So the first big snow of this year, I go out and hit 4x4 to head into work, and get nada!! Didn't have time to mess with it, and was running late, and the snow was 6" deep, so just slipped and slid into work. I had fixed the shift motor once when I first got the truck (from the instructions here), so I knew what was up. That was back on 5-30-2009, I had a thread on here about it.
So once the snow melted and I could get under the truck I pulled the shift motor expecting to find that my "fix", a cut piece of vacuum tubing, had come off, cracked, or otherwise become unusable. What I found was that it was intact, but had a slight indention on the side that hit the stop....was just a 1mm or 2mm indention... I turned it a bit so a "fresh" side was facing the stop and threw it back on, worked like new again. And good thing, we got 2 feet of snow a few days later...
So anyway, has anyone tried something different that has work for longer then 21 months??? Any ideas? It was annoying that the one day in the last year I needed it to work it didn't.
