so basically i should look for a truck 6speed manual tc n take whole unit n put in my truck right cant wait for taxes!!!

 

Its not like We specifically went out and bought our trucks just because it has electric switch on the 4X4. it just wasn't a deal breaker to me. I have yet to have it not go into 4X4 even when it was 20 below last winter. it is just a pain in the arssssssss to get it to **** out ....... so no its not a big deal to pull on the t-case handle if you have one but I am not changing mine out just because of this situation...........

 

I found some pretty basic directions on how to switch in and out of 4x4. Hope it helps. Though i would share .

Instructions

1
Check to see if you have manual hubs and that they are in "free" mode.

2
Put your vehicle into four-wheel high mode.

3
Drive forward for about a quarter of a mile.

4
Stop the vehicle and shift from four-wheel to two-wheel drive.

5
Place the vehicle in reverse and drive backwards for 15 to 20 feet.

6
Drive the vehicle forward slowly to allow the loosened shims to disengage.

it wasn't as deal breaker to me either. but hell mine won't go into 4 low.

 

fordornothing my uncles got an 01 thats got a prob gettin into low it normally will engage when you switch too Low in drive or park THEN shift into neutral that normally does it... hope it helps

 

i've tried it all. in nuetral, rocking back and forth etc. it just won't go. i think the POS motor is going out.

 

thats no good....

 

oh well. when i get the spare time and the parts rounded up. i'll be putting in the floor shift t- case. to bad a t- case from the OBS won't fit in there.

 

im sure you could make it with a lil cuttin n weldein

 

well i was thinking mor of the output spline on the tranny and the input spline on the t- case. i can't see them lining up between the years like that. ya know?
