So I bought my 1998 4x4 with the 4x4 not working. Took a guess it was hubs but it wasnt. The whole system was screwy and the 4x4 indicator lights kept flashing. Wasnt a fuse or connection and being I hate modules of all kinds I had an idea. 1345m popped into my head and down that road I went. Well it was simple to swap the t case in but being my front hubs were gone and I had mismatched tires front and rear (I was going through a rough patch money wise) I never put the drive shaft or shifter in. Well today I changed that and got to it. Really an easy job if you dont mind losing a cup holder. So here is the final product



nothing fancy, It just works which is what I wanted. Also getting AVM hubs here soon to finish off the manual 4x4 swap.

PS. t case is in 4lo for the pic, made it look better lol

 

Nice

 

Sweet, I've wanted to do this very badly, but haven't since I'm swapping out my drivetrain and powertrain

 

Thanks, Well it all really starts with the truck not having reverse. So i was gonna 5 speed swap it and the trans had this on it. Well i decided against it and sold the trans but kept the 1354m. Just seemed like a good idea for the route I am headed. Only issue is now my dad wants it done on his 1995 B4000

 

Penn State? FAIL!! lol

Nice mod!

 

ugh, i could never have my console looking like that. im not OCD but i need **** looking normal and proper.

 

haha that was under my seat, I am not sure whose it is but it isnt mine lol

That is temporary till I can get to a pick and pull to find a new one to tweak and make better. I put 4x4 infront of my need for a clean console. Also I may just bit the bullet and do buckets with a center console so that would be gone anyways
