So my transfer case is not disengaging and my 4x4 light isnt on. I know its in 4 bc when I try and make a tight turn my truck doesnt like it at all. Grinding and what not. It wont go into 2 or 4lo. I need to fix this asap b/c i have to drive over a 100 miles tom back to NY. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


Oh, and its a 2001 4.0 SOHC. And the t-case is only a little over a 1 1/2 yrs old.

 

Do the 4wd lights flash once when you start the truck?

 

no they do not.

 

Pull the dash trim off and see if the 4wd switch and lights have come un plugged.

 

Check your fuses. If they are good try the connector under the driver's seat under the truck. There might be crap in there. If that is good then you might have fried the 4wd computer.

 

sounds like your shift motor. they are prone to fail .

 

I got a new t-case from the stealership in March/April of 07. Do they use the same shift motor? Or is it a new shift motor?

 

2 new t cases or just the rear?

 

i cant rememeber if it was march or april. I ended up getting a t-case, transmission and rear shaft all at the same time.

 

i would think they would have used a new one not sure. i know they get "lost" and dont know what position it is in and will not work take a look at what i pm'd you. you will find alot of troubleshooting guides on there

 

01 to 03 had a 4x4 computer there always messing up its probley that every one ive seen in that year its been the computer every time its bechind the pass side kick panel

 

Worst case pull you front d shaft to get home.
