shift on the fly electronic crap
anybody ever taken a truck that came as an electonic shift on the fly and put in a leaver to enguage 4X4?
how hard is it. Are they to different of a transfer case or is it just cut the whole in the floor board and add linkage?
I've got an automatic if it makes any differece
This **** on the dash gotta go

it doesnt look that hard to do. on the manual-shifting trucks there is just a linkage on an arm that goes up into more linkage and then in the cab. i would get the assembly from a wrecked truck, and pull out whatever you need. im sure the arm that goes onto the transfercase out to the hand lever will need to be salvaged. i also want mine to go also, it sucks in the snow.

Manual shift is a NV271, electric shift case is the NV273. You can interchange the two and add the appropriate linkage, but you cannot convert a 273 to a 271.
EDIT: I suppose you could convert it, but the manual shift case has a couple of support bearings on the sector shaft that the electric unit doesn't need, so you may have to split the case to add them.

As far as the bearings that Cookie88 mentions I have no idea which ones are the correct ones, but with a little study you could find out the difference.
If this is something that you are thinking you would want to do, it's just as easy as pulling your turbo and dissassembling that, just ten times as big and heavy.
You can pull the transfer case in less than one hour, you don't even need to remove the crossmember. Drop the driveline, disconnect the linkage, remove the four bolts holding the case to the trans and it's out. You don't even need a jack, just manhandle it down.
You most likely saw this thread, but here's a link so you can see some pictures.
BTW I still have the diagrams that Touch of Gray sent me, if you want them I'll send them.

Kory,
Thanks for the info. The problem i'm having is when i turn the **** nothing happens. I've crawled under the truck and tried to listen to the motor on the side of the transfer case and don't hear it enguage or the selinoids click. the 4X4 light will not come on the dash. some times it will ...........some times it won't ........but when i need it ...........it wont enguage
Cookie,Kwik

what would be the result of adding the linkage without the support bearings? is there a seal inside the transfer case that would be damages or are the supports for the case its self?
Thanks Cookie

have you checked the relays to see if they're bad. there are two relays under the hood on the drivers side near the firewall. i just had a truck with the same problem and after hours of trouble shooting it ended up being a relay that had coroded due to what appeared to be excessive water damage. out of town right now and don't have my truck to check exactly which relay is s but there are two of them side by side
