GM makes hte best conversion. Swap the t-case out for a NP 231c. It can be found at oyur local salvage yard. Cut a hole int eh floor and your ready to go, you will have to do something with the puter on your truck though. It will look for the t-case unless you get the puter reprogrammed.

You can always create your own lever with a wrench and some welding...the 233 can be manually shifted too. Then either buy the posi-lock cable for the front axle, or swap in the Bravada 1 piece passenger side front axle shaft for the cheap $$

Thanks for the replys and ideas!! I read ZR2 USA's thread and got the idea..but would a cable work better than a vaccumn selinoid for the front end?? and where would you hook the cable? TR

The best would be swapping out the passenger side front axle shaft with one from a Bravada...then your front axle is engaged all the time...also they can be found for ~$60.

if you want to go the cable to replace the vacuum actuator route one of our members made up a nice detailed how to for it (mysons95) here is the link http://diamond.site90.com/html/actuator.html
