Exclamation 4x4 electric shift to manual shift

how hard is it to convert my electric shift 4x4 to a manual floor shift, i just dont trust it, my 88 was a floor shift with manual hubs, and i liked knowing it was in and not relying on a switch and alight bulb when im in the snow

I wish I could give you the info you need. When I bought my truck, I was happy with everything except the manual 4x4 system. When a several friends who have psds told me I did well, I wasn't sure I believed them but I do now. Everone I know who has an ESOF is not happy with it.

Having said that, I know the hub locks are easily replaced. It is the transfer case that will put the juju on you. I believe most simply replace the hub locks with manuals and use the switch. The transfer case does not present near as many probs as the hubs.
