Has anyone ever put the upgraded transfer case the one that gets the "Auto" from an LE into a non LE 4WD?

Has anyone thought about it?

I really want that feature but trading in my Silver edition at a big loss and then buying another truck seems excessive...

I think it would be a real pain to do. The LE has a different wiring harness what would be needed to do the job. The AUTO mode has a transfer relay up in the engine compartment and I would have to imagine there would be issues with the CAN communication that would need to be ironed-out. I have the AUTO mode in my LE and the standard transfer case in my SE. While I like the AUTO transfer case, I don't love it enough to go through the expense, work and headache to consider putting one in my SE.
