1- bought truck a few weeks ago, guy said 4WD worked fine, took it for a drive and noticed the 2WD and the 4WD light flashing simultaneously on and off.
Moved the knob on the dash, nothing lit up as far as an indicator that I had shifted out of 2WD/
The truck did not go into 4WD.
2- Driving the truck, not liking the fuel mileage, tired of seeing the flash I decided to put a jack under the front and rear axle, get it off the ground and see what was spinning.
3- Did this, only one in the right rear was spinning so I knew I was in 2WD.
Put the vehicle in park again ( still up in the air ) and moved knob to 4high and 4 low. Put it in drive and nothing spinning but the right rear.
4- Put it back down on the ground, put the knob back in 2WD and parked truck in my driveway.
5- Got up this A.M started truck and light on dash said 4low and also OD OFF was flashing. I drove the truck a short distance and indeed it was in 4 Low.
6- Even though I have no Fn clue what Im doing I removed the shift motor and turned the pawl in there until
it finally was in 2WD. I did not put the motor back in place but instead zip tied it to the shield under transfer case where it is still now.
7- Drove the truck a great distance today and all it did was again flash the 4high and 4 low light but at one point it stopped doing that, now its flashing that its in 4 low and the O/D off is again flashing. ( its not in 4 low though )
PLEASE tell me how to fix this, where to start. Thank-you
