Default Converting AWD t-case to RWD only???

I Know Someone Has Done This On Here Before And Need To Know How To Do It. I Can Pick Up A T-case Cheap And Mod It To Make It Work If It Is Possible. This Is For Tuning Reasons, My Truck Does Not Fit On Any Awd Dynos, Too Long Of A Wheel Base.

04Denali (Mark) had one modified to dyno his '04 Denali. I believe Senergy done or had it done for him. I believe there is mention of it here: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...light=04denali

Another option might be to swap in a part time non electric 4x4 Tcase out of a truck, lock it in 2wd, and leave the front driveline out. You might need the rear driveline out of a tahoe, swap shouldn't take more than an hour or two.

If you break the t-case, might be worth ditching the 4l65 and putting in a 2wd 4l80. Im sure there are some buyers for your leftovers...

Like mentioned if your that worried buy a floor shift t case and put it in, just select 2wd when your under the truck. AFAIK they are the same length as an awd case.
