The PCM maintains a reflash count?

What style do you have selected at the bottom left (mine says 'Shades of grey')?

Pics for sure. I've been waiting to see this come together for a long time. It's a shame you're so far away. I'd love to hand mine off to you to sort out a few lingering things on my own build.

Just wanted to reach out - have you gotten your Torsen diff yet? Thanks!

Can you do me a huge favor when yours arrives? I'd like to see the way Torsen's diff is set up to retain the axle shafts into the carrier. Powertrax has a very similar unit that apparently doesn't have the provision to do this. If there's a way to work around that issue, it may be another...

For what it's worth, this is who called me from Torsen: Rob Currie 585-464-5009 The voicemail indicated to call him to order. It's still showing out of stock on the website, so that's probably the only option for the time being.

That really should be in a separate thread.

Am I remembering correctly that there was a change in the cluster after '02 that complicates the swap? Seems like it became paired to the ECM after that so you have to swap it out to the older system to put in the 5.0 ECM.

Even on the later ones, the simplest option would be to pick up a PATS module to use with the spare PCM and pair them using Forscan. That way you could still have a spare computer ready to go (you'd just need to swap the PATS module in tandem with it). All that aside... no, you shouldn't have...

Yep. I was startled when I removed the hood of my '99 Ranger and the '99 Explorer that I used as a drivetrain donor - the Explorer hood was steel and easily twice the weight.

Can you chase the wires to a sensor? Or confirm the colors and match to a wiring diagram?

Just to confirm - you aren't running LED headlights or anything like that, correct?

Right, I get that. You're doing a swap and trying to keep your 1354 behind a V8 rather than the AWD case. I'm suggesting that instead of the headaches involved in making that happen (or sourcing a relatively rare manual shift case), you can use your existing 4wd controls with an e shift 4406...

If you have a 1354 electrically shifted case now, you can just use a 4406 e shift case with your existing wiring. Way cheaper and more reliable than adapting to keep the 1354.
