I have a 2000 eddie bauer 4x4 it has the awd system in it and I dont like it . Is there any way to make a swap with a F150 and make it 2wd when I want .I like to play like everyone else and the auto lock kind of prevents that .

You can do what is call the "Brown Wire Mod" to keep it in 2wd. If you do a search on this site you will find it. I did it and have a switch to diable and enable the AWD. The 4LO and 4HI still works when selected.
