Hey... I'm in the middle of this now and was hoping for your insight.

Does anyone know anything.
Will a transmission and drive shaft fit out of a 2wd yukon?
What can I expect with the computer?

Not looking for other ideas like "sell it"
I plan to sell the AWD parts to partly fund the swap/conversion

removing the front wheel drive driveshaft leaves a hole in the transmission... any idea how to plug that hole.

and how do I bypass the error code from the transfer case encoder so that I won't have computer problems?

ive got the cv axle issue worked out and want to try to leave the transfer case out when I get my truck back together.

Thx
jason

If its a non selectable awd trans case, it uses a vicous coupler, removing the front driveshaft and driving the vehicle will destroy the transfer case.
