Bob's 2WD low kit

[EricBu12]

just got the 2Wd low kit from Bob Verhoef... . Going to install it tomorrow. . Detailed instructions, looks like it will be pretty easy. .



Will update pics as I do it... . i tow a 36' trailer and I have a tight side yard to park it. Also it will help in locating the trailer in parks and such...

I have Bobs 2wd low kit & it sure is great for keeping those transmission temps down when backing up the 5vr. People are always asking what that red knob is for. I tell them it's the 007 oil slick release knob to get rid of tail gaters. :-laf

I sure like mine. I'm really going to need it after the SB Con OFE goes in this month



The hardest part of the install is removing the shifter console. Cutting the lines was a little scary for me, but I did it right, so no worries. Figure out where you are going to locate the switch. I wish it was lighted, but it's not electrical

Ok, Here it is..... Was Really easy to do.



Heres what the parts look like... .

Pull up the boot for the shifter,



#ad




Drill 3/8 hole and put in grommet in front of shifter hole...



#ad




Run hoses through the hole, I tagged which hose was which color on the lower ones...



#ad




Underneath, theres a connector on top of the trans-case and you hook the 3 hoses up acording to a diagram, and cover with a split loom... .



#ad




put the hoses through the rubber boot, hook the hoses to the switch, bolt to the shifter, and check..... Works like a charm!! Really slick!

Thanks Bob, this will really come in handy moving this thing around

An alternate switch location on standard transmission equipped second-generation Rams places the valve inside the floor console. Little more than the 2-lo control knob is exposed in the cab of my BobV 2-lo equipped Ram.
