Thank you Tim. Being a female, usually most unethical places will tell me I need a new transfer case, when it was only a fuse. They quoted me over $2,000. I changed the fuse and went back and told them they should subscribe to your channel and step it up into a world of kindness and love.

Only 152296 miles, it's not broken in yet. In my company I buy used Duramax GMC or Chevy. Usually they have around 120K miles. I tend to pay cash, usually less than 25% of the price of a new truck. My theory is that small businesses like mine have good months and bad months but payments go on and on and on regardless of the bank account. Most often a $700 repair bill (or even higher) is less than a single payment for a new truck. I pay someone else to do the truck work while I keep at my company's job. Some self anointed business-men say it's better to work from borrowed money rather than cash. I prefer to be debt free and drive a 15 year old truck. There are five other people in my company who do our field work and I keep my eye on the trucks they use. After all, the trucks belong to my company. Excellent video.

I ran out of gas on a steep downhill grade in my 99 Blazer. AAA guy brought me some and said when an older Blazer is below a quarter tank it can stop reaching the gas that flowed forward. It was a 16% grade. By the time I got down to the bottom (no place to stop) I had driven about 3 or 4 miles with no power steering or brakes. It was a relief to be sure. But I had driven up to the ski area in 4WD and by the time I got down the fuse was blown from me trying to start it a few times. So the first thing I checked, as you suggested was that fuse. I put in a new one and it works again...thank you for saving me hundreds at the dealer.

Until I came across this video giving me the correct ID and location of the fuse I needed to replace. And I'm finally back on the road again. Many thanks

Yo! Thanks for the video. I replaced my transfer case shift motor. I got a new one at O'Reilly's. Removed and installed it in an hour and 20 minutes, which included messing around with the ramps and getting the vehicle all safe. If viewers don't have a battery operated impact drill, now's the time to buy one, so you can take that gravel guard off in 20 seconds. I have a Rigid I bought at HD. The gravel guard bolts and 3 bolts on the T case motor are 15 mm. You can take the lower bolt out with the battery driven impact, but I used my 3/8" air ratchet for the middle and top bolts. I had to get them started with a long 3/8" ratchet first. They are tight and require some work to get them out, even after you get them started. Before you line the new one up, put the electrical connector on and turn on your ignition, hold your brake and put the truck in NEUTRAL and select 2 HI on the push button. This will line up the drive key on the T Case Shift Motor. Put it back in PARK and turn off your ignition and resume installation. PS: The drive shaft has a rubber boot on it with metal tie-wraps. You only need to cut the rear one. I goofed and cut both. I used a nice plastic tie-wrap on both when I put it back together. That boot is a tight fit, so it's not going anywhere. Thanks again! My 4WD is back in business!

Tim is an awesome mechanic. He knows exactly what to check- real quick. I did a rear main seal changeout and didn't ensure the wiring harness to the transfer case was properly secured. Just like Tim said in the video, if this harness falls down, it will rub against the driveshaft. In our case, it wore through the insulation. Initially it was an intermittent SERVICE 4WD light but then it was constant. After I shotgunned the selector switch and the front axle actuator, the lights on the selector switch went out. Tim was able to isolate the problem within a few minutes. Found the blown fuse that caused a no comm to transfer case control module code... Then he was able to pull the codes off the transfer case control module... Looking it up in an online database, there were a number of possibilities. The problem became immediately apparent upon inspection of the transfer case. Don't be like Charlie- Watch the video! I highly recommend Doner Automotive in Anchorage, Alaska if you are lucky enough to live here.

Good point about that ground. On my 2000 that ground bolt is threaded into sheet steel, easily stripped out. I put a nut on the back so it couldn't move, when diagnosing an ABS code. You also make a good point about the cost of parts. However we who drive old cars save thousands of dollars per year from less depreciation and less insurance compared to newer vehicles! So, we shouldn't complain too much about the cost of parts. New vehicles built today are much more likely to fall apart before their time.

Hi what's your experience with this? 2005 Yukon, 5.3L 4x4, 223,000 miles, all stock, daily driver. I can just hear a clicking sound that varies with wheel speed (not rpms) when all else is quiet in cab and windows are down, driving next to a wall or barrier, at 10/15 mph or faster. But ONLY under load with accelerator pressed. Does not click when coasting, or not moving. Comes from under vehicle. I figure either driveshaft u-joint or rear wheel bearing, or maybe parking brake hardware (park brake is out of adjustment), but what do you think? U-joints look ok. A smidgen of play that I can feel but not really see, by hand, same on both ends. Not tight or blown out. Sealed type. Thank ya!

Great video. Thanks for posting. On my 2015 Silverado 1500 (4wd 5.3L V8), I noticed a burning smell and four-wheel high was engaged. The front diff fluid was changed about 30,000 miles ago. Any ideas on where to begin to troubleshoot this?

Question if you can answer it .. I have a 04 chevy tahoe z71 5.3 , Everything works perfect BUT when I turned my truck ON and OFF the lights on the switch will jump to Neutral or 4x4 high or 4x4 low but it never activates the lights only changes is rear when it happens.. The switch is new I follow all the steps to clean the components for the 4x4 everything check up good but I can't figure out what is causing the lights to change to High, Low, Auto 4x4.. if you can answer that question I will appreciate thanks for those amazing videos

Dang you are a good mechanic.... wish you were in south Texas.... One question, just bought a 2006 trailblazer and the service light is on, also the 4x4 light is on.... Google say to replace the fluids.... What type of fluids do you recommend for this 06 Trailblazer.....

Can be an indicator of issues or also normal symptom of 4X operation. May require additional diag to confirm.

Tim! You are awesome. I can hear my motor engaging but I still get the “service 4x4” message. Should I still replace motor? Thanks mitch

I replace the rear shocks in my 97 GMC 1500 four-wheel-drive. And I noticed shortly there after that it felt like the brakes were engaging possibly the emergency brake and I looked around tapped around sprayed some PB blaster applied the emergency brake and released and all that seemed fine it didn’t correct the issue it was like my tires were skidding and I couldn’t tell if it were brakes or something else. Anyway, after watching your video I remember that I was playing with the four-wheel-drive buttons on the dashboard and I usually have a light indicator showing which setting that it’s in, but sometimes that light isn’t displayed. No worries but I decided to double check that indicator on the dashboard and realize that it said 4HI. Once I pressed the button to put it in 2 Wheel Dr. the problem seem to go away. Which leads me to a new issue then I’ll probably run into win the snow hits here in the Midwest as to why the 4HI Doesn’t seem to be functioning properly as I hear the tire skid and squeak especially in reverse turning the wheel so somethings not engaging properly but I have not yet even looked into that. I’m wondering if it’s possibly a stuck switch because when I do press the button to switch it I hear it engage so I’m not sure sorry to make this a long story. Thank you.

I've spent days working on this 02 Tahoe with 344,000 miles. Mostly drive train related repairs.
