I hadn’t thought about that way. I was going to get the axles in and wait on the transfer case, shifter, trans, and driveshaft swap. For what I have it should be cheaper. Plus I need new tires so I...

The 5.4 trans has to be completely dissasembled before the tail shaft can be installed. 75rW trans maybe? No where as easy as the 5r100.

The list that MG provided is my $1100 that I have planned...

Can someone that has competed the kit provide some costs for me?

I already have the MG kit, 2x 2013 axles, transfer case, and control arms. From the list posted at the beginning it looks like I...

Have an issue with my alternator not charging. Batteries are new/good, checked all my grounds, and pretty sure all of my wiring is good....

Sorry for the delay as I haven’t had a chance to work on the van until this morning!

So you all were right! It was just a ground wire going to a frame that wasn’t as clean as needed. 2 minutes to...

6.0 Won’t Crank

Not sure if here or the electrical area was better. Seems more traffic in this one.

2005 e350 w/ 6.0 has sat for almost a year. Batteries went bad and couldn’t move it to a place to easily change...

Just checked and my good deal on axles is gone! Did you get them? Lol

That was the biggest “aha” I recently came too. Return on investment would be a lot higher with 4wd. I am such a hard core cheap butt that I often have trouble remembering that spending a little more...

Ah gotcha. That’s why I wasn’t even going to mess with these current 3.73 axles and try to sell them to someone with a diesel. I don’t trust myself to do a regear and shops charge an arm and a leg...

That’s interesting! Never thought I could get away with 3.73’s and 33” tires with the 5.4! I also have a set of 2014 axles for the conversion but they are open diff 3.73s so I never even considered...

Dumb Question 4wd vs 2wd MPG

I have been going back and forth for years between a 4wd conversion or leaving my van 2wd. One consideration has been MPG because I assumed I would loose a lot with 4wd. Wondering now if most of the...

Swapping in factory 4.30 rear axle into 2wd E350?

Looking to regear and add a selectable locker to my 2004 E350 5.4. The price quote from 4WP was ridiculous IMO.

Currently the van is 2wd and will probably be that way for quite a while. If I was...
