Re: [AMC-List] AMBASSADORS (now trucks)

A: The QT has ALL the power pass thru the chain. NP208 only uses the chain 
when the front axle is engaged. That's why it's my choice. Not made for 
street driving (in nice weather), but it's locked front and rear when I need 
it to be.
   As for the diesels, it's too bad they didn't use a 4L80. They used both 
the 4L60 and 4L60E same as GM trucks (at least all the ones I have seen. 
4L80 is rare and requires no external computer controller. The more common 
4L80E does and the diesels don't have the sensors needed)

iirc not a 700r4 but 4L80.
