I've had quite a few issues with my 4x4.
Bought the truck with the front driveshaft laying in the back seat...
After finding the correct u joints for my np231c, I gt my driveshaft installed. The front output wouldn't engage in 4hi, but would in 4lo. I still didn't have 4x4 though. My lights for the 4x4 are burnt out. Today I got my test light out for some diagnosis. I had power at the 4x4 fuse, but not at the accuator (has been updated to the electric motor). I went back to the transfer case looking for the switch. Apparently my transfer case doesn't even have the provisions for a t case switch. The pigtail from the switch was cut and spliced with 2 wires coming off of it and running up through the stick shift boot. These wires were not attached to anything. I took a jumper wire and connected the two. I could hear the actuator engage the front axle. I now have excellent 4lo, but cannot get 4hi.
The 4 hi issues seems like a linkage issue to me. Any input on this would be great, even if it means something different and more complex than the linkage. Any ideas?
My second question is, will it hurt to run my actuator on a toggle switch since my transfer case has no switch to control it? I plan on adding another fuse just to be safe, but will I be okay sound so until I swap in a np241?
And my last question is, what size bulb goes into the manual shift t case lights?
