Low range switch

Does anyone know if the low range input to the PCM is active in a 4X2 truck, or will I have to swap PCM to get the low range shift points right?

The PCM doesn't know anything about low/hi range. Neither does the transmission.

Yes.
Its pin #14 to access 4X4 low shift schedule.
It just has to be a auto trans pcm code.
Handshaker pcm will not have it.

Thanks MADVAN!

I didn't figure it would be needed with the handshaker...

I still second guess just going to a handshaker, but I'm going down the E4OD 4X4 route.
