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.

 

I agree I just bought a 2003 f-350 last night and it has that damn turney **** bull%&@# and I can't even get into 4 low. Do you do it just like a floor shift, truck stoped in netural turn **** to 4 low?

 

stopped. neutral, foot on brake, 4 low.

 

oh yea just tried it and it worked this time. We'll see if it does when I really need it. I wasn't on the brake beforjust not moving and in neutral that must have been it.
