    Here's a super complete list of every single thing I had to buy. This list assumes Manual Hubs, J-Shift, and Automatic A340F.

    Pisted in what have you done 1st gen... but figured I'd drop it here too.

    Anyone know what the best way to determine if a Tcase will work with my 4x4 swap?

    I have a 2002 Prerunner, 6 cyl, auto
    I want to swap to 6 cyl, auto, non-ADD

    These 2 Tcases are available, but not sure either of them will work.

    Left is from a 2002 6 cyl, auto
    Right is from a 2000 6 cyl, manual

    @BartMaster1234 is giving me (what is probably the best advise) to wait and get the trans and tcase together... but these Tcases are avail for 60 bucks (for either)

    one looks to have came from a manual transmission.

    edit: dUURR, didn't read all of your post. The left one might be ADD though,.

    the ADD isn't a determination of the transfercase

    my truck came with ADD and a J-shift (manual shifting t-case)

    If anything you need the automatic one. The shifters are different between the two.

    I'm trying to learn here, so bear with the stupid questions lol.

    But the two shifters on the Tcases in the pic look the same to me. I thought the shifter changed (locations) between a tcase for a 4 cyl and a 6 cyl.

    Manual is top shift with the straight shifter, automatic is forward shift with the bent shifter. Auto has an extra coupler to make up for the length of the automatic tranny, manual doesn't.

    I converted to 4x4 and now when I brake sometimes, my brake pedal makes a clunk and it sounds like a spinning noise. Bad CV axle or binding?
