Transfer box won't stay in high range

<< < (6/6)

Thanks for all your help Dan, and others of course.

I checked the grub screw.........  not slipped.

I have now had a recon box fitted by my tame mechanic and when he drained the old t box oil most of the internals came out with it!!

It was also filled with ATF, not EP 80/90!!  (not by me)....  its no wonder it gave up the unequal struggle!

He also had to fit a replacement lever, box and linkages as mine were seized solid despite being on the bench with heat, BFH's and penetrating fluid.

Anyway..........  the truck is now really quiet and smooth, and high, low and diff lock works as it should.......  am chuffed but poor. (no change there).

Thanks again

Damon

Well, last night I had visions of a large bill from the garage. For the last couple of days it's been jumping out of high range again. After work last night I went to put it into low range at the start of our lane, and it hardly moved into the low position :(

Then had a sudden wave of inspiration this morning. Stripped the console out, and discovered (luckily!) that I was right. The 2 nuts on the linkage had slackened off, leaving a ridiculous amount of slack in the lever travel. Tightened 'em right up, and woohoo, works a dream again.
