Looks good lieutenant Dan, those cylinders are stronger than you would think. That's why I cut pressure down, also it will help slow the action of the cylinder down a bit. If you had full 120 psi it would try to shift the transfer case to fast and most likely break something. Those cylinders...
it's all made to work together so it's simple once you have it in front of you and like I said you can bench test it while drinking a couple cold ones..:beer:
When I get a chance (and figure out how to post it) I will upload a video.
Well i'm not exactly sure how your valves work but my set up didn't work either until it was completely hooked up. It does rely on feed back pressure to change state of the slave valve. These are the parts I used, right from a heavy truck parts place.

Yeah, I don't see why not. Their is more that one way to do this. Go for it. You can bench test it with a 5 gallon portable air tank. That's how I figured out my set up before I mounted anything.
Yes, the slave valve switches the supply air pressure based on the pilot pressure from the range switch. In high range the pressure goes to one end of the cylinder and in low range it switches to the other end of the cylinder, the exhaust pressure goes out of the range switch.
Hello, just thought I would try to add to this thread as I have added a air Hi/Low range set up and it has worked great. It cost me less that $150. It is a old school range selector and the slave valve. I used a 2 way air cylinder to just actuate the transfer case lever. Cut supply pressure down...
