Gary Lewis Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 The part number for the owner's claimed donor vehicle is E4TZ-6A023-C which doesn't appear as a part on any 4WD trucks. But wouldn't a 2WD crossmember be flat or more symnmetrical, and not have a dip for clearing a front driveshaft? I'm thinking this was not original to his truck or a typo, because he said he was swapping out his T19 and right there in the picture is a T19 4WD. I guess I'll ask him to clarify. I guess I've been invited to the party, and here are the instances of E4TZ-6A023-C in the MPC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you replacing them on one of the trucks, but it's been so long you may not remember what you used. There was a whole microanalysis on finding the right dimensions and maybe even material.

No, I don't remember. But all of those trucks are 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJam300 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 No, I don't remember. But all of those trucks are 4wd. I'm going to check out the "F250 T19" crossmember that guy has for sale so I can just use a later mount, and I'll report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the crossmember off that guy. It is identical in all dimensions, except of course for the holes where the transmission mount bolts up. The gussets are similar, only difference is that they are wider in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What mounts does it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJam300 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 What mounts does it take? It looks like it can take both the narrow mount and the wide mount. I have all the parts for the wide mount sans rubber bushings because I can't find them. I bought a narrow mount for kicks because it was $10.

And you answered that - you can't find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to bend it with the jack to put the bolts through, but it's in and so is the transmission (sort of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much how I did it - got the bolts in and used them to pull the gusset into place. They twisted a bit but worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
