Hi
I have a Dodge ram 1500 2x4 5.7L HEMI 2003 (The Short model with only 2 doors)
Is it possible to replace the automatic transmission(2x4) with a 4x4 automatic transmission ??

and do i need more than the 4x4 transmission and the axelshafts !?

thanks
tommy

 

yes, some dough. At least you donts have to worry about warranty, oh wait, yes you dos. 7/70.

 

dough? you mean money?
Im from Denmark so some words i dont understand.

there is no warranty on my car its from Texas

so i can just get a 4x4 transmission and the axel shafts put it on and it works?

what with the controlerbox !? is that the same ?

thanks
tommy

 

It depends on the frame. I don't know for sure. You used to be able to do swaps like that with the older Ford trucks/Broncos, but with newer vehicles, it may not be "practical".

You'd need to buy a trans end housing and output shaft, transfer case, transfer case mount, transfer case crossmember, front driveshaft, shorten the rear driveshaft, buy a front differential, Front differential mount, front CV shafts, Front 4x4 spindles, Front 4x4 bearings, 4x4 controls for in the cab, floor modification to fit said controls and probably different front torsion bars due to added weight.

Honestly.....it would be easier to sell your truck and buy a 4x4 and probably spend less, and have more spare time.

 

Holt up are you trying to change your truck to a 4x4? If this is the case you'd really be better off buying a new truck. You'd need a front axle with a differential, front and rear drive shafts, a transfer case and a few more things. Basically the transfer case bolts onto the transmission, then the front and rear drive shafts go into the front and rear differentials and walla, you have a 4wd. Now, the transfer case will probably run between $1500 and $2000 for a new one, front diff will be about $1000, and the drive shafts will be about $500 between the two (I have not priced any of these parts but I am basing it off or rebuilting my Jeep 15 years ago and the approximate prices I blew fixing my jeep). The transmission powers the transfer case which will send poser to the rear driveshaft (2wd), both the front and rear drive shafts (4wd high or low), also there is a neutral position so that no power is going to the drive shafts nor is their power going back to the transmission when the vehicle is being towed. I am sure there's probably other costs involved but like I said it'd be easier to buy a new vehicle than to try to mod your vehicle to a 4wd.

If I am completely off of the subject then ignore my post but this seemed like the real question that was being asked to me.

 

ja , mange penge

 

i think you guys are right i need to by a new truck if i need a 4wd.
so i will get another if i need it -
thanks for your answers.

ELTUPAC ---> were can you write danies from!? if i can ask!

yeah, money for the tranfer aside, the headaches that would come with the change arent worth it,lol

 

And you may have to swap out the rear axle's ring and pinon to match the front drive axles ring and pinon....Add a new front suspension and you could by a new 4x4 for less...
