I was shifting my 98 1500 into 4x4 today and it didnt really seem like it was in 4x4. i got out of my truck and saw the cable that goes from the shifter to the transfer case hanging down. I'm pretty sure it broke on the shifter end. I'm wondering how easy it is do myself and how much it might be to have a mechanic do since its freaking cold in new england haha.

 

go to a junkyard and get some donor parts and its a pretty straight forward remove and replace job

 

our trucks dont have a cable going to the t-case. it should be a little round bar with bushings at either end most of the time those bushing get brittle and fall apart two options use vaccum hose to hold it in place ( redneck rig) or get the bushings from dodge ( prob expensive as hell)

 

thanks for the help guys. i was able to fix the linkage. the cable that i though i saw ended up being a zip tie with some rock salt on the end.

 

lmfao

 

 

Not gunna lie... That is really funny, but something I have a feeling I'd do myself lmao... Glad you fixed it though.
