Could I swap my 2000 Big Bear 400 4x4 "full time" 4x4 front differential for a 2002 or newer "selectable" 4x4 differential? Is there a way to make it work correctly in my four wheeler?

Thanks, NYH1!

 

Anyone??

 

It should be possible, but you would need the wiring harness and whatever else is involved in the selectable differential. Then you would need to confirm the gear ratios of the front and rear diffs, if they are not the same, when running in 4wd, you run the risk of "binding" the drivetrain with the front and back wheels trying to run at different speeds, which would wreck something in short order. Might be cheaper to just find a newer quad with the features you want, less work, and set up to work correctly from the factory.

 

Make sure u get 1 with a diff lock,and check that the axles fit. let me how it turns out, my bro has a kodiak 400 but he needs a diff lock added to his
Good Luck

 

I'm just kind of thinking out loud. I've seen a few 2001 and newer complete Big Bear 400 4x4 front differentials which are selectable 2x4 to 4x4 on ebay and other classifieds. I wasn't sure if they would fit in my 2000 Big Bear 400 4x4. I should have bought the Warn 424 kit when it was available. I kept putting it off and then they stopped making them.
