 What's involved w/ upgrading to air-shift? Pros/cons of converting?
 
 What parts required, availability, & estimated prices, please.

Article in Military Vehicles mag (out in few days) touches briefly on this....
Parts needed, lever in cab, copper air line, air shift transfer case, readily
available, expensive, and probably not worth it.
The adjustment of the original sprag type transfer is not difficult, and
properly maintained lasts a long time, and works reasonably well. Improper
operation and adjustment are more often at fault than actual transfer case
trouble.
Hope this helps,
David
