P1000 i4wd

[CougarCountryClan]

I've got a deluxe 10005 with upgrades. I really want the i4wd feature of the Le. Short of selling my Deluxe and purchasing a Le and being out a bunch. Anyone know if it is possible to get i4wd upgraded on a deluxe?

Short answer is no feasible way in time or money to upgrade. The front and rear differentials are much larger will electronic speed sensors at each axle output, then there is the completely different braking system as well as the electronics to control it all (wiring harness, ECM). Finally then you would likely have to swap out the dash and drive mode selector controls for it to work properly.

I have a 2016 P1K5D and a 2018 P1K5LE with over 2000 miles on each. I would and do pick the LE over the other to drive every time.

The I-4WD does really well and has been trouble free, in addition the Fox Shocks make a very noticeable difference in the ride through choppy terrain. If you are pining for I-4WD trading up would be worth it from my viewpoint.

Thank you

I've been very pleased with the i4wd so far also. I know the LE is a fair chunk of cabbage more, but the shocks and the i4wd alone are worth it to me.

I traded my 2016 PK3 in for a 2018 PK5 LE and love the LE!

I haven’t followed all the threads in this forum.... but my 2017 LE with 400 miles has always had an intermittent i4wd light flashing..... taken it in twice and they always have a different story....
I have talked to several LE owners who say theirs has never come on......
Any ideas... or experience??
The light stays on for a day or two... then goes out... everything appears to be in proper running condition but hard to tell when i4wd is actually functioning or not

Not sure what the flashing light is indicative of. Mine had always stayed on when engaged and off when in 2WD. I'm guilty as the next guy for not thoroughly reading the owners manual. I bet if you refer to it that there is commentary on what the flashing light means. Perhaps in the trouble shooting section.

It’s a warning light for excursions that are deemed beyond the users comfort level of gravel, blacktop and such.

I just joined the LE club, brought this home 2 days before Christmas. I still have my 2014 700-4 that I'm going to sell outright.

Bought it used: 2017 with 282 miles, clutch update & all recalls done. I know it is only 3" wider & 2" longer than my 700, but it feels huge. The difference in power is crazy. I am still learning to adjust my driving style to the different transmission.

Is this a BS answer or are you serious.??.... cause I do notice it a lot when I am just running hammer down on a gravel or paved road....
If have figured out from some other threads here why it won’t easily shift into turf mode.....
I am still in the mode of taking it to he dealer for stuff like these cable adjustments.... I know I need the experience in my garage.... so it is easier in the field....
But I figure for my 20 k they need to how to work on one also.... so far I get the feeling mine is a tester/trainer for them....great guys but sometimes I think they need to spend less time replacing belts and more time on the P1 site figuring out everything you guys know....

Well...lol.
I would have to guess at it being a ground wire or loose plug, we’ve seen that to be common. I don’t know if that’s a brake or 4wd problem, LE is going to be a bit harder to diagnose with the complexity of the system.

It should be recording a code, they could pull the code and look into that. But that's if it is recording the code.

The I-4wd has a fault code for brake a light fault. Is your brake light working properly? Also this could be a grounding issues.

Most multi-line dealers don't have any idea how to work on Hondas and don't want to take the time to learn since they take a little more time to repair. Like you said you cant throw a belt at it.

Along with the wiring, dash, front and rear differentials, brake lines, etc. You'll also be replacing all 4 axles and quite possible even the frame. You'd be money ahead to trade.
