Sounds like you actually had it in neutral and need to bleed off all your air then push the shifter until its sitting on the floor then try moving the truck.
Done. All is working as it should now. I just have to dump all the air in order to shift. Oh and the speedometer quit working after I installed a new tach cable.
Yes. I'm having trouble getting anyone to answer the phone. Yesterday sounded like I was getting a fax. I just need to know if they will be open on Saturday.
Oh ok. Going to move the truck Saturday morning from lyons kansas to woodward oklahoma. Anyone near that path of travel? and do any of you know anything about the 5 ton parts yard in Salina kansas?
Yes I do and it is in hi range and the botton doesn't work where can I find a working replacement? Also ehen I jump the button the solenoid still wont work. Guess ill pick up a new one sometime.
Yes the lever is in high range on the floor. No the button is not working. One side of the button is getting power but the button is bad when I jump the button and allow a manual flow of power the solenoid is not moving. Thank you that is exactly what I was looking for. So just pull the pin out...
alright so after pulling and cleaning the solenoid, shift linkage and checking all the air lines etc it still wont shift. And the truck wont do over 45 I'm wondering if its stuck in low range 2wd? Is that even possible?
Ok sorry about that my phone is sucking today. I have disconnected the air to it entirely. I love working on this truck there is actually room to work on things haha
I soaked everything down in penetrating oil and it still wont budge even while moving in a little sand. I've pulled the solenoid off for cleaning and inspection since I can't seem to get it to move. Is it save to power the solenoid with straight 24V? I just want to make sure it works to mark it...
No. I've cleaned the linkage and transfercase cause it had lots of mud on it. I've checked airlines and pressure etc. All that's left is to take a multimeter to the electrical part of it.
Yes I am reading all applicable TM's and it will not shift with or without air running or not. Could it be the silonoid because when I push the button nothing happens. And I'm not sure if I have open diffs or not. what's the best way to find out? Axle codes or something?
