Need Some Help Ax4-Ax5

[coyote kid]

i need to know if i can put a 2wd output housing off my 2wd ax4 on my 4x4 ax5 i don't want to convert the whole truck to 4x4 just yet i have both transmissions out and they look identical the only issue i see is that the 2wd output shaft is way longer so how hard is it to swap output shafts? thanks btw the reason i am not doing a 4x4 swap yet is the tcase that was on the ax5 is shot and i don't have a good front end yet ... or the money for either part

The short answer is..........No.

[coyote kid]

so the only way to get the 4x4 ax5 to work is to do the full swap

Or just throw in the tranny/t-case combo and not hook up the front shaft.

i could but the chain in the tcase is way stretched

Go to the PnP and get a chain..........$12 or so......I'm guessing.

 

RVT is $6

 

I quart trans fluid is $5

 

You and down the road for $23

last time i was there they did not have anything with a np207 and that was last week does the chain only drive the front ? if so could i just remove it and run it like that till i get a new tcase ? i decided  i want to go with the np231 when i finaly do the 4x4 swap

TC at our PnP is $75, go grab you a good one.
