GEM

Is it possible to bypass the GEM module and power the 2w/4w selector switch from a different source on a 2001 f-250 super crew so it will switch from 2w to 4w ?

The gem controls other parts also on the truck so I would say no......

First question is why?

Yes. You could unplug the shift motor and power it using your own switch.

However truck would not like it to much as the 4wd lights would flash
