I have a 97 K3500 with a 5.7, but it's a dually with a 10k GVWR, so either a BW 4401 or 4470 T-case. It's been having trouble going into low range, which I think is wear in the bushings on the manual shift linkage. I pulled the lever completely off this evening, and the adjustment threads are rusted solid. I'm confident I can make them turn if I put a little heat on the nut, but that's going to trash the plastic bushings that hold the shaft into the levers.
Does anyone know where I can get a new set of bushings? I'm reluctant to try to pull the old ones off because I think they'll break, and I think that wear in the bushings is most of the problem anyway.
This is my balloon truck, and not having low range sucks. My chase crew got it stuck Saturday whileI was flying, but fortunately there was another crew nearby who were able to help.
