So I am gonna do this by the end of the year. lets make a parts list. I'll start Transmission Transfer case Rear Driveshaft Front Drive shaft Front axle Housing, including axles, cv's Matching R&P Knuckles Rotors 4.6L 4x4 ECU 4hi/lo switch Truck is pre-wired for the 4wd switch, just need the switch as mentioned. what have I left out? Thanks!
how so? if i find a wrecked truck but good powertrain, its like $2k tops, which is cheaper then a new truck note. hell, price all that stuff i listed from ebay, its like $2.5k. The ECU is going to be more expensive then the transfer/transmission. I'll also have my transmission to sell for some cash back.
Personally I don't have the time or patience to do something like that. I would simply sell yours or trade it for a 5.4 4x4 screw and be done with it.
Look guys, I appreciate the inputs, but this thread isn't WHETHER I SHOULD OR NOT but what is needed to complete this conversion. Its my dime, not yours, so nuff said on that. Thanks for the opinions, but what is needed only? Thanks!
both front hubs...i reccomend a solid axle...drive shaft...transfer case...maybe mounts?...hope your tuck is a unibody...clutch pedal...and make sure the gears match your rear stub...anything else? did i forget anything?
donor truck would probably be your best be cause then you get could get everything. you list above seems to be in order after a quick glance, good luck brother
