Found the plug on the tc and popped it off. Road test was good, no phantom 4-locking anymore. I'll deal with the SVC light .


Thanks for the help.

 

Hi, thank you for all of the postings, but unfortunately all I see is $$$$$ of what my 05 Durango 5.7 is going to cost...Dealer of couse didn't know what to do, couldn't diagnose so they sent me away and said it would more than likely get worse and be diagnoseable...Well its there now! I immediately asked on the last visit if they could somehow disconnect the 4X4 and they said no! They told me that if they did it could drift in and out of 4X4 any time it wanted to. Scary to me (a women). Just wanted to know how things are going for you now! Thanks

 

hi everyone . i have the same problem before , good that i disconnect the 4x4 and my truck since i did that i working normal .. i really easy just go in the transmission in the side of the passenger is a switch selenoid just desconect that and that iit ... OK NOW I STAR having problems with the cranshaft position sensor .. good luck ppl ..

 

Wanted to give an update that all is well with my '05 Durango since the repair 6-6-2011. For anyone interested the part number on my receipt is:

05143477AA Gear Motor Transfer Case list price $330.00, dealer employee discount price is about 40% less.

Tip to help possibly save some money - if you know any of the mechanics at the dealer, more than likely they are paid on a commission basis for the repair. Some dealerships may allow mechanics to work on their family or "friend's" cars after hours. You might want to see if this is possible - if it is you will save money on the labor.

 

2005 hemifix---My 05 Durango is still working fine since I had it repaired!

 

Thanks for all the messages regarding the Transfer case motor repair. I feel more prepared for the dreaded phone call that should come today! Good luck and keep me in the loop if anyone starts having troubles again! We are planning a road trip next month and I am hoping this will fix it!

 

2005 Hemifix---Best of luck to you. I got my receipt out for when I had my transfer case replaced and the cost of the the TC(5143477AA) was 247.50 plus 115.00 for labor. The date was 12 Nov 2010.

 

Has anyone found the exact fix for the 2005 Durango 4X4 popping in and out of four wheel drive?

 

Hi, the mechanic at our local dealership finally called last night, transfer case motor and 2 hours labor! I hope this fixes it, will let you know after I get it back! Good luck to all!

 

Hope it works for you 2005 Hemifix! I'll cross my fingers for you!
