MadMax- 23spl aw4 behind renix?

4ward · May 7, 2004

Hey, just saw that you put the 91+ aw4 in. Did the electronics match up? I'm putting one in mine in the next couple weeks and am wondering what kind of surprises I'm going to get.

He's running manual controls on his AW-4, so I think the electronics don't really matter. He has a website about it, and he sells the kit to do it, also. Manual shift

yeah, like phil said, i rigged all the electronics manually, but I'm pretty sure it all matches up

The 97' AW4 I have behind my 88 4.0L all matched up except the plug ends and color code of the wiring. Splice the old wire and ends to the new AW4 harness and it works (even with the homebrew kits).

The only mechanical issue is the t-case will need to match the spline count and depth as well.

Me too.....96 AW4 into an 89.

MadMax, I read the description on your site; do you use the rotary knob to shift? or do you use the stock shifter? I'd be interested in doing this, but need more info.

here is another link with info: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242965

rotary controls shifting after you place the normal shifter in "D".

so how did you know what wire to splice to where? colors dont match up...

the reason i ask is because i am gettin ready to do this swap.

I imagine you get a wiring diagram of both and match them up.

Ed, do you know which goes with which color. I've got a 89 FSM, but not a 91+. Anybody wanna fax me a copy of the 91+ Tranny plugs?
