Adding the manual 4x4 shifter?

[LovinPSDs]

Is it possible to add the manual floor shifter to a truck that has the automatic 4x4 switch? Also would want to just completely remove the auto switch.

AFAIK you'll need to get a manual shift T case then just punch the plate out of the floor & cut the carpet.

So the two T-cases are completely different?

 

[Cat_rebel]

All the research I've done points to that.

 

[LovinPSDs]

any idea what the two transfer cases are? I can't seem to find it...

My friend did this but in a 7.3. He just put the manual case in and cut out a hole.

I believe the 271 is a manual shift & the 273 is an electric.

If you can find a rolled xl it should have everything you need.

Not always true, I've seen electric 4x4s in XLs & manual 4x4s in XLTs & Lariats.

My 99 XLT has auto shift and my old Lariat had manual shift.

I would really like to have a manual shift but it will be one of those things I do because I'm bored and have nothing else to do or spend money on.

I am converting mine over to manual when i put it back together. Got stranded one time when i got stuck and the motor went out in the transfer case.

I have a 450 lariat with a manual t-case but I also have a 6 spd. I think all 6 spd came with manual t-case.

Cat was right, 271 is manual, 273 is electric.

i have an xlt auto with a manual case, my old boss had a loaded lariat auto with a manual case

I think all 6 spd came with manual t-case.

Not the case, my buddy had a 00 XLT 6sp with a electric t case. However his 02 lariat auto had a manual shift. I've seen quite a few electric t cases on ZF6 trucks.

I was thinking the 08 and up because the only manual t-case I've ever seen in an 08 is in 6 spd trucks

One of my old bosses owns an 08 F350 CCSB SRW King Ranch 6.4L with an auto & it has a manual shift T case. They are out there, uncommon but they do exist.

2 of The 2011 super duty xl work trucks my dad has are manual 4x4 with power locks and windows and then the truck he has with non power locks or windows has electronic 4 wheel drive

I'd to switch her out to the manual, what does that do for the hubs? Can you use the same ones just you'll always have to get out and lock them or how would that work?
