I've read all the threads i can find related to the swap and can readily find information on the parts and their corresponding part numbers if ever i do get to do this myself.
But, i still need to justify if it would be worth my while.
In my case, my truck is a 97 V8 AWD and currently is my daily driver with very minimal off-highway use except for going to camp sites and hiking trails and maybe to big bear
We do not get snow in my area of the woods (or lack thereof) so street driving is just either dry or a few scattered rain showers.
My main concern right now is gaining every MPG i can out of this old truck. I do about 50/50 highway and city driving. I also sold my BFG T/A KO's (which rode like bricks) and went back to stock sized LTX m/s.
So,
-will i gain some MPG if I swap out my AWD transfer case to a 4406?
-and what is the issue with the swap eating up transmission mounts? Heck, i dont even know how to check the condition of mine right now.
TIA!
