You have been very politely told that it's fcking stupid to even consider. There is no way to "switch" this t-case to 2 wheel drive. There are no mechanisms in our t-cases to disengage either output shaft. It's that simple.

What fuel savings do you think you would achieve anyway? The difference in fuel savings between identical trucks less one being 2wd and the other being 4wd is barely recognizable and sometimes is lost just due to gearing. Why on earth would one think that reducing the H2 from full-time 4wd to a 2wd vehicle amount to better fuel economy? It would still be shaped the same, weigh the same and still have the same friction associated with the drivetrain.

The H2 is shaped like a brick, weighs 7K lbs, and is not made to achieve good fuel mileage. If the mileage bothers you that much, drive another vehicle.
