I believe the trannys are the same except for the longer output shaft in the 4X4 tranny.

From what Ive read they are not interchangeable... EX: you cant pull the tailcone off of a 2wd trans and bolt a tcase up to it.
The 2wd output shaft is like 8" longer than the 4wd... Of course, this can be changed but you have to totally tear the trans apart.

Even if you are comparing 4wd AW4 to 4wd AW4 there are differences. Early AW4's were 21 spline output vs later 23 spline. Also the early years have different connectors for the wire harness vs newer years. Inside the case they are the same.
