For those watching this video is mainly for JEEP WRANGLERS. We LS swap Jeeps and are showing that you can get any 6L80 and make it work with the transfer case the Jeep uses. The adapter used in the video is specifically for mating a 241J to a 6L80. #50-9600.
I've been a machinist for a few years. I want to give you a few tips on tapping. 1: Get a spiral flute pipe tap. They naturally pull the chips out just like a drill bit. 2: Always use lots of oil when tapping. It makes the tap cut cleaner, the threads will be stronger, and your tap will last longer.
@@jeffreypottsll6723 pipes taps are completely different than bolt taps because they are tapered. One thing you don't want to do is tap the hole too deep because whatever you are putting in it will not get tight especially if its a plug. They also start very easy because the tap is tapered. A few turns is all you need on a hole that size. Just enough so the plug is flush on the surface.
dont thnk he stripped it, think the allen head was barely in the plug and jumped out, stripping the top edges of the plug. you can see brass coloured shavings dropping out
So, if the shaft needs to be cut flush with the 4wd adapter, wouldn't you mark the inside of the straight edge sou you're flush, or does that 1/8 of an inch length extra matter?
I feel like I should bring you around to talk shit on everything I'm doing in my garage. I don't know if that the look you're going for, but shit you nailed it brotha. Great vid.
WHAT IF YOUR CONVERTING IT FROM A 2WD TO A 4WD BUT USING A FACTORY TRANSFER CASE, WOULD THE FACTORY OUTPUT SHAFT HOUSING FROM THE 4WD FIT RIGHT ON AFTER FOLLOWING THIS PROCEDURE? THANK YOU AND AWESOME VID BUD.
Are you able to convert a 2012 ford escape xlt awd transmission into a fwd? ...I loved the video you make that looks so easy, not even breaking a sweat.
Quick question. I just did this on my 6L90, except I used expansion plugs instead of pipe plugs. Any way, when I out the output seal in, it seems that the lip doesn't meet up with the sealing surface on the output shaft. I have a sinking feeling the 4wd output has the machines seal surface projecting farther from the case. Any leaking issues or comments on that?
If you use air pressure in the transmission the tapping chips blow OUT, zero chips inside! I use this method on spark plug hole rethreading also, any other method lets chips inside.
I have a 2004 F-150 2x4 and thinking about doing this. I am thinking about converting to a 4x4 🤔 what do you think of the cost would be to make this conversion?
Is there anything else that has to be done Like electrical or anything else My avalanche is almost@ 400,000 n the rpms are getting higher thinking its that time Great video👍
I have an 01 Dakota. 3.55 gear 9.25 and it's a 4x4. The rear end went out and all salvage yards say the 2x4 rearend won't work. Is the driveshaft length the only difference?? I have pulled like 20 measurements on the rear its self and they look to be exact??
Ok so I’m wanting to convert my 1999 4Runner into a 4x4. What other parts will I need? Wheel locks, a 4x4 shifter mounted into the floor board somehow??
need a new mainshaft which means entire trans teardown. Supposedly some chevy models can just bolt the tcase adapter on and then cut down the tailshaft.
My 2009 2wd Silverado with a 6l80e trans just went out. I bought a 6l80e trans that came off a 4x4 2012 Escalade. Can I install that trans in my 09 Silverado? I
As long as the shaft dont bottom.out in the transfer case its ok. Just prussian blue the end and put em together then vibrate a lil and take them appart. If its touching the blue will be gone where they touched.
Hey was wondering if you guys have ever done a manual transmission 4wd conversion I need some insight I’m stuck cause it’s not the same process wonder if you guys have done one before my output shaft is 30 spline oppose to the tcase 23 spline how hard is it to swap the output shaft going to tcase any ideas would help!!
Hey I got a question am about to start working on my dads 2000 dodge Dakota sport 5 speed manual truck and it’s a 2 wheel drive truck will it work on all trucks or no ?
is this possible on a 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlisted sport? I can install but I need insight on if its even possible with that car, it has the options so I don't see why not.
ignore the idito below that said no yes it will it is literally the exact same process dbeen ther done it thought they were nuts when they told you could do this i was completley amazed the first time i saw this done just so happens it was on a 4l60e
Will this affect the sensors or the computer readings. Would I have to install a 4wd switch. This conversion would be for my 2002 ford explorer xlt 4.0l
You're right Sebastian - that didn't convert squat. It still has only a rear output shaft just like it did in the beginning, and no front output shaft for the other axle. This process only preps the 2wd style tranny for the installation of a transfer case, which is where the 4x4 action happens. Then of course you have to add driveshafts, front drive axle, suspension, shifter, etc.
Sebastian Cedeno I did quite a few turbo 350 2 wheel to 4 wheel conversions. All you do is remove all the rotating assembly, remove the tailshaft, put the 4wd short shaft in the output, and put it back together. While you are in there you put new clutches, seals, and a hardened sprag assy, and a shift kit. Then you are stronger than any GM trans they ever built from the factory.
Urgent important 2007 cadillac escalade ext 6.2 AWD. It's possible convert to 4WD. If possible what parts required to convert Waiting your reply ASAP. Best regards,
lol no their just making a Rear wheel drive transmission accept a transfer case not making a 2 wheel drive vehicle in to a four wheeler. You have to tear half the front of the jeep off then find all the parts axle , suspension , drive lines , transfer case and breaks know where to cut what to cut figure out all the electrical issues make sure all geometry is correct then weld it back together. just buy a real jeep it would be cheaper. 😆😆😆
I usually can do small to medium size jobs on my truck on a scale from 0 to 10 how would you rate the job in converting to 4x4 and 10 being the most difficult
2questions How would you mate up an ls4 and general motors automatic transaxle to a Suzuki sx4 AWD system? How would you make up an ls4 to the Suzuki sx4 5 speed transaxle and AWD system?

