He was talking about the non-push button xfer cases, not the tranny.

As far as I am aware, this mod will work for any Tacoma with the push-button 4x4 system, regardless of the tranny type.

There is another mod for two-low on non-push button 4x4 Tacoma's, but I am having a heck of a time finding the write up for it anywhere.

Find that writeup yet becuase I sure cant and would like it... even some info from an FSM would work for me.

Sweet, are there two wires there(blue plug)? I wonder what they both do or if its just like one hot one goes into the t-case switch and the other comes back out to signal the ADD, you think thats how it works?

Right, but you wouldnt need to switch it back. Really there would be no need to have it on unless you want 4wd otherwise you could leave it off all the time. If you had a switch that would engage 4wd without shifting the lever to engage the front driveshaft, like someone else said, then at road speed the diff would suddenly send power up to the driveshaft that isnt spinning and things would get an ugly jolt from engaging.

Non-push button

I have a manual t-case and the other day when I would pull it back into 4 HI could hear a click coming from a relay in the passenger side kickpanel. When I heard the click the light on the dash hadnt come on yet, becuase i wasnt moving, and so I figured the relay didnt turn the light on so it most likely is one that engages the ADD.

I opened up the panel and pulled out the relay... it took some testing but I found was I thought was the ground and I wired a switch into it. At first I had the wire sent over to the switch and then from the switch I grounded it to a nut by the steering column. Well that didnt work(there were blowing fuses and exlposions and fire coming from under the hood) and I guess it turns out the wire must not have exactly been a ground wire. The funny thing is I removed the relay opened it up and looked how every wire was cionnected and wrote down what I decided they were. I must have gotten the ground and the 12v activation wire mixed up.

So to make it work I undid the switch from the gounding nut I had set up and ran that wire back over to the wire I cut off the relay harness...

Bottom line : If you want to use the relay in the cab to control the ADD it can be done. the end
