Has anyone or is it possible to change the transfer case control from the floor mounted manual shifter to the electric one on the dash? I have a 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi.

Why the hell would you want to do that? lol I wish they never would have went to the electronic switch on the dash. There's something kinda nice about being able to reach down and instantly have it engaged, opposed to it engaging when the truck gets around to it.

Yeah that is a good point. I guess I was think more about a center console but I do like have a more reactive transfer case. But I did do a little research and it seams like it is a different transfer case and not just the mode of shifting.

You need to start with a complete new transfer case, I think the axle disconnects as well. On top of that programming the truck to recognize the switch and its functions. I think you are better off with the manual shifter, I cant think of any reason to go backwards.

Agree with above, stick with the manual shifter.
