Re: JPOR: Manual tranny advice

["Mark Bolton" <bolton@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the 4.0L.  Tell me, what's the difference between the 2wd and 4wd
version of the T-18?  Is it just the output shaft?  Why skip the 4wd
version:  more expensive?   What year and make of truck do I look for?

Is the T-18 with appropriate t-case adapter longer than my stock 4spd?  In
other words, will I lose much driveline length in the rear compared to my
stock setup?

Does this Parts Mike have a web site or do you have a phone number?

Might be interested in your T-150 bellhousing if I go this route.

Thanks.
