Well it won't just bolt in.

Even a Ranger t-case won't just bolt to your 2wd trans and make it a 4x4.

Where are you located? Maybe someone around you will have a Ranger t-case they are willing to trade for an F-150 unit. I have an e-shift case I'd trade for an F-150 case, but I won't screw with shipping them.

In your case you need a different trans. You have an FM132, the 4x4 version would be a 145. I don't know that a 132 can be converted.

On the M5OD, and most transmissions, you can put the longer version of the output shaft in, bolt the extension housing on in place of the tail stock, and bingo bango, 4x4 transmission.

In your case I don't know if it is possible or not. I am not well versed in the internals of the FM transmissions and so I don't know if there are other differences between the FM132 and 145 that would cause problems.

You are better off in the long run to just find an M5OD anyway. It is a far superior transmission.

Actually the 4x4 version of an FM132 is an FM146.
