What year is your truck? You need a vacuum switch is all to have 2 wheel low, if you have the vacuum disconnect on the axle.



Here is a starting point

I searched some old threads and found the Bob Verhoef switch. Does anyone know how I can contact him directly?

Here ya go!

Here is some install specs and Bob V's contact info.



Sounds like a good thing to have ... now I'm interested.

I purchased the solenoid from www.eaglecontrols.com it is a Numatics L01SA459B. This is a very small 12v solenoid that is used with a lot of the exhaust brakes.

To install, find the vacuum line header along the top of the fire wall just above the fuel filter. You will find a vacuum line going down to the transfer case. All you have to do is place the solenoid in this line, which when activated will block the vacuum from going to another solenoid that is activated when you pull the transfer case shifter in.

So when you have it installed, you turn the solenoid on, and then pull the shifter in, and walla!!

It works very well when backing a heavy load, or when you want to creep over rough terrain, and don't need 4x4.

I hope this is at least clear as mud! It's really pretty simple.

I got Bob V's super shifter kit, so the switch for my 2WL and my e-brake are both on the shift knob.



I don't know enough superlatives to say how happy I am with it.
