Ok so here's the pics you're asking for!

Views: 80
Size:  150.6 KB

Name:  IMG_3592.jpg

Size:  153.0 KB

Ok so here's what I was charged for at the JY:
1 - Leaf spring at $20+$2
1 - Transmission Transaxle $120+$25
1 - Axle Assembly at $100+$10
1 - Brake Rotor - $7.50+$1
1 - Environmental fee at $7.50
Total - $293

Here's what I walked away with:
5spd manual trans
Flywheel and bolts
Starter and thin plate between motor and tranny
Manual PCM
Clutch pedal assembly
Extra resevior for clutch fluid
Clutch linkage and neutral safety switch
Transmission wiring harnesses (Cut up by firewall)
Rear Leaf springs
Spare MAF sensor for a 4.0L SOHC
The silver piece that goes on top of the intake by the TB. I think it's an IAC - You can see it in the pic. One end looks like there's a ball under the metal with the way it was formed.
Rear shackles
8.8 31-spline u-bolts and nuts and spring plate
**8.8 31-spline COMPLETE with 4.10 gears and torsen LS with drums (one shock tab is a lil bent and has part of the metal missing, but nothing I can't fix... Only flaw to the axle!)**

Went from there to Shucks and spent:
Fenco clutch kit - $230
Clutch slave cylinder - $64
Total - $293


Can't forget about Shane for hooking me up with tail-housing and shifter!

Then called up Ford through billy's dad and ordered me a Master cylinder for probably around $80! Can't forget about the morning stop to HF for tools at around $45

Total for EVERYTHING I have roughly $700 into it. I've got my automatic trans for sale for $350 and rear axle for sale for $250. Not in a hurry to sell it so I just put it up there to see if anyone wants it.

Spent a total of about 6 and a half hours at the JY today in the rain and stuff... I'd like to thank Billy, Shane, my amazing girlfriend for troopering it out and helping me and my roommate's lil brother for helping me out! Oh and thanks beard for the heads up on the PCM.

Big tool boxes FTW!!!! lol

I seriously should have been charged about another $300-$400 for stuff they didn't account for, but that's not my problem lol.

MANUAL FTW!

Looks like you need to just stop what you're doing, and just put everything in the bed of your truck and send it to me.

I used to like my auto til I started noticing a vibration and chatter from it.

Tomorrow I'm going to go try and pull everything tied to the PCM. So all the things the PCM goes to is getting pulled, just the wiring and then put on my truck for the swap. Zach suggested it.

Oh Trent.... Can you find out what wires are going down to the trans? I was curious for color codes for manual and automatic transmissions. Because if I can just cut into my existing harness and use the harness I cut then I'll do that. Much easier.

That is of course if I can use everything on the manual trans to my wiring harness. If I have left over then so be it. It's got a Manual PCM now too. So the other wires won't go to anything!

Here's what I'm dealing with:

I wanna know if where I cut that harness, if I do the same thing on my harness, will I have the same color codings?

(disregard my lack of spelling... I was in a hurry to post this for zach and I just now realized I spelled "cut"... "cute".... ****... own'd!)

The red one is the reverse switch. The blue one is an o2 sensor. And hard to tell from the pic but I think the black one is the transfer case indicator light plug.

Ok so I went back today and pulled the whole harness. Took me a few mins but I got it. I ended up cutting the spot right by the thermostat, cuz I couldn't get to those plugs on the harness without taking off the intake. The rest was easy. So I now have almost everything to do the swap.

I only paid $5 for the whole harness too. They must like me lol..

I also picked up 2in stock 4wd blocks if anyone wants them. Shoot me an offer!

Also, there's a B2 at the yard I'm going back for tomorrow. I want the factory shifter that it has as long as it fits my trans (Looks just like the fx4 shifter just black) and picking up the manual t-case shift lever and boot and floor plate for anyone that needs it. I know there's a lot of drivetrain mods goin on on the forum right now!

I'll have pics up. I'll probaby buy it whether it works for my truck or not. So pics either way!

Well I would, but that goes in tomorrow! I had a guy call me today on my 28 spline that's still in my truck cuz I hadn't planned on someone buying it so soon... So I'm gonna tear it out tomorrow. I'll be happy to say I'm that much closer to a 01 FX4! lol

Did Someone steal the half shafts off that truck yet? I"d be all over those just for back ups.... Hell I'd take the hole front drive line....

Interesting decision on the tranny swap...
