I've come to regret not getting the automatic transfer case due to the stupid floor console that won't hold a drink properly. What would be involved in converting from manual to auto? Thanks

 

Sorry can't help with an actual conversion. Check this at Geno's, http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....UP-SMOOTHIE-03

 

Is it possible? Yes, by switching to the electrically or vacuum operated "push button" transfer cases, but: WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO? You'd trade a simple, tried and true method of switching your truck into 4WD for a crappy, more complex, "more stuff to go wrong" way of going into 4WD? No thanks. I'll take my shifter, and I know when it's in, and when it's out. Automatic systems will inevitably leave you stranded when you need 'em.

Keep what 'cha got, buy a drink holder.

 

My coffee mig fits in the big hole and soft drinks fit in the smaller ones with no problem for me. I much prefer the manual shifter in my new truck to the automatic one that was in my 06

 

I've got the switch in mine and have had no problems. There is a thread in here some where and IIRC everyone with the switch was just as happy as the ones with the lever. Most complaints came from the lever users.
For me, it was a wash either way. All I wanted was a 6 speed and didn't care if it had the t-case lever or switch.

 

I agree!!! When you need it all you have to do is ease up on the go pedal, reach down, yank back, and slam it to the floor. You know its in and dont have to wait for the computer to figure out if its 'safe' to do it. If it can go it will. I cant think of all the times I have needed it on the fly. (I hate using 4x4 even when i really should)

 

best $$$ spent on my truck ever!!!

 

I'm not thrilled with my switch (****) 4x4 either. I'm in and out of 4x4 a lot around the farm. I've had the truck for quite awhile and still get a little confused on how to get it into 4x4 when I need it now. I've turned up my fan in a panic, sucks.

 

come to albuquerque and we can swap! i would love to have the manual t case!
