As for wiring: only thing needed is to extend the iac pig tail, and extend the iat sesnor to monitor manifold boost temps instead of iats.
I remember reading something interesting that the people doing the first swaps over 10 years without tunes would use the Lightnjng ecu and harness-all said and done, the 4x4 would work but the 4 LOW didnt I read another swap on YouTube where the owner used his pcm with a tune and his 4 LOW didn't work as well.

Good thing mine is a floor shift. I won't have that problem.

My 4 low works fine. It's in the PCM. 4 hi is controlled by gem.

Esof 4hi can engage during moving so it's not governed entirely by the PCM. 4lo has to be due to when it is able to actuate the t case. I have a schematic if anyone needs it.

Actually all 4wd functions are controlled via the GEM. 4 low is a programming exception where the PCM tells the GEM that the transmission is in neutral.

As stated above lol. So yes anyone with a L PCM can run 4hi with no issues.
