^ x2 and take loads of pics and post EVERY step you do haha

 

Well....

Me and 02rangermayhem drove thru this..



To get this..

 

I'm going to see what jasper rebuild engines/trannys can do for me.

 

Holy cow thats a dirty diff! Wheres the t-case? and why isn't all this in the truck already?

 

Damn, I honestly didn't think you were going to do this lol. I want to see more pics as you get more stuff and when you start doing work to it

 

The kid cleaned the diff up for me. No T-case yet, have to source one. It's not gonna be on the car for a while. I'm going to redo most of this front end first.

You know it. Hit me or dave up, and you can help.

 

whats with the extra parts?

 

The kid included them. Hell, makes my life easier. So I can rebuilt everything without having truck downtime.

Plans.

Clean it all up.

Paint everything satin black. Diff cover will be painted aluminum.

Replace all ball joints.

Replace tie rods.

New hubs.

Replace all seals/bearings in the diff.

Buy rebuilt 3.0 4x4 trans.

Buy manual trans case.

Buy driveshafts.

Install it all in 2 days.

 

mark my words..... well worth the trip..... you will hear that again after its all installed and we test it out.

 

Will this swap work on a 2009 4.0 Sport 4x2 Auto?

 

Depends. If the truck has torsion bars then yes. If it has coils.....no.

 

It does have torsion bars.

 

then yes.

 

But your transmission will be easier to find.

 

Its such a new truck (3k miles) thinking about just taking it to a transmission shop and let them swap the outer shaft.
I am still not sure about the transfer case and what route to take on that.

Why didnt I just buy a 4x4? Could not refuse the deal I got on this truck and I think I can add 4x4 cheaper than buying the one on the lot.

 

^^ im with you there, factory 4x4 was almost 7 grand more, i can do the swap for half that. any update on your status? also does anyone know if the rangers or explorers came with any other manual t-case other then the 1354? i found one close by but they didn't state what model it is.
