My 1997 GMC Somewhat bulid thread ( Lots of Pictures)

[Havoc2004]

Well my truck is stuck in 4lo in my drive way right now and it won't shift out of it. Any ideas of what it could be? Last night at a bonfire it was really sandy and I needed 4x4 to turn her around when I was parking. (I've never had 4hi). Then it didn't want to shift out of 4lo last night but it did and I parked it. At the end of the night it wouldn't go into 4 wheel drive at all like the switch wasn't lighting up at all and thank God I was able to climb the hill and get out in two wheel drive. So I had two extra switches at the house and a little while ago I switched them out and then it worked......... but it got stuck in 4lo again and WON'T shift out at all. When I push the buttons they flash and it makes a click in the cab but it doesn't shift the transfer case under the truck. All three switches are doing the same thing. Any help is greatly appreciated because as is it's not drive able now

I was having a similar problem in my old '96 Z71 and it turned out to be actuator motor. Also may have the linkage checked.

It happened to mine what I did was put it in the gear that I engaged 4 low in and punch the 2wd button that worked for me

Stupid push button 4x4, only downside to the 97

Where is the actuator motor located? I changed the actuator and I just picked up the transfer case switch that I ordered yesterday so hopefully that fixes it if not I don't have any idea what it is haha

No updates other than I did fix my four wheel drive last weekend. Nearly $400 later but I fixed it haha.

Anyways I got a pic of when we were putting on my cab lights and I finally got a pic next to a 2014!

Kinda hard to say without a tread pic. How can you try an sell tires without that???

 

[dowsewashere]

No tread pic. No dot year number hard to say

That's what I am trying to figure out haha

No tread pic. No dot year number hard to say

I remember learning about the DOT numbers but I forgot how it works! What should it be to be a newer tire??