I have a 76 chief with quadrotrac & I have already on a 454 out of 1993 winnebago & thinking of doing this
I love the video. It’s so nice to not hear music and stupid crap, just straight up this it how you do it.. thanks man seriously.. awesome

Br!an Delta V not to mention it didnt look to me like it was the right size tap, it went in way to easy, should’ve been one size bigger
Your tip makes this video worth while

its just a transmission.. who need clean tap...
Top threads were over torqued and stripped out.
@3:29 strips the bolt hole out lol keeps on like nobody saw that 🤗
oh man I knew it was gonna happen as soon as he forced on it I was like no no no that's Aluminum 🥲
Practice only those habits you’re willing to master you - Lord chesterfield
dont thnk he stripped it, think the allen head was barely in the plug and jumped out, stripping the top edges of the plug. you can see brass coloured shavings dropping out
I think he bumped the toggle on the ratchet
I think he just stripped the Allen plug. I hate those suckers.
Great info. A little trick when running a tap and you don't want to make a mess with shaving, put some grease on the tap and it catches a lot of it.
Quality video. I'm not a mechanic by a long shot and I can do that. Thanks for keeping it simple.
Man I wish this video was longer showing everything
you made it look easy, fast, and terribly great mod! great respect for all you guys!
Thank you. I didn't realize it would be that simple
3:27 .. that thread is done.!
😂😂
How did he keep a straight face when the threads stripped.
He didn't strip it, he used too small an allen
@@gutierrez8669 Because he didn't strip it
i need to learn so much more... this can't be THAT easy !
It’s not. Lmao
So, if the shaft needs to be cut flush with the 4wd adapter, wouldn't you mark the inside of the straight edge sou you're flush, or does that 1/8 of an inch length extra matter?
Also what happens with the axels? Will they need upgrading and what would be the cost of this project?
I feel like I should bring you around to talk shit on everything I'm doing in my garage. I don't know if that the look you're going for, but shit you nailed it brotha. Great vid.
WHAT IF YOUR CONVERTING IT FROM A 2WD TO A 4WD BUT USING A FACTORY TRANSFER CASE, WOULD THE FACTORY OUTPUT SHAFT HOUSING FROM THE 4WD FIT RIGHT ON AFTER FOLLOWING THIS PROCEDURE? THANK YOU AND AWESOME VID BUD.
Did you figure out the answer to this??
Amazing. You guys are miracle workers. Great video. Liked and subscribed.
U keep u tube alive thanx
The best i have ever watched
Are you able to convert a 2012 ford escape xlt awd transmission into a fwd? ...I loved the video you make that looks so easy, not even breaking a sweat.
What about converting the tail end housing for 4l80E to bolt on the older transfer case from an obs 99 tahoe?
I own a 06 ram and I need to convert the 2wd transmission I have with my 4wd transmission! Is this all I need to do?
I want to do this to my second gen as well I have the 5.9!
@@daniel106 brooo same lemme know if you ever do it cuz I have the same exact truck with the 5.9
Yup it’s all you need just bolt up and you got 4wd 👍🏻
What about installing the transfer case and converting the steering knuckles?
Where can I get the conversion parts ? I been wanting to do that to my taco for a long time
taco
thank you very much now i can go up a hill with ease! 👍
Is this possible on any gearbox? Have a cooper R53 S and think this would be a lot of fun😅
Is it similar procedure for an Allison 1000 2x4 to 4x4 ????
would you have to do the same process with a manual transmission?
How about a video for a 2012 Ford F-150 with that 3.7 engine the XLT to be exactly

