Explorer harness question on pirate

His best bet is going with a 97 PCM but he would have to run the PCM in parallel kind like Russell did with his 5 r harness unless he wants to do an odbii swap. Ill ask Russell to chime in

Thank you sir. I appreciate both of your inputs.

agreed, i would direct him to my 5r swap thread on ef, since what he is wanting to do the same thing, just with a different ford trans

Here's a crazy question for you: How hard would it be to separate the Explorer harness into two harnesses, an engine (perhaps drivetrain) related one, and then everything else? Curious mostly because if one were to swap in a motor with, say, a Painless wiring harness or the like, I imagine you'd still need to do a bunch of work rewiring all the other little shit in the vehicle. I may of course be way off base.
