I'm planning my 4wd conversion for january and so far I think I'm going to start with the transmission and transfer case. I plan on ordering a rebuilt 4wd 5r55e and BW 4405. I was going to go with a manual 1354 at first but unlike most people I actually want control trac. Everything seems simple enough it's just the electronics that confuse me I know I'll need a torque on demand relay and transfer case shift relay. I read that if I'm going 4 wheel I'll also need to swap GEMs with an explorer that's has 4wd. Do I need a gem from another 4 door OHV with control trac or will a SOHC work as well? I already have the bezel and switch but I'm just wondering what other electronics I'll need and if all the wiring necessary is already in the truck, and are the sensors for the 4 auto in the transfer case itself? Thanks for any input. I plan on doing the front end: cv's, diff, auto hubs, knuckles soon after the tranny and t case.
One more thing, in this conversion thread the guy says you need an electric 1354. Isn't the 4405 the t case with 4x4 auto? http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324222
