man i cant wait to see more pictures of your truck!
im always lookin at this thread in school and showin my friends haha

 

[mjonesjr]

Here is a few pictures. I don't have any of during the install because I forgot my camera at home.

Here is the new parts going in.

- 4.0 Starter

- 4.0 Slave Cylinder

- 4.0 Clutch & pressure plate

- Misc. Items needed

- M50D-R1 Transmission

- New starter power and trigger wires. Since the 4.0 Starter has a constant hot to it and a trigger wire and my BII has a switched hot to the starter, I had to created this contraption and route it down to the starter.

thats really nice man, im glad you changed to auto tcase, was it always a standard transmission?

 

[mjonesjr]

no it was an automatic when I got it. I just got done with the manual transmission and manual transfer case swap.

thats the only way to do it! i couldnt stand driving a truck with an auto or with push-button. ugh...

did you get your starter wiring all figured out?

Yea it was pretty easy with Junkie's diagram. I ran the new wire across the bottom of the core support and then down the driver side frame rail.

 

[Boggin]

yea i hate automatics,
when i got my truck it had standard 5spd and a standard transfer case, if it didnt have those specs i wouldnt have got it..

 

[Boggin]

also man Its incredible how much you've done on that truck, looking at the 1st page a minute ago i almost cryed lol, just jokin but still it was funny..

 

[Boggin]

Got my "new" Explorer 8.8 (already setup for a spring over) last weekend. I would say it is a safe bet you can guess what truck this came out of...

Look at those prutty 4.56 gears:006:

I am getting the parts to convert this axle to disc brakes this weekend:006: Bye bye drums!
