Are you going to do any upgrading to the aw4?

 

[Fullsizexj]

at this point I have a complete stock running setup, I plan to install it first and get everything working, I also have another complete block and most of the parts for a stroker but will not do it until I have the stock drivetrain and computer stuff working, reason is by doing it this way if there is a problem then I know it is wiring at this point, if I do everything at once then I have to figure out 3 differnt things at the same time to diagnose a problem, I probably wont do any upgrades to the AW4, when you start changing things on them you usually sacrifice something else in them and they are fairly good unitts for 4 wheelin in stock form to start with, why mess with it

like what? the only thing they really need beyond factory is a good cooler.

like what? the only thing they really need beyond factory is a good cooler.

even for 44's?

 

[BrettM]

a tranny doesn't care or "know" what's going on downstream of it. it really only matters what you're feeding it from the motor, and unless you've got 400+ hp and torque the AW4 will be fine.

 

[xjj33p3r]

Well, I just had the valve body redone on mine. It now allows for faster fluid flow, and my mechanic added some extra clutch packs to make for firm shifting. And yea I've got a cooler in mine.

 

[Fullsizexj]

well got the drivetrain pulled from the donor and rented a shop for now until I get around to building one on my property. I have it laid out for basic mockup while I wait for some goodies to arrive
