In this video I reinstall the engine into the Ford Escape with a four wheel drive transmission and transfer case then take the Escape for a drive! Getting very close now to having functional four wheel drive!

How did you put the AWD/4X4 on a switch? I'd like to see, considering doing it on my 2011

Finally found what I’m looking for! Awesome channel def a subscriber. But ingot lot of questions lol. So my dad has a 09 tribute, with the 2.5 currently have the engine out. I’m doing timing on the engine new thermostat pump etc. tranny is also out. I also did rear main seal and timing cover seal. So I know for sure that i want to convert this to 4wd. So what dis you had to do? Did u swap the tranny or only installed the bto? Also the computer, like what parts list dis you have to do lol please help. Thanks!

All of the stock FWD electronics work, I just added a relay and switch to send 12V to the rear differential to fully engage 4WD. Had to replace the transmission to add the PTU, and also replaced the rear subframe and rear wheel hubs to accommodate the 4WD parts. I posted several videos on the conversion, so you can see most of the work in those. Thanks for watching!

Most parts are different on the 2013+ Escape and I have not attempted that. Would be interesting to try though.

So there is no electronics to the PTU it self and all the plugs are the same on the transmission as the old one?

That's right. The only electronics I had to add was switched 12v and ground to the rear differential coupler.

How about "The Great Escape"? The cute gal running the hoist did a great job!

Do you know if I can convert to awd on a 2012 escape?

2012 has a different transmission, but may be similar.

Why isn’t your Escape engine covered in oil like mine😂

@PaintedSpringsGarage Жыл бұрын

I have had that engine apart fixing oil leaks too many times. And now it's leaking from the front cover seal AGAIN! lol... I think that blasting the underbody with water when I drive through the mud puddles actually helps keep the engine clean. It's like hot pressure washing the engine.
