Dorman shift motors SUCK
I would rather rebuild a stock unit
Now with that said
If your t case is in 2wd and the new shift motor is in N or something, plug the shift motor into the truck and turn the dash switch to 2wd, does the shift motor move?
The shift motor should "shift" even when detached from the truck
These motors cannot be rebuilt ( at home at least ) Here is the thread I had going on over at Ranger Station about this whole shift motor deal. https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178693&page=10
They kept telling me to rebuild my old one, telling me how easy it was, I eventually go around to taking my motor apart ( which BTW was prob perfectly fine ) and I ended up seeing myself that it could not be rebuilt, a couple of really knowledgeable people over there, things got real quiet at that point, then it was suggested that I just replace it.
