I already know how much easier it is backing up the trailer, I've been disconnecting the solenoid as where I park it there's a really steep incline & although the truck will do it, it means hitting a lot of revs (stock converter) to get it to move then because it's on gravel it sometimes spins the tyres, in low it just creeps along at idle. It will save my old weary legs from having to jump in & out of the cab & I'll be using it pretty much every time I have to manoeuvre now 😎

Even better news then! You know what to expect and are already happy with how well the 2WD Lo mod works. This mod has saved my wife and I many "disagreements" when backing our 5th wheel. Especially at a campground while some of the onlookers are waiting for us to screw up.

I just pop it into 4x4 low with the switch set to manual hubs and back the trailer up like we were born to do it.

I am very glad you got it working, it really bothered me that you were having such trouble with it.