A two wheel drive has no seal around the shaft coming out the transmission. ?
wait so hold up, once you do that u just put the transmission back in your car? that doesnt seem right, or is it just me?
It’s not it doesn’t even take into account you need a front differential as well as a lot of other stuff
Would it be hard to install a 2wd transmission onto my 4x4 suburban? 2011 6l80. What would be the process, I'd like to keep the 4x4 option
Looks like he stripped the top pipe plug
yes it did look like he striped the shit out that bolt and played it off like he did not lmao
How about the L wrench striping and slipping it happens a lot when wrenches get old.
How much you think i ll cost me for a 2015 silverado convertion
What about an Allison from a 2006 Duramax 6speed 2wd to 4wd? Similar?
I am also wondering if the 29 zpline on a zf6 need xhanged to the 32 spline from a th400. Ans can it be used from a th400 to the zf6.
Thanks I didn't know you could do that. Some mechanic I am.
Awesome video..is this the same for 6L90
Great video can i do this for my chevy avalanche 2005 1500
what about with a 4L80 instead of a 6?
How about ACDelco heavy duty parts replacement for 4l60E ? 5 pinion s , thicker Sun shield, bearings and I believe shaft
other than fit i wonder why the 4wd uses a shorter shaft. Seems like less HP would be required to strip that gearing.
Hi, I need to do this to my 4x4 convert it to a 2wd you got a video on that?
Is there anything else that has to be done

need a new mainshaft which means entire trans teardown. Supposedly some chevy models can just bolt the tcase adapter on and then cut down the tailshaft.
will this same idea work with a 4L60E two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive conversion??
Very nice...would you also have to change all the wiring to a 4wd...how much would this service run for?
Essentially the same transmission and TCM but a 4WD GM vehicle has very different electronics vs the 2WD.
Can you do a 4wheel drive into a 2 wheel drive
I wonder how much $$$ would of be to do this on a 2012 silverado??.. From 2wd to 4wd

It would be possible to make it 4x4 just like that one?
How thick was the metal he used as a guide to mark the shaft to cut @ 4:23 . ?
As long as the shaft dont bottom.out in the transfer case its ok. Just prussian blue the end and put em together then vibrate a lil and take them appart. If its touching the blue will be gone where they touched.
Were your guys shop located? Anyone know ?

