I just picked up a new to me 96 t-100 4x4. (3.4l & auto trans)
The truck has a few problems, one being it will not engage into 4x4.
After a lot of research, it seems most likely to be the actuator, ADD relay or ADD switch.
I really do not like the ideal of ADD (Automatic Differential Disconnect). It works on vacuum lines and electronics. I would much rather have manual hubs.
After even more research I came across this article to completely bypass the ADD (Automatic Differential Disconnect) system.

It seems just a little too good to be true.
Has anyone here actually done this? Anyone have an opinion?
I guess my main questions are:
1. does it work as it should?
2. Do the dash lights still show "4x4 on"?
3. Any real downside?
Thanks in advance,
K
