We have the matching gear sets on order with Dana, with etas. We will post updates as soon as we have firm shipping information! The stock front drive shaft can be used
Yes, you will need a new, shorter, drive shaft as the input on the 210 is closer to the transfer case than the 190.
Well now I need to follow up with our guys at Dana. It was presented that there is a difference, but was within travel limits of the factory shaft. We will get that information and have it added to our site. Thank you for the feedback!
I'm close to 1000 miles on a m210 swap with a factory m190 driveshaft and no issues so far. I think it was originally thought we'd need a new one but it is within the range of travel as a few of us have found out. Can't hurt to verify with Dana for peace of mind
I know when I did mine the shafts were roughly 2" in length differences with the M210 being the shorter one.
How about the computer fix for the FAD delete? I don’t want to rig up my old FAD to get 4WD to work.
wow really? That's kinda concerning me lol I'm just going off feel and what it was like when I pulled it apart. My m190 driveshaft barely cleared the driveshaft flange with the m190 fdu in place and I'd say it was 1/8" or less from clearing with the m210 bolted in. I had to break the mount bolts loose and rock it up a little bit and it slipped together.
The Ford Procal tune takes care of the FAD delete now, when you update the device it asks you if you've done an axle swap and will download additional data to flash the dlcm. It was fairly straightforward
How did you go about hooking up the locker?
Lol long story short I've been trying to get my FDU warrantied for almost 2 weeks because they shipped it with a defective locker. I have no resistance between the two pins. Thought it was an issue on my end at first but I've checked and double checked everything. I have 12v at the plug and it pops a fuse as soon as it's plugged in.
So yours came with a harness? The reason I'm asking is I got mine from a doner vehicle and Ford wants $100 for that pig tail, 4" of wire and plug. I ended up buying the harness and SIMA/hero switch from a Sasquatch Big Bend VIN. Hopefully I'll be able to integrate it like that factory has it.
no mine didn't and ford performance was no help there either lol here's the correct connector but it's still only 4" of wire.
I am sorry I missed this earlier, we'll have a pigtail available from Dana, which should be on the site soon. We will list them as soon as they get in stock.

it is expensive for what it is, this was the cheapest I could find. And according to the wire diagrams I downloaded the sima switch is just canbus. So it should swap out and then just be a matter of programming/adding the right wires to the right modules. The awd module gets signal from the gateway module and controls the tcase position switch, both lockers, and the fad unit on models with fad. I can't find a pin out diagram for the awd module but best case we would just have to figure out the pinout for the front locker and add pins to the harness. I do believe the awd modules are the same model to model minus prorgramming.
The latter. I bought the Hero switches and the harness for my BD and thought through Forscan that I could get it all to work but no go. I'm sure some smarter people could get it going like factory but not me. Hopefully in the future like the 3.0 rack. I ended up cutting the harness I bought and wiring it up to Aux 6.