If the donor is a 2x4, and I’m swapping to a TJ, will the PCM computer need to be updated or do I just need to make the physical modification?
Just mechanical
Can you use old 4x4 adapter plate?
Hey I got a question am about to start working on my dads 2000 dodge Dakota sport 5 speed manual truck and it’s a 2 wheel drive truck will it work on all trucks or no ?
Do the front differential gears spin when 4wd high is not activated while driving?
Did you destroy the thread on that top plug? Looked that way when it gave way all of a sudden.
Looks like he just stripped the Allen. You can see the shavings fall away, too.
Hello ,,,you guys think is possible do that with a Toyota 22r 2wd transmission convert to 4wd
is this possible on a 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlisted sport? I can install but I need insight on if its even possible with that car, it has the options so I don't see why not.
Hey does anyone know how difficult it is to convert 2wd 4l60e into 4wd
I was thinking the same for a astro van
will this work on the 4l60e?
Gerald Bobbitt no sir.
ignore the idito below that said no yes it will it is literally the exact same process dbeen ther done it thought they were nuts when they told you could do this i was completley amazed the first time i saw this done just so happens it was on a 4l60e
So you can go 2wd to 4wd but can't go 4wd to 2wd?
Mike Dub if it is a 3 part transmission you could just replace the shaft with a longer shaft but if not then I don’t know.
Where is your shop at
Will this affect the sensors or the computer readings. Would I have to install a 4wd switch. This conversion would be for my 2002 ford explorer xlt 4.0l
"What is my purpose?" "You hold the vacuum gun"
What about taking a 4 wheel drive and make it a 2 wheel drive
Hey, can you put LS3 in a all wheel drive CTS or must it be rear wheel drive?
What would a machine shop charge to do this
How much would you charge to do the same for my 2007 Jeep Wrangler X Sport unlimited?
How much does that cost to get that done on a 2006 Chevy Silverado extended cab 5.3 LT
That seriously can't be the entire process
Sebastian Cedeno same thing I'm saying
Sebastian Cedeno yes adding the transfer case is it
You're right Sebastian - that didn't convert squat. It still has only a rear output shaft just like it did in the beginning, and no front output shaft for the other axle.

That is the entire process to convert. We then bolt a transfer case adapter to it for the jeep 241J case
great video! .. was wondering if this can be done on a T5 VW camper?
What is the cost on converting a 2wd into a 4x4
Would I be able to do this to a 2006 2.8l Chevy Colorado 5-speed standard
How much is this to get done for a 2010 Silverado
Is that the same procedure for a 700R4?
Or can I switch the shafts from one to the other?
Urgent important

It's possible convert to 4WD.
If possible what parts required to convert
Waiting your reply ASAP.
Best regards,
How can I do that my sedan or to convert it to awd
Can this be done on a transmission of a Chevy nova 1987 4 cylinders. Just inquiring
Thanks for this video! I understand this is a late post. ?But can this conversion work on a 2 wheel 2010 Jeep Patriot?

Where they are located?
Thank you.
Any chance you might do a vid on a 2003 Allison 2wd to 4wd?
Yow mi g
To make this on my f150 xlt 2020 how much cost to me?
cant speak for the 4l80 but up north we pay more for 2wd 4l60 for street rods because there are so few, while 4x4 units are plentiful. good vid tho
Where are you located?
How much would this service run for?
Miguel Bravo we don't charge for this service. It takes 10 minutes to do. maybe some beer..
$2000
Swap Time u don’t charge?!?! If thats the case ill buy beers for the whole crew if u can convert my 2 wheel dr dodge charger RT to a 4 wheel dr
Is this the same even with 4l60?
Do you have a kit I want to get ride of my 3spd auto on my 2001 TJ with a 4ltr and would like any over drive setup? thx dan
I usually can do small to medium size jobs on my truck on a scale from 0 to 10 how would you rate the job in converting to 4x4 and 10 being the most difficult

Anyone notice how that top plug gave way on the last turn? 😂
yep, that sucker stripped. He was moving too fast and over torqued it.
😂 ye
But i think his hex rounded off and slipped
