FLApathy Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) is there a light that comes on when you put it in 4x4 mode, cuzz ive yet to see one and im scared to death im driving it in 4x4 over 30 mph like in normal driving conditions, ive had it in 4x4 once but didnt notice a light and can anybody post a pic of what the shifter looks like when its not in 4x4, like ready for normal driving conditions, maybe with the automatic shifter in it as well ty oh and what can be done to the internals if you drive the t case in N, before i got it my sister drove it that way, with the 4x4 shifter in N Edited August 5, 2005 by FLApathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Not sure I understand your questions, but on my '92 the t-shift goes (starting from the most forward position) 2H-4H-N-4L. When it is in "N" it doesn't move. When it is in anything other than 2H a green light on the dash above the shifter lights (it has some kind of silly picture - a bird's eye view of 4 wheels, IIRC).

Kn0xville Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 if the 4x4 shifter is all the up (closest to the dash) your in 2wd, al the way down is 4lo. and yes there should be a 4x4 light, on my 93, its at the bottom right corner of my cluster. If your isnt working, it could simply be the wiring at the tcase, get under there and take a look and see if a wire looks bare or unplugged or just real dirty.

FLApathy Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 my sister drove the truck with the 4x4 shifter in N not the trans shifter, my qeustion is, is there a light that comes on when the 4x4 shifter is in anything but 2H were is supposed to be in normal driving conditions, the reason i ask is because im affraid that im in something other than 2H, since i have no expirence with this truck and because i just got it, im worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLlegal Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I think you have the light but it doesnt go on. like mine. I have never seen It go on. and to be honest I think it is realitivly easy to tell if its in 2H or 4H just push the shifter forward as far as it will go....I think there is a switch on the tranny that might be unplugged or the light burnt out for the 4x4. the light should be on the right side of your steering wheel. like animal said birds eye view of 4wheels.

Kn0xville Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 you can not drive with the 4x4 shifter in neutral, it just wouldnt move. And the light will only come on in 4hi or 4lo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLlegal Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 wow alot of replys quick haha.. yes a light should come on if your in anything besides 2H to answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLApathy Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 i ask because i just scared that its not in 2H when im driving thats all, and if there is a light and its not working im sure i can figure it out, my dad is a master tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kn0xville Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 park your pathy on a hill with a small incline, put it in drive and take your foot off brake and see if it climbs without touching the gas, most pathies wont if in 2wd, but will if in 4wd.

FLApathy Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) :cool2: thanks that should be moved to the garage tech section Edited August 5, 2005 by FLApathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 my sister drove the truck with the 4x4 shifter in N I highly doubt that... I don't have an auto, but neutral is neutral, as in not moving... I understand your concern about not ruining your truck and there is no harm in asking, but I dont think shifting needs to go in the Tech section.

FLApathy Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 all right but im going to see if i can drive it a few feet with the 4x4 shifter in n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 all right but im going to see if i can drive it a few feet with the 4x4 shifter in n ok? -thnkboutit- the other thing is make sure you back up 1m to unlock the automatic hubs (you should hear a couple of simultaneous clicks comng from the wheels)... otherwise you're spinning the t-case needlessly.

nige Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 My switch just went kaput on my truck, now the little light doesn't come on. If you're curious to know where the switch is located, refer to this diagram (it came from Precise1's thread about speedo issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
