WOW! Wish I seen this 4 years ago. Looks like this summer I have a new mod to do.

Thank you very much.

No prob. When i had my SOHC ex, i was going to do this, but i sold it and got a 5.0. So this summer, im swaping the AWD case for a BW 4406 Manual t case, 2 high, 2 low, 4 high 4 low!

Ok so i have another question will it work if u just remove the transfer case fuse? also i read on the transfer case isnt designed to allow unlimited wheelspin will i still beable to spin the tires and do burnouts just not for an extended period of time?

With the browm wire mod. Yes, you can. You can do burn outs, but you cant sit there and roast through tires after tires. But yes, the brown wire mod is designed to let you have true 2WD. I wouldnt pull the fuse, because its not a good idea if you need 4wd to put it back in. I would recomend the brown wire mod.

Is there a way to install a new transfer case that has 2wd 4hi and 4lo?

Yea, the one you have in there. There is nothing wrong with that transfer case. If you just do the brown wire mod youll be fine. If you plan on roasting the tires anyway, i would recomend just going 2wd and ditch the front axel all together. Just do the brown wire mod. It will get you, 2 hi, 2 LOW, 4 hi and 4 low.
