Well thanks to RWH you found the issue, the spring is likely bent on the end where it was contacting the shifting mechanism on the inside.
You can have someone move the shifter back and forth to see if that helps but it looks like it is far enough out that twisting it while pulling may also...
It was obvious as you could feel the lack of detents as you shifted the TC
I hope that is the issue as that is an easy fix!! and I assume they would drain the fluids when it was shipped to EU
AWESOME! I actually had one that was missing the spring and plunger, they obviously thought that was the way to drain the fluid and then just left the parts out and re-installed the plug, I forgot all about that:eek:
Great catch!!
I blame CRS
I do not see any way that shipping could have done this damage, although one should always transport a vehicle in neutral so the parking pawl in the transmission does not get damaged by the truck rocking slightly forward and aft, but that should not affect the TC.
The "rattling" is the transmission output shaft turning when trying to put it in park because the TC is in neutral, stop doing that it can and will damage the parking pawl in the transmission.
The "rattling" when trying to shift the TC when the engine running is because you should NEVER shift...
Welcome to the SS forums!!
Sounds like your transfer case is jumping out of gear, the shifter does not have any detents so adjustment of the shift linkage is not likely the issue, unless the linkage is binding somehow.
This is a common issue with worn components in the T case, I would change the...
458A is switched 24V, ohming the harness wire will do no good as it also is also connected to the IP run solenoid and a couple other items.
If you suspect the thermal switch jump the two harness wires together, 458A and 458B and if the switch is defective the fan will not run.
If the fan still...
In eBay's defense because of their policies there is not much they can do 45 days after the sale, this is to give some protection to the sellers, before that the buyer has all the power, if an item is new or used the buyer has 45 days to open a case no matter what the seller states, the 30 day...
It is easy to see when the pump is removed, it will fall as far as it can out of the block, the small plate behind the fuel pump prevents it from falling out.
It is however fairly difficult to get something under the end of the rod and push it back into place at the same time you are installing...
You can bolt the pump up with the rod out of place, this almost always breaks the rod and or damages the pump.
If you cannot get fuel out of the drain when running I would not get too far from home until you get it fixed.
You can disassemble the check valves, clean them and re-install them, but...
There are also two check valves, one each in the suction and return fuel lines just ahead of the fuel tank, these can be troublesome.
Most folks just remove them and replace them with a piece of fuel hose, they are installed with two short pieces of fuel hose each from the factory so removing...
When you change the lift pump you MUST insure the push rod is pushed up into the block, there are two common ways to do this.
I remove the two 1/4" screws from the plate behind the pump and remove the plate and rod and coat the rod with grease and push it back into the block, put the plate back...
So to farther elaborate, if the lift pump is bad and the charge pump in the IP (injection pump) is pulling fuel, then all of the fuel "delivery" system has a vacuum on it including the filter, so if you open the drain valve and no fuel comes out you should immediately close the valve because the...
If the lift pump, pickup sock, check valves and fuel lines are OK there will be a positive pressure at the fuel filter and fuel will rapidly flow out of the drain when running.
The IP has a charge pump built in, if the lift pump is bad the engine can run with only the charge pump pulling fuel from the tank, it usually will have low power but it still can be started and run, but when the flow is stropped by opening the drain valve and allowing air in it is normally very...
If they were less than 45 days from the sale then you did not handle the return correctly, you should have opened a case and stated the reason is they were defective, if he accepted the return and did not refund your money then I have no issue with naming the seller as this is first hand...
If you open the fuel filter drain valve while running and it sucks in air and dies then ether the lift pump is bad or there is a problem with the suction line to the tank, a stuck check valve or a plugged fuel tank pickup sock, besides this thread is about 8 years old, I hope the OP has figured...
