2wd and 4x4 tranies
Hey all I have a 98 xl, sc, 5spd, 4x4 and found an 01 xl, 5spd, 2wd with only 146,000k's on it, but now the question is will a 2wd trany fit in a 4x4, are they the same?

well it can not physically bolt up.. but it should be the same given the tail housing is the only difference..

The bell housing patterns are also different between the 4.2 and 4.6 - you didn't say what engines are in the 2 trucks.

In a word, no. The 4x4 transmission has a shorter output shaft and a different extension housing.

Ah yes I did forget to mention, they are both a 4.6lt's
So I guess I can't use the trany, but I can swap the engine then!!! And sell the rest off!!!

Yes you could. It would involve dis-assembly of the transmission but it could be done.
