NNBS Sierra WT electric 4x4 conversion?

[zif0684]

2011 Sierra WT, 4x4 is manual shift on the floor. Is it possible to swap out the appropriate swtiches, actuators, etc and convert it to electronic shift?

You need a new t-case, probably a new body harness and tons of other stuff. I'd honestly keep the manual setup or trade the truck for one that has the electronic setup.

Man, aside from the auto mode to keep your posi rear from spinning out in the rain, I would trade the electric motor for manual any day. That electric motor is a pain to keep replacing. I saw a guy call it the "push and pray 4X4" on an S10 forum, same motors. Connectors get corroded, just a mess.

I haven't heard of any issues with the electric 4x4 in the 900s. I know the 800s had bad switch panels as a fairly common issue but nothing yet with the current generation. My 2003 1500 had a manual t-case and I hated it. Shifting when moving was next to impossible even though it was supposed to be shift on the fly.
