Who installed the transmission,as that had to be an installer error when the transmission was replaced.

you are correct sir. the transfer case fell out of my truck (literally). i worked on it until it got cold. now that spring is here in alberta it’s back in. it seems to work fine but i still have a check transfer case code that i can’t clear. i have tried to reset it by disconnecting the battery.

when i shift into 4x4 it seems to work but i am going to have to find some mud to make sure. it definitely goes into low range but i dont know if the axle is engaged.

It could only be a couple things. Bad wiring, Actuator going bad, and faulty wheel speed sensors.

We would like to see if any TSB's or STAR cases exist. At any time, DM us, and we can check.
