Also keep in mind George is probably looking for something slightly different.
His setup was meant to originally use the 44-44 switch and his guts added to the 44-44 xfer case. Not quite the same as swapping out for a complete 44-45 switch and unit.
I still think the best test is to see how (if) the encoder motor positions change based on the Alfa settings. The only person that posted about trying the retrofit kit said the 44-45 switch did NOT resolve the "went into 4Lo now cant fully get back to 2WD" issue, so logic would say the 44-44 switch is probably fine but we need to tell the computer its a 44-45 so it knows where to move the encoder (which is why I asked if we knew how the 44-45 reacted when connected to the 44-44 switch)
SIDE NOTE: Im not sure how everyone was determining the truck never got back into 2WD, but if it was the front driveshaft spinning as the indicator, the front driveshaft on my truck spins even in 2WD from day 1. I believe its normal operation.
