Title: 87 v6 hardbody transfer case problems
Post by: Keithwidney on October 29, 2011, 07:17:15 AM
I'm having problem getting my transfer case to shift . I can get nutral or 4low , but when I try to get 2 high or 4 high I cant get the stick to move . Any suggestions where to start to solve the problem ? Thanks in advance .

Hi keith! I dunno why these knuckleheads haven't answered you yet. Is the truck driveable?

are you pushing the transercase shifter down as in into the floor when you move it?

Yes the truck is driven daily, the selector is in the neutral position and that's my 2wd . I have pushed down and pulled up on the selector and can't get it to move .

Well I'm an idiot . When I would push in on on the selector I would try to push forward toward the dash . Well this morning I got it to work . I also thought it was going into 4 low because of how much torque there was. I have to say I love my truck and can't wait to try 4low

haha no worries, you're not the first to do this.
These trucks a pretty deep differential gearing from the factory the t-case low range is 2.02:1 which is ok but isn't terribly deep.
