94bronco Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wish Ford would revisit offering the manual transfer case across the Super Duty lineup. Since 2011 it is only offered up to XLT trim level, really would have liked it in my Lariat as Electronic Shift on Fly is just something else to break.

YT90SC Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 You don't want the current manual transfer case anyway. They are MSOS (manual shift on STOP)- no longer shift on the fly. Shift your automatic through the ranges once a month - through low and back - and you will rarely have an issue with the motor. Hublock overrides allow you to get the hubs locked even if the PVH feature fails. Usually if the PVH fails you need something else fixed anyway like wheel bearings or ball joints taking out the vacuum seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1FordFan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I know some want that manual linkage so they can be towed 4 down. I'd just find all the manual linkage parts in a parts yard and make your Lariat the way You want it. Hope you don't have swap the entire T case as well. .

YT90SC Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's not that easy. First the linkage has nothing to bolt to. The cam in the t-case isnt drilled to accept the lever from the MSOS setup. The linkage is also setup differently than the encoder shift motor. The PCM MUST have 4x4 status available. No encoder shift motor, no status. Transmission shift scheduling in 4x4 low could possibly lead to driveline damage without the input. Fault messages in the cluster would drive you batty too. If you want to flat tow, there are kits available to do so with the ESOF intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94bronco Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Good to know that it is not shift on the fly anymore. I swear Ford doesn't want to offer the Manual set up anymore and is pushing us all to the Electronic. Nothing to do with flat towing for me, I just always liked the manual set up that is bulletproof compared to an electronic setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
