Prerunner to 4x4 write up

I'm pretty sure you can just swap out the valve body and the main plug with the wiring instead of taking the whole trans apart to switch out the output shaft. I didn't attempt it because I didn't want to risk the failure but I'm pretty sure it'll work.

 

And I'm saying that because I have the a340f and the a340e that was in my truck. You would obviously need the output shaft if you only had the 2wd trans

 

i had a hard time finding just the output shaft, seems like you'd have to buy a whole transmission and swap the shafts out

 

But I think I could have put the valve body that is in my prerunner trans into the 99 taco donor transmission i used for the output shaft. The only differences are the valve body and the output shaft. Switching my valve body into the 99 would give me "drive by wire". It would surely save the whole tear down on the transmission. I've never seen it done before but I think it'll work

 

You gonna try it?

 

I can't haha, I already switched out the output shaft. To late

 

I'm sure someone will figure it out. Nice job on the shaft swap

 

Does your truck have ABS?

 

Nope

 

All done

 

Sweet.

 

so did you also change the rear dif?

 

No I did not. I was able to find a front differential that matched my rear. I have 4:10 with an e-locker

 

This is awesome. Thanks for the detailed writeup! I'm currently in the planning stages for my swap.

 

Funny as hell, is it an oem e-locker?

 

Yes sir it is, I love it

 

Yeah I was told that the 4.10 did not come with an e-locker.

 

So it would probably be easier (but far more expensive) to find an 03-04 A340F?

 

Correct

 

Is the 4-wheel drive mount you posted the link for automatic or manual? You said there’s a difference but the website doesn’tsay ifthat mount is for auto or manual
