I fixed the buzzing sound and loss of drive to wheels. there is a shifting fork that gets sloppy. I did this on the truck. ?? a long time ago. I opened the transfer case pushed the shift collar into high range put welds on the shaft so it couldn't disengage. I lost a lot of sleep not having low range. I bought beer with all the money I saved 1999------------2018- still buying beer
Ok that tells me how my transfer case works very clearly. So this weekend when I put it into 4 low or 4 high with everything working ,hubs locked ,shafts no longer free, and I got stuck because between the transfer case and the front shaft something is no longer connected? 4 low or high only on the back end? No noise and it was working last in February.
So 11 months ago I was checking the 4x4 while parked at the bottom of a slope assuming that my locking hub were indeed working and I had to get towed 45 feet to get traction . Turns out that one hub just would not engage . After buying new hubs i found this video that explains everything you need to fix your hubs in the wilderness if need be! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W78RkF1mUOE.html Could have saved me hundreds if I had known at the time.
Hi, generally you would be stationary when you shift from high to low ratio, which is why you have dog teeth. It's not like a range change on a truck which you would shift while moving. 🙂
newer ones you can switch while moving, they have synchronizers and electrically operated with a push of a button / knob. This video is probably for the older ones where you have to engage 4x4 by shifting like a manual transmission and find that "sweet spot" so you wont grind the gears. I had tried that on GMC trucks and i kept on grinding gears.
