Gen 1 with 4 Auto (TOD)

[Thomas_JohnDoe]

this would be a cool mod, interested to see differences between gen1 4a and gen2 4a transfer case

Does the Gen 2 transfer case bolt right up to the Gen 1, same driveshafts too?

Trying to research that at the moment. It looks like the Gen 2 TOD is a BW4467 wheareas the Gen1 Raptor/F150 style would be a BW4417

TBH - I'm not sure what the compatibility is.
From what I can tell, all of the controls and data comes from the 4x4 Module and has nothing to do with the PCM itself. So perhaps still compatible with early years?

The switch and 4x4 module are easy enough to swap and someone could theoretically test the connection by just sliding a T-Case under the truck and plugging it in to test for function.

you happen to come north at all? im currently in thornton. i would love to scan you truck with my forscan and my scanner. i would like to read all codes and verify complete compatability. if this is really that easy of a mod, a lot of gen 1 owners will be very happy

Probably won’t be coming up that way for a while but happy to run whatever scan you’re interested. As far as I know, it’s the 4x4 module that makes the magic happen.

gen2 transfer case install

from what I can see they look identical

Thanks for posting that up! I went ahead and ordered a new transfer case for a 2017 Raptor so I will do a side-by-side comparison of the TOD cases and keep everyone posted on the swap progress. Hopefully I don't end up with an overpriced doorstop....

Always wondered if this was able to be done on a non-TOD truck. My Gen 1 replaced my 2013 Limited which had the TOD transfer case. I used it all the time during the winter and it was awesome. If I wasn't parking my Raptor for the winter I'd definitely consider the swap! Outside of on-pavement winter driving I always used 4HI though.
