Thats been my feelings as of late. Between the forthcoming TC upgrade and now the availability of E-click for Gen2 Live Valves, its starting to feel like a brand new rig!
With a new Raptor being over 2 times the original asking price of mine, it's a no-brainer for me to keep updating my gen 1 as parts break or fail. Anybody new getting into Raptors could upgrade a Gen 1 with some nice amenities for between 5-10k to modernize it. I won't do the AOD conv until mine gives me a reason to, but it makes perfect sense to change it up if it fails, why put the same old type back in.
I agree with all of the above, plus I fell in love with the Gen1 when it came out and worked my arse off to get one. Its more nostalgia/sentiment at this point but I still love it.
That's a great idea, but we will have to put up with a certain member saying "the gen 1 is outdated and that 6.2 is a dog compared to the v6" , "it will never compare to the superiority of the ttv6"
… im a bit slow on this type of technical stuff lol
Instead of what have you done… it could be what gen 2 or gen 2/3 parts are compatible. Idk just tossing ideas out lol
I'm still trying to understand how the transfer case knows the front wheels have traction and not to engage the front driveshaft, thought wheel sensors would come into play, but maybe it's just clutches inside the TC.Sooo what y’all are saying is to wait and find out if the aod from a gen 2 works vs just getting the older tod tc? Would the awd work like the 4a on a switch?

Oh boy...
Correct, basically for Gen2 it is a traditional Ford TOD/AWD case in 4A (wet clutch based to allow some slip) with the added bonus of 4 Hi/Lo acting like a traditional 4WD Case (Mechanical Dog Clutch that locks teeth)Sooo what y’all are saying is to wait and find out if the aod from a gen 2 works vs just getting the older tod tc?

I think its a great idea as well
From a previously posted article in this thread on the Gen2 case:
Dont get wrapped around the axle -haha... 4a is not like 4hi where 4 hi is locked in. With the clutch, its variable power to the front drive shaft. most of the power is still going to the rear. The Youtube video I posted a few days ago explains it pretty well. Most higher end "awd" cars have a similar setup.

From a previously posted article in this thread on the Gen2 case:
Ford Raptor unique front driveline
Ford Raptor unique front driveline BorgWarner Torsen Mark Lecronewww.sae.org
"The clutch-based system allows an automatic electronic engagement or disengagement of the front driveline based on an algorithm and what the traction demands are. It'll look for rear slip and that will send torque to the front when it's required"
Woops, I will edit to add in 4A to the first part as that is what I was trying to imply and differentiate between on the Gen2 Raptor specific case compared to earlier Ford TOD/AWD.
