4WD Controller for 2012+ Ford Powertrain Swaps

$865.00

4WD controller for 2012+ Ford powertrain swaps in classic trucks, running BorgWarner transfer cases, pre-configured for 5.0L/10R80 or 7.3L/10R140 Control Packs.

  • It will not shift into a bind - real-time engine ECM data means the shift happens only under safe conditions.
  • Load sensing on the shift motor - protects the motor; the wiring and the drivetrain instead of pushing until something gives.
  • Smooth engagement - a precise clutch signal rather than an on-off command; less mechanical shock every time.
  • Three wires; not a harness build - power; ground and CAN bus into pre-wired plug-and-play components.
  • Arrives configured - pre-set for 5.0L with 10R80 or 7.3L with 10R140 on a Ford Performance Control Pack.
  • Documentation that helps - full instructions plus a color coded wiring diagram.

Install Level: Moderate

Requires an automatic transmission controlled by the engine ECM.
