Retain Push Button D/R Swap

Featured Replies

So I'm coming up on my Dual range Swap, done the research, looks rather straight forward.  Getting the trans from a junk yard so i was planning on making my own linkage for the low range.  Question is can i keep the push button vacuum actuator to select 2wd/4wd and just fab a second lever for Low range? (plus there some custom cup holders where the extra shiftier would go)  :brow:

What would really be neat is a second button and second vacuum actuator for low range... then you could theoretically use low range in FWD.

Thats what i was thinking,... the question being.... getting the vacuum cans arranged so that they function correctly.  Should just be another 4wd vac can and a couple of duty solenoids right? i want the 2LOW for situations like sitting in traffic and what not.

I know someone made a twin stick 4WD dual range before, but I forget who it was (and they used shifters not the vacuum cans)

Well the plan is the vacuum cans. Hopefully it works because that would be rather slick. I'll take some pics along the way
