    How to test new GP Relay out of veh?

    Michael, Thank you. Both the old and new relay work fine..... I found that the small red wire connected to the small post has no power. I left the wire there, and ran a secondary wire to the post for power. It works great now. Thank you.

    How to test new GP Relay out of veh?

    Can anyone advise the proper way to test a new gp relay while it is out of the vehicle? Would you use a jumper cable from positive battery post to top lug, then ground out one of the small posts? My gp control card went bad, and I tried to wire the bypass, and it still didn't work. I...

    How much rear tire skip is normal w/1008?

    The right rear tread is almost bald compared to the other tires, probably from the tighter right hand turns at intersections I guess. Do you rotate your tires any more often because of this?

    How much rear tire skip is normal w/1008?

    When making slow speed tight turns, my 1008 has more inside tire "Skip" or "Spin" than I have been used to on my other vehicles. I believe that this is due to the type of rear differential. Is this something normal for our trucks? Thanks

    4WD not engaging- Grinding gears

    Thanks guys. I may have been babying the transfer case a bit, not wanting to shift through neutral too fast, but it sounds like that is what may be causing my problem. Thank you again for the help, if moving through neutral faster doesn't help, and I have a hard time with the adjustment, I...

    4WD not engaging- Grinding gears

    I am not sure about shutting off the engine either, but it was suggested by another member, and it worked for me. Turning the engine off did allow me to shift out of neutral, and up into 2WD, since the gears were no longer turning in the transfer case. Getting out of 4WD low isn't the problem...

    4WD not engaging- Grinding gears

    I know I said I would check on things tomorrow, but I had to go out and make a test drive. This is what I found tonight. I drove a couple hundred yards in 2WD with hubs disengaged. Then I engaged the hubs and shifted into 4WD high- Everything good so far. I stopped and shifted back into 2WD-...

    4WD not engaging- Grinding gears

    With the engine off I can shift through the gears, but I would not consider it smooth. It tends to need an extra push between 2WD and 4WD hi. Between 2WD-N-4WD low, it is a bit smoother.

    4WD not engaging- Grinding gears

    I was stopped when I engaged 4WD hi, then it popped out at about 15-20 mph. I then stopped and put it into neutral, when I heard the grinding. I tried putting it into low, which seemed to work, but again grinding going back to neutral when stopped, and heavy grinding going back into 4WD hi...

    4WD not engaging- Grinding gears

    I am experiencing a problem engaging my 4WD. After changing the tranny filter, changing the tranny and transfer case fluid, and replacing the vacuum lines, the gears pop out of 4WD and grind similar to a manual tranny when the clutch is not engaged. Doing a search of past threads, it looks...
