Transmission Selector

[tom Fenwick]

i currently have a 2014 1500 with the 8 speed transmission. The selector currently doesn’t have the option for auto 4x4. I recently came across a 2018 bezel and the selector on that has the auto 4x4 option. Can I use that with my current transmission or is that not possible .

Is your truck 4wd or RWD?

From a post in there:
"If you don't have the Auto 4X4 button, you have the Borg Warner 44-45 part time transfer case. The front shaft is not connected via a clutch pack like the 44-44."

Yep, you don't have the correct equipment for the Auto 4x4...sorry

And its the transfer case, not the transmission, that the selector controls.... in case it makes any difference.

as long as you are not on dry pavement you can leave it in 4hi if needed and it wont case any damage.

As stated above your truck is not capable of 4 X4 Auto and it's actually good that it isn't. The 44-45 transfer case in your truck works much better than the 44-44 auto T case. That is why the Rebel and the Outdoorsman all offer the same T case that comes in your truck. There are many members that would love to be able to figure out how to run the manual 44-45 transfer case in their trucks originally equipped with the 44-44 Auto function transfer case.
