So after searching the forums for a few months i want to try and tackle the t case switch to a 4406 for more power and trail riding. So ive summed this up for what is needed and i have a few questions
Needed
-4.6L Exped/Navig/F-150 t case 97 - 98 due to the speed sensor located inside and not in the rear diff (like on the 98+ Ex's/Mountys)
-All the wiring Harnesses
-Bezel with switch (electric shift motor not manual)
-97 GEM from 4.0 Explorer
-Sport Gas Tank?
-Drive Shaft from Exped/Navig/f-150
-New U-joints?
Questions
How much time has this taken people? I've looked around and it seems that by using the date of the posts 5 days to a few weeks but that involves problems, such as super lift, manual shift and such. Just wondering as my Mounty is my DD and want to make sure that its back on the road in a least a few weeks
Second is money, seems like its around 500-600 dollars? Does this seem reasonable, I'm in college so i only make money around summer.
Are any special tools needed? Like special sockets and so on? just wanted to make sure I had all these so I don't get stuck
Do you actually need a sport gas tank, or can you use BFH and pound away for clearance
And lastly, i know this is a strange one, but how heavy is the sucker?
First off let me thank all the members for putting up very usefull threads which I have read many a times, and will continue reading until the day finally comes, Did i miss anything? feel free to be a critic and leave comments, any help would be appreciated
