Post subject: | NP242 transfer mode indicator weirdness |
Just got done servicing my axles, which included replacing the pinion seal on the front axle (which meant dropping the driveline). Upon taking it for a test drive, realize that I'm in 4wd even though the shifter is all the way forward. It gets weirder. I think the case was just bound up, I jacked up the front end and the front axle does indeed turn free in 2wd and N, but the indicators are now exactly 1 detent off -- part time indicated when in 2wd, full time indicated when in part time, N indicated when in full time, etc. There was never any forcing or binding, there are no corroded parts, everything looks fantastic. Shifter feels exactly as it always has. Any ideas? |

Did you check the cable at the transfer case? There is a plastic bushing that holds the end of the cable to the T-case lever. This bushing is a POS and will disintegrate over time and fall off. The last time I looked online don't sell just that part, they want you to buy a whole new shifter cable + bushing. I made my own bushing + a C-ring washer to lock it on. |
