ok corey... i tried putting it in N and i coasted forward a bit and the returned the t-case to 2wd and trans to D .... no luck

 

now i'm confused, after all this talk i decided to check my transfer case. the data tag says new process 242 D. Is there a difference or is it the same as the nv 242 HD?

 

Does the manual shifter inside have:

2WD
4PT
4HI
NEUTRAL
4LOW


Old School<---- You might have to jack the front end up and take both wheels off the ground, turn the wheels then shift the case.

 

Im assuming that i have it in 4wd, jack it up, turn the wheels, then pop it in 2wd correct?

 

my sun visor says 2wd, 4pt, 4ft, N, 4lo my shifter says 2wd, 4ft, N, 4lo
I'm guessing the po changed the shift **** for some reason.

 

or they could have had to replace the sun visor for some unknown reason

 

lights on the instru cluster says 4pt too, the mystery thickens....lol

 

The light doesn't mean anything, they used the same cluster in 1998-1999 and I bleieve some 2000's. If you have a light bulb and it lights in both 4ft and 4pt then a "maybe".

The fact of the motter is, when you shift do you have 5 selections or not? Someone could have replaced the T-case with a different one.


Old<-----Place it up in the air. Get in and shift the T-case from neutral all the way up into 2WD. Get out and roll both front wheels backwards so they spin at the same time. Most likely you will hear and see the front end move when you complete the shift anyway.

 

okay got it ill be trying in here in a few mins .. i keep ya posted
