Default 2004 RAM 1500 4x4 Linkage broken

Hello all,

first time posting but have lurked over some issues that I have had in the past.

I have a 2004 RAM 1500 Quad Cab. My linkage from my Transfer Case to shifter is broken and I can't seem to find the where the rod would go on the transfer case. I will provide pictures, I haven't bought the part yet but wanted to verify I bought the right part.

Thank you to all that help in my issue, sorry I am kind of new at working on my vehicles!

Part




Shifter missing linkage rod, unsure where the other side of it goes.

Thank you so much for replying and the pictures.. I think that piece might've gotten ripped off on my truck. Here is a picture of that bolt I believe. Does anyone know my options with that control arm ripped off on the transfer case?

Hey Lagspikes, after posting the pictures I noticed they just did a post on this same thing. KasperR34 on 2-26-16.
Looks like they are making it work with parts from a turnbuckle, but they probably mention the real part you need too!!
Good luck!!!

Thank you! Only issue is they are using the control arm from the transfer case, which seems to be broken off on my truck. I guess I will need to either go to a dealer and see if they can find a piece for the transfer case so I can do the turnbuckle rod.

For anyone else, here is the link to the thread in question
