4x4 transfer case
Is it possible to mod the transfer case so that when you have the 4x4 in low or hi it is in full time not part time like it is stock now.

well, as long as you keep it in 4x4 it's full time, but on an asymetric 4x4 system, it's bad for it to drive in 4x4 all the time, plus having it in 4x4 will make your front wheels bind when turning

In part time your t-case has a 50/50 split for torque front and rear in full time you have a differential that splits the torque so you never get a true split. This is why full time, also know as all wheel drive, can be used on the street and part time can't.

it's also very common for the vacuum lines or diaphragm on the central axle disconnect to fail, that's why my front axle doesnt engage, you can buy a cable operated kit for around 200, or build one for around 50
