thank you for the help!
