First, Im not sure if this is the correct forum or if I should have posted this in the modified section. Mod please move this post if I am in the wrong section.
I have a '01 2wd Cherokee that I will be converting to 4wd. I have a couple of parts interchangeability questions. Labor is not a problem and before anyone asks 'why?' its because I got the 2wd for free. Of course I would prefer to find a whole 4wd jeep of similiar vintage and just grab all the parts but that will most likely be out of the budget so Im going to be doing some junkyard crawling and want to make sure I have my cheat sheet made before I go hunting down parts.
Are all the electronic AW4 transmissions the same? Were there any changes when the Jeeps went OBDII or will a 90 go straight into my '01? If not are the internal parts all the same. Can I use an early trans and get the outputshaft and tailhousing out of a 4wd and swap into my 2wd?
For a transfer case I will just use whatever comes on the back of my 4wd trans.
Front diff I imagine it will be best to use a non vacuum disconnect HP30 which are 92-99 I believe.
I'm gonna be on the lookout for a D44 which I believe came in '87 -'89 models with towing packages?
Right now id like to go with some OME springs, but they sure are proud of them so I may end up with a bastard pack to start with. I dont want to go to high, so I think the S10 pack whihc has been refenced on this board will get me around 3" id like. What year S10 am I looking for to to steal the springs from?
Thanks for the help, George
