what does it take to convert? just the tranny and wire it up or is there more to it then that

 

Why do you want to switch?

 

I've been trying to get the reverse lined up. I want to go from awd to 4x4.
So far from what I can tell.

-The transfercase is a direct swap
-The front axle is different because 4x4 can discconect, but is a direct bolt it. Going from awd to 4x4 I'd need a 4x4 front axle, but going in the reverse I'm not sure if you can just lock it in some how.
-I don;t know what codes you would throw losing the 4x4 transfercase
- as far as driveshafts go, I think the read stays the same, but the front is different.

 

Its not too bad. Pm me your email and ill let u know everything u have to do.

 

Maybe you two (04herod and PSM) should get together and talk...one wants to go from 4x4 to awd and the other the other way around...maybe you could work out a deal and swap some parts and both get what you want

I've often considered the idea of swapping to awd myself, but then I do a 2wd burnout and change my mind

 

theres a how-to on ls1truck.com

 

well no one n my area has an all wheel drive truck. and i got a kenne bell to put on my truck. plus it seems the 4wd binds up when u turn on pavement. and hell whoknos mite want 2 do sum awd donuts.lol

 

Yessir, 4wd will definitely bind on dry pavement...

and I believe that PSM is correct, you'll need to swap the transfer case, front diff, and front driveshaft. Not sure about the electronics and/or tuning necessary

 

ya i read that how 2 on ls1 truck and it didnt seem like there was a whole lot of electronics it seemed that u would just have a few extra plugs and u would just zip tie them outta the way as thatguy said.lol
