Air Shift conversion?? Possible??

[vinny-socom1]

I'll start this out as don't ask why I want to but can it be done? I just like how my duce was able to engage the front axle by flipping a switch . I'm wondering if you can bypass the transmission air acuator and install an air shift switch, in other wards be able to shift the front axle in & out when you want not only in 1st & reverse. any help??

in the 5ts, the front wheel drive will come in in any gear if the rears slip, the trans air switches just put it in forward or reverse sprage, you do have the option of shutting off the air which will put the sprag in neutral, then no front wheel drive. think of the 5t front wheel drive as a automatic front wheel drive that works when the truck calls for it, stora like a posi rear in your pu.

the air shift duece basicly have a air shifted in and out clutch, the 5t always has a constent running over run clutch
so to answer your question, NO

I just recently asked the same question. Within the last week. Just go back and serch the threads and you will find your answer.

OK well I think that answers it? I just can't figure out why you would want to wait for the front axle to engage after your already slipping?? does that make any sense??

desertfox- I was asking about air shift conversion in a 5 ton truck

if the sprag is working right, you wont even notice the rear slip, it will come so quick
