My friend has a beater diesel shop truck that he wants me to fix. Somehow they managed to break the engine cross member that carries the coil buckets. Should I convert it to 4WD, or repair/replace the 2WD crossmember? Is the crossmember riveted on? Is this part available from the dealer, or junkyards only? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

depending on year there was a recall for 94+ 2 or 4 wd for crossmember and coil bucket failure
