I found a good deal on a complete pullout with low milage, the catch is it is out of a 4x4 tahoe. (Up here in North Dakota there isn't alot of 2wd pickups) I want a 2wd tranny, what is different between the 4x4 tranny and the 2wd tranny, can I make it work? Or should I just keep looking for a pullout with a 2wd tranny. Can I just put on a 2wd tail shaft housing and call it good?
You have to disassemble the tranny and swap out the output shaft as well. Its shorter on the 4wd.

That doesn't sound very fun..............back to the drawing board!
I found out the hard way.
Yeah, to install the output shaft you have to disassemble every last part inside the trans. Looking for a 60 or 80E? There are a lot of builders that sell them on Ebay for a decent price. Shop around, watch the newspapers, pick up your local bargain post magazine....if you have time, be patient, a good deal will come along.
Hmm... did not know the output shaft was different. Good to know... just in case my 60E (stock) decides to give out on me soon.
