  1. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Yes, you flip the switch before engaging FWD, the relays "trick" the computer into seeing that the FAD is engaged, when it's not. The schematic is very simple, even for me! No codes no fooling with the phone just easy. I've used FWD and disabled FWD several times over the last few days. So far...
  2. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Back with an update. Finally installed the BD 2LO kit. The worst part by far was removing the trim panel behind the rear seat to access the DTCM, and yes a few mounts got broken. Went back in OK though. Even though the kit is for a 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 P/U it was plug and play for the 2021...
  3. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Hello, back again! Update, yes I'm stubborn, determined and have time to fool with this. So I found a topic on a Wrangler forum that showed a kit for Dodge RAM 1500 that would allow 2LO without codes etc. The company name is BD or Big Diesel out of BC Canada. I spoke with there techs and they...
  4. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    And as an anecdote, My first Jeep was a '47 CJ2A my Dad brought home from a farm auction. That one was about as basic as can be made. Kept that one as a toy for a long time. Then a '96 XJ two door 2.5/5spd that was not too perplexing. I put 300K on it then I bought this Gladiator which I put in...
  5. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Yes, but it would "preload" the scenario. Shouldn't need 4WD on the highway. When needing to crawl at the campground just shift to 4Lo FAD disabled. Once unlatched from trailer return to normal operation. ?.
  6. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Or I suppose I could disable the FAD and make the road trip, reactivate after I unhook. You've got me thinking....
  7. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Thanks, I'll try! Will it fulfill this scenario? Pulling into campground all systems normal. Find your lot, disable the FAD relatively quickly and crawl in in reverse? If it will do that I would be very interested.
  8. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Hi Rharr, thanks for the tip! That said I didn't understand much of it, my fault. I unfortunately fall into the "let the grandkids fix your phone" category!
  9. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Hello. Louis let me fill this in. The factory 3:73's made the Jeep nearly unusable when pulling the trailer. That is unless you like holding it in 2nd up to the higher registers to pull even the average hill here in WNC. This is not a race car and I am an old retired guy thats not interested in...
  10. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Thanks for your reply! You've saved me a lot of money, frustration and time! Yesterday I din't know I had a FAD. Now I've had a look and have found it! I am going by the dealership to do some research on the wiring. I am imagining that there is a switch somewhere around the lever that would give...
  11. Lock out hubs/front driveshaft install.

    Hello! I have a 2021 Sport with manual trans, 3.6 gas. I tow a cargo trailer convert that is 3300 Lbs, ready to go. Or at least enough for the first week! Soon after purchase I regeared the Jeep to 4:56. It has stock diameter tires. I replaced them with some an inch wider, not taller. This combo...
