Does any one know any thing about putting dual transfer leavers in a sierra so you can get 2WD low range?

This link will take you to a write up on iZook for Twin Sticks.

There are also ways of removing the ball in the selector forks so that you can engage a 2wd low, RRO offer this as an option on some of their cases.

Here is an old write up on iZook

why not just stick it into low and leave the hubs unlocked?

Presuming that you're off road and your hubs are locked already, if they were un locked you could just select 4WD low range and would have drive only to the rear.

So, yes, it would involve getting out.

Yes but you would use it when on-road ie towing a boat up a ramp or somthing sort of steep hill that needs the power aposed to traction you wouldnt use 2wd low off-road unless you f***** ur front diff

If it were required for on road duties why would you even ask for a twin stick. You'd just put it in 4WD low with unlocked front hubs. This will drive the rear in low range and spin the front driveshaft but not drive the front wheels.

And yes, i use 2WD low off road, it can actually be quite handy.

i use 2wd low rear alot

for your average tracks u might not need it but when u start doin tighter technical tracks it is very handy

i had the 2wdlow mod with one stick and it was terrible

to hard to find the right gear
and always getting jammed

now with the 2 sticks i push or pull them forward easy as pie
and definatly know what gear i am in
and it is a fairly easy mod to make the 2 sticks work

Does this mean by having twin sticks, one selects hi/lo, the other selects where the drive is sent, does this mean you could theoretically get front wheel drive only in hi/lo as well. Have not yet checked posted sites. If this says something about it, just pretend I wrote nothing!!! :oops: :oops: :oops:

nah, no 'front drive' .one stick selects 'hi' 'N' 'low' , and the other selects '2wd' & '4wd' only '2wd rear low' and 4wd can be selected.
sorry if its confusing...

I have twin sticks in mine and the only bad point I have is they are very hard to seal when you are upside down. a litre of oil ends everywhere. Other than that they are great.

I have seen a twin stick boot that will fit a Suzi but I didn't get the link.
Here's a link showing a Jeep Dana 30 boot. Don't think it seals the transfer though, only the floor.

I have a duel lever boot on the floor. I think it was out of a pajero or sothing its the small one into the case I can't seal.

im thinking this would be a good mod for anyone
that has lockrites or welded front diffs, corner comes,
push it into 2wd, turning problem solved!

Sorry spike it don't work like that. The front wheels are still locked together they just arn't getting any drive

Could you change on the fly? I wouldn't have thought that would be possible without syncros which I didn't think a transfer had.

high to low no
2 to 4 id say you could

not stirring the pot, but if you war very careful and smooth you can get from high to low on the move, but there has to be NO load on the case- flat ground, dip the clutch at about walking pace, and it MIGHT go in.

If you have reduction gears the speed difference is huge and it is very hard to get it to work.

Because it can't be done under any load it's pretty pointless anyway.

2WD to 4WD is no problem on the move.

Iv'e done the low 2 mod to my selector shaft with one shifter and it turn shitloads better even with the front detriot in 2wd low , it would almost be 1/3 less turning circle , when there is no drive the detroit unlocks , Cheers Paul.
