Hello Everyone,

I remember seeing a way to run a 4 wd in 2 wd low. Ive searched and cant find one. If this is possible can someone point my in the right direction.

Thanks, Richard

If you have 4x4 on the floor you can just don't lock your hubs in. I do know that but if there is a way to do it with the electric 4x4 idk

The best way to do it is by swapping to manual hubs. If you want to keep the auto hubs, there is a solenoid on the passenger fender that controls vacuum to the hubs. Put a switch on it and the hubs won't engage.

Thanks for the help guys. Since I have factory hubs I plan to control it on upfitter switch #4. Thanks again!

in my opinion depending on how much snow you see i would switch to warn premiums, my autos went out about 3 years ago and we had a foot of snow in NE and found out my lines froze up and had to floor it in 2wd the whole time! it sucked!

Thanks! Would I have to replace just the hubs or will I have to replace the whole vacume bearing assembly with something like the Dynatrac? My truck carries alot of wieght on it so I would like to be able to use 4x4 low gears on hard dirt roads and pavement without the fronts turning depending on conditions. However reliable 4x4 is very important to me as I use it often. Is the warn stronger than the factory hub? When my vacume pump went out I was able to lock the factory hubs and use the 4x4.I hunt up by you in SD every Nov.

Thanks for everyones help

You could go either route. Warn make a direct replacement lockout that keeps the stock unitbearings. Dynatrac makes a kit that replaces the unitbearings and uses a larger 35 spline Warn or Dynatrac lockout. Either way, it will be more reliable than the stock plastic hubs. As for the vacuum system, it will still be used by the vent controls. When I put a Dynatrac kit on, I capped the holes at the axle and removed the excess line to prevent leaks.
