Tahnks everyone,
Even if I never get this thing going I am meeting some great people in the process.
I am going to try and download that manual.

Thanks for all the responses.
Works fine in low range.
When in high range it does not stall or lag. CAn rev just like in neutral. Does nothing.
However one time it worked. I drove it the length of the drive way, about 1/10 mile. Stopped and turned aroung, then high range would not work...
Finally got to speak with Major Tom.
A very great wealth of knowledge for which I am very thankful for, as well as all of you're in-puts.

I dont know if I should be happy or not.
There wasno rust and everything looks just great...

Can anyone tell me what the short steel...
U ubderstand what your saying regarding the adjustment of the linkage and how critical it is.
But isn't that more to do with the auto shifting?
Does that have anything to do why it would not go into High Range?
Thanks again
Thanks everyone for your help.
Please let me know if you get anymore ideas.

This truck is pretty nice, and used to work well, now this problem.
