This is how to quickly align the shift motor so that it will slide onto the shaft on the transfer case. Be aware though that the 2x T20 bolts could be a headache!

Does the vehicle need to be in neutral when removing and setting it back in?
@joshuaanothereraseddad2 жыл бұрын
Only the transfer case needs to be set to neutral. That can be accomplished by holding down the 2wd and 4wd/low buttons.

This is exactly what was wrong with mine. I replaced the transfer case and the gears on the transfer case was different then the gears on the motor. I pushed the button on the dash to try to align the gears. then the light went off on the dash and was getting the error for service 4WD. So I came across this video and I just performed the re-alignment and now the light come on for neutral. We are back in business. Thanks for the video.

I'm not sure without seeing your sitaution in person. I have heard that sometimes the switches themselves go bad. I would use a multimeter and perform some tests on the switch at the dash to check for resistance. I pray you get it resolved.

I'm sorry to say, but due to the numerous differences between them, as far as I am aware, you'll have to scour the scrap yards for the correct year components. There is a professional transmission guy on YT and his channel is called Presicion Transmission m.youtube.com/@PrecisionTransmission/ and he would be better at offering advice for situation. However, I'm inclined to believe there are enough difference within those years that ultimately make them incompatible.

@joshuaanothereraseddad4 ай бұрын
It really shouldn't matter as the computer should recognize the position upon reinstall, however, it wouldn't hurt to turn the ignition on and push the switch to activate neutral position.

Ok so when I install it on the transfer case and cut the key forward it should light up on the 4x4 switch

You have to manually turn transfer case to neutral and then reinstall motor (of course in neutral). Then you should be good and it should show neutral on switch.

Sounds like the gasket or O ring between the control module and the transfer case where it bolts to is leaking right where it aligns at. Like inside the case like an O ring.

@joshuaanothereraseddad26 күн бұрын
I would think with a manual style that you just be able to turn the shaft with a pair of pliers to the neutral position. I'm not sure what one looks like so unfortunately I'm not the best to offer assistance.

@@joshuaanothereraseddad I gotchs so my issue is I had to replace the transfer case adapter gasket and I had my truck in park and the transfer case in 2wd not neutral and when I put the tcase back in the gears from the transmission and t case aren’t aligning up
@joshuaanothereraseddad26 күн бұрын
Okay so you'll have to engage the tcase into neutral and then spin the shaft until it aligns with the transmission. You can also pop the transmission in neutral and spin that shaft. I'm pretty sure theres a wide spot between two of the teeth on the inside of the tcase shaft. That will need to align with transmission side. You may need to use a flashlight to find spot on transmission side. In some cases there is no wide spot and the buggers just have to be fiddled with until they finally align. Having the tcase ultra straight is very helpful. I hope you can get it sorted without much more hassle.
