2wd low?
OK, I used to have a 2004 F250 diesel and had read several times that there was a mod you could to that would let you go into 2WD LOW. I was wandering if anyone had done this with an F150. I'm assuming your just keeping the hubs from locking in when you select 4WD LOW.

What a coinky-dink. There's a thread in SuperDuty about this very thing. Sure could be a handy thing to have for backing a trailer.
Here's a link to that other thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...eel-drive.html

it would be really easy to fab up...problem is the PCM might be smart enough to figure out what you did.
basically just need a hot wire & switch that runs to the IWE Vacuum solenoid wire.
I'm curious as to whether the PCM has a sensor that determines if the IWE is engaged/disengaged...or if that IWE Vacuum Solenoid is on/off

when you switch to 4x4, the IWE Vacuum Solenoid gets de-energized and breaks the vacuum at the IWE's
so if you ran a hot wire and seperately energized that solenoid...vacuum should be re-applied to the IWE's and then you would be in 4x2 LOW...with a spinning front driveshaft
