ok well i decided to finally pull my transmission outta my truck yesterday and remembered reading something about 2lo on a stock transfer case... so before i worked on taking out my tranny i decided to make the 2 lo work.
This is an EASY mod and can be done in about an hour and a half if your drinking and being lazy (I was it can probably be done in under an hour if your arnt looking for stuff and your skid plate comes off without giving issues.) that includes disassemble and re assemble.
here is what you start with
ok first get the shifter boot outta the way by removing the 4 10mm bolts holding it down.
next pull the boot back and outta the way. or you can unscrew the shift knob and take it all the way off turn the shift knob CCW (as if you didnt already know) and the boot then slides right off.
ok next there are 2 bolts that need to be removed to get the bracket out and off of the transmission.
one right up on top. is a 12mm.
and another under the truck (i had my skidplate off makes it SOOOO much easier but can be done with it on)
this was also a 12mm bolt head. (both were the same size)
ok now you have your bracket that has a little tab on it on the upper left side. (sorry i had already cut mine when i decided to make a tech outta it) but here ya go anyway
now you dont have to cut the bracket you can actually just remove it but it adds some structural support for the "rod" that the shifter rides on, so i cut mine so i could re-install it.
here is a after shot of the piece
ok now your done and can now go from 2wd HI to 2wd LO by moving shifter to right
you can also go from 4wd LO to 2wd LO by simply pushing shifter straight up.
told ya easy huh?
EDIT: Thought id add 1 more picture as it shows what the linckage looks like before cut.
