cool - i think i could make out that the serpentine was a gates, but number wasn't visible. haven't gotten to the other belts yet - being xmas and all... will likely let the tank go then, with the rolling chassis of the ford - should I keep the wiring harness? apparently it's a good idea to keep the tach - but couldn't I just run a line off the alternator into the tach in the montero dash? that would seem easiest. also, the 'gas' smell was just old diesel - had a friend confirm that. Does anyone know if the clutch assembly/flywheel that is stock on the ford 2.3 diesel [4d55t] will bolt on to my mitsu 5 speed tranny? The ford was a 5 speed tranny... I was worrying about the starter, and am not sure about how to proceed on this - just bolt in? I'll likely check the splines on the ranger vs the splines on my parts raider to verify if they are the same, I hope they are, I want the diesel starter, as I hear it's the one I need to be able to turn over the engine. Merry Xmas to those who celebrate! Happy Holidays all!
