Xmas Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I think I read on here that if the 4x4 shifter boot is ripped you can feel the heat around your right leg / knee. Also I notice that my 4x4 shifter (not the knob) is pretty warm to mild hot also. Normal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Your shifter will get warm a little, but if you feel a hot air comming up through your boot is most likely ripped. Pretty easy to check on the older models as there sre only two snappers holding the top boot to the floor on the drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 if your foot is hot then check for missing heat shield on the exhaust.. too much heat has started a fire or two before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Thanks U 2. Since I been driving more often and longer distance I start to feel it. Somedays it seems to get warmer then others. Like today, same route to work and it was just a little bit warm (4x4 rod / shifter metal part of the rod), it was no where as warn as it was yesterday. I think I am going to change the differential fluids. It prob needs to be replaced Oh - the boot is for sure ripped Edited February 22, 2008 by Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yeah mine gets warm too, but when its -25 like it was today, I'm not complaining about having a nice leg warmer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
