    Transfer Case Or Shift Motor?!?!?! HELP....

    Funny you said that Mark because when I went there to pull the relays.... almost all of them were in wrecks but there were about 3 that were in tact as if they just died. So when I get one I will need to deposit money and I will walk around and look at odometers because mine is at 187K and will...

    Thanx Snoranger... going to do it right now!!! But then what??? Will that mean I don't need a new one. Or, I will just have to keep doing that at some point?? Maybe if I don't ever use 4wd again it will never happen again??:eek:

    Transfer Case Or Shift Motor?!?!?! HELP....

    Mark, it is not AWD. It rides as if it's 'stuck' in 4WD very slow with a slow dragging/humming noise as well.. maybe as you previously stated 4wd low. But I am glad to finally be working towards resolving the issue.... even in baby steps! Lol. I will begin again on Monday by ordering the xfer...

    Transfer Case Or Shift Motor?!?!?! HELP....

    Thanx Mark. I was actually told that it was stuck in 4x4 which makes it seem as if it's not shifting in 2-3 & 3-4. So they wanted me to start with the transfer case which he said is bad & the reason it's not "TRANSFERRING" out of 4x4... Does that sound correct?? On another observation.... it...

    Transfer Case Or Shift Motor?!?!?! HELP....

    OD OFF light blinking

    Sorry for the confusion Imp... Oxgen sensors is why the check engine light is on, which I am going to conquer next. Blinky O/Doff light has to do with either the TCC solenoid or Torque Converter itself being bad... I was told. As well, since the solenoids are indeed on the VB then getting the...
