04 EDGE's 2WD to 4WD
#51

Wow hate to bump an old thread, but I'm thinking of this swap after the snow we've had lately and how much nicer it is to have 4wd.
I know 04 EDGE isn't around anymore, so I'm hoping someone else knows the answers to my questions.
If I were to do this swap I'd get the transmission and transfer case from an 01-03 with 4wd and a 3.0. What I'm curious of with the electronic shift t-case, are the wires already there in my truck or would a bunch of custom wiring be required to have the shift on the fly switch?
Also would a new PCM be required with the new transmission and transfer case? Probably sourced from the donor truck (assuming I have one).
Also 04 EDGE had to weld another bracket on his framerail. Is that piece present on 01-03 2wd Edge trucks? I ask because the stopped putting holes in the front crossmember for towhooks in 04. I didn't know if this was another thing they stopped.
ABS Pump. He replaced his with a 4x4 one. Is that necessary in all years with the swap? Or just because it was an 04?
Gauge cluster. If I go through the trouble of adding the switch and related parts, is the 4wd bulb holder built into the factory cluster or will I need to switch that out as well?
I'm sure I'll have more questions, but for now that is all. I may start a new thread later. Thank you!

PCM is not required but the body computer is.
You will have to add the 4wd mount on the frame, as far as I know no 2wd trucks had them
I have never had a problem with the abs pump
Tha cluster has the bulb holders but the display does not have the markings for the 4wd

I'm a 2E633. Voice Network Systems Apprentice. I'm actually a Guard member but trying to explain the difference and whatnot is more work than I like to do so I just say AF.
Where are you stationed? I used to live in Florida but I can't remember what base. My dad was active duty, but went Guard when I started school.
As far as the swap goes, I wish I would've bought a 4x4 but I got a deal I couldn't pass up. 10k for a truck worth 16k at the time. Dealer misquoted the price and gave it to us for what he quoted.
