Finally got the second t-case shifter vetted and installed. Required a little trans pan trimming but not bad. It'll be nice to have HI range available. Also, low range front dig now possible.

do you need a data package to run the maplets or do you just use a external gps antenna

While at Rausch last weekend, the shift rail cap popped off and drained nearly all of my t-case on Shoot the Moon. I am now hypothesizing that it occurred because of hydraulic pressure. The caps fill with fluid and then when shifting, the fluid cannot exit the cap fast enough and it gets pushed out. While it may not pop off on the first shift, it likely loosened it to the point that another shift or hard bump may eject the cap. This wouldn't occur if the Dana 300 wasn't upside down because no fluid would settle or drain into the caps.

Here is my quick and dirty solution

It works without any external antenna or data.

On a better note, HI range is wonderful! Can't wait to see what it's like on the road at 55mph. It'll need sway bars or a bit of shock adjustment though.

I'm good at wiring. I don't think I'll get to help you! Haha

 I offered to help you with engine wiring and you declined!

Thanks guys! I do appreciate the offers.

It'll be "done" by loading time tomorrow evening. It really isn't that bad and I'm just whining. Besides, we all have to do things we don't enjoy every now and then...
