There's a blue box under the dash under drivers side of the radio, must take off dash around the steering wheel and radio to get to it. you can see it under the dash drivers side looking towards radio. The man replaces the blue box on another video here and the dash light goes out, fixed. Then put the dash back together. put in a new tilt steering cable or rod to lever while your down there, they break on them too.

Great video angles with exceptional clear and informative dialog. I got to get my hans on one of your CNA mig gun holders. Great design.

I have a question. I have a Dakota 2002 4x4 and I have no power to the T-case moter. All fuses are brand new. Has a brand new switch ( AWD - to a 2wd ) and still nothing. Replaced the T-case wiring. Nothing. I don’t want to replace the blue box of doom yet. Just want to know if it is just the blue box….
@aireddown8137 ай бұрын
It’s difficult or course to say for sure. Since you replaced everything else, it’s a lot more likely to be the blue box of doom.

Thanks. It was my intention to keep plugging along, but it’s literally just sitting there in basically the same shape it was in the video. Except it’s been removed from the lift and put in the corner. It’s not all bad though. The last few years I’ve been living the dream with the family watching my kids grow up. I’ll get back to it someday.

Hey JB. I haven’t been able to produce any brackets for these conversions unfortunately. I had to take a break from the crawler world both for my kids and financially.

It was less. More like 3/4” for the pre 2005. Not worth it. Without the shave kit, you can run Dana 70 gears to beef up your gearset. I wouldn’t shave the 99-04 D60 again.

How did you get the Durango to only 2 wheel drive? What malfunctioned and made this happen?
@kensmith2803 ай бұрын
Front drive shaft boot falls off washes out the greese on the shaft bearing and the shaft breaks off the transfer case, so to get home they take the other end of the shaft off. Then they never get a new bearing shaft $500 to put back on, so it stays only 2 wheel drive until they pay the piper for a new shaft. The blue box transfer case brains under dash drivers side under radio needs to be replaced to get the dash light to turn off.
