Good point, I never thought of that scenario, having to take it out of 4x4 in the middle of the mission

Here's a good question: On ESOF vehicles, is there a hole in the floor for the transfer case stick, and if so, can one be hooked up to the ESOF transfer case without a problem? Or is the transfer case different too?

I'm actually thinking about converting mine if I buy it after the lease is up in 2 years.

1999 F-250 Super Duty that turned 195,000 miles today and shift-on-the-fly equipped. Never a problem, except with the hubs losing vacuum seal around 100,000 miles. Replaced the seals and it worked fine again. Otherwise I had to manually lock the hubs for 4WD to function.

A nice convenience........

The trans went out at 118,000 miles, replaced the ball joints, one front hub, alternator and power steering pump between then and now. other than that it has been reliable and headache-free.
