What's wrong with me

[ChrisPerry]

Ok, just got a deal too good to pass up. $125.00 Oh yeah!



Bought for this.....



2005 1500, 5.3 with 163,000, auto trans


Now the question, how hard is it to convert the trans to a 4wd?

 

[Capt Ron]

What is wrong with you? Well for starters you have not doubled your money by selling it to me!

Should be super easy on that one, I count 6 lugs on the wheels which means it's already 4 wheel drive.

6 lug yes, 4wd no. All light duty 1/2 tons are 6 lug now. Makes it cheaper for gm

Suxxorz!! Sorry...

Is it weird everything I read that you type @ChrisPerry comes out in your voice in my head.

Pretty sure it's just a new output shaft and remove the tailhousing

SCORE!!!

 

[Bent77]

I need one of those around here

Smoken deal,there would be something wrong with you if you didn't buy it!!

Thanks Eric. Been googling the tailshaft swap a bit. Not sure it's something I want to tackle or not.

My plan is to put the drivetrain in my FJ40. Was planning on a 4.3 but the LS is more better

Screaming deal, wish I could find a few of those.

Divorced transfer case is an option...tranny stays the same that way,no teardown..and you can put any transmission in front of it too..

Not in a 90" wheelbase FJ40 it's not.

Get an atsg manual. It will give you tons of info.

90" WB ?..geez--you could just couple the tranny right to the diff with one u-joint probably!.....still wont be 4wd though..
Yeah,I guess there isn't enough room for a divorced T-case in that rig!..

 

[Justin V]

Nothing is wrong with you, except 90" wheelbase

 

[ChrisPerry]

Gonna push the front fwd a few inches, but the rear will stay stock. It isn't going to be anything hard core. Nothing bigger than 35s.

Easy, don't. I'm running a 2wd 4l80e in my Suburban with one of this guy's adapters.

unfortunately it would make the combination too long.


After some research, I'm probably going to sell the trans. Looks like a th400 with a 205 will be shorter and thats what I think I'll need.
