New to this forum stuff. I swapped my 2.5 for a 5.0. Was 5speed. changed to auto. changed dash from 99 ranger auto and steering column from 99 ranger without pats. Will start and run with 96 explorer computer without pats but will not shift properly. Will run on a 97 f150 4.6 computer but runs poorly but shifts. Running out of options with this computer crap. Help!

Yep, that's the same problem someone else ran into. The computers from '99-2001' are all the same, maybe the '98' also will work.
