P1000 I4wd by pass question

[Bigmanlittlebuggy]

Hello everyone long time no see was wondering if anyone has successfully installed the i4wd by pass switch in the p1k limited or can you even do it? Also has anybody installed the torque master locker? Any help is appreciated thanks updated pic of my ride attached for fun

Haven't hears of either. Well, outside of that one company promising unicorn parts upgrades.

Pioneer doesn't need the i4wd override.
Talon 4x4 is electronically controlled. Pioneer is manual cable operated.
When a Talon loses i4wd, sometimes they are stuck in 2x4. Pioneer will keep 4x4 irrelevant to the i4wd status because it's manual.
So for a Pioneer, you dont need a "override" you just need a "disable". It could be done by killing the engagement sensor line or fuse.

Are you saying if I put a switch inline with the I-4wd fuse I can disable the I-4wd to make it full-time 4wd?

it it woud be 3x4 actually. Not sure why anyone would want to do that.

But would be best to switch the 4x4 "on" sensor line so the machine doest turn on the i4wd.

Pulling the fuse may throw a i4wd error light. But shouldn't have any side effects other than to say "hey" i4wd is not working.

Talon is electronic engagement. That's mostly what the i4wd override does. Turns on the front diff electronically. if i4wd fails on a talon, sometimes it forces you to be stuck in 2x4 without the override.

Pioneer is cable operated manual. 4x4 (3x4) will work even if the i4wd system fails completely. No way it can lock you out without a broken part.

I would just like the option to turn it off I run big tires and portals sometimes I feel like the i4wd fights me when I’m stuck more options I have to get out the better thanks for your help @Hondasxs

I had the same problem with I4wd when stuck in snow. The front wheel power seemed to switch from side to side just digging the front deeper and deeper until I was high centered. This past winter I found backing up in low range I would get double rooster tails coming from the front tires, that would suggest that I4wd wasn't doing its thing. The question I have is does low range affect the function of I4wd?

Interesting 🤔 I never thought of that might have to experiment a lil
