What bolt ons can I get for a 99 5.0 awd these days?

I drove both of my Mounties several times for extended periods without the front shaft. You’d think it’d add MPG and free up some power but it really doesn’t.

Ford probably figured out the same thing by 1997 when the cad disappeared

Some people talk like removing the front drive shaft will gain you 5 mpg fuel economy. The 2wd explorers get about 1 mpg better than the 4wd ones. So no front drive shaft with a 4wd axle should net you 4 mpg better than a 2wd.
