I thought I was going to have to get the Mog one day to drag the M931A2 a few feet so the T-case would change ranges. That's about the crappiest part of the entire truck. Why the F-, no... how in the H*LL did something like that make it into production? I haven't had time to really look over the linkage but it all looks fairly straight forward. I think I'll keep rangin shifting to being on a hill where I can let the truck roll and maybe that will help.

Noticed today, will shift "in" no problem-shifting "out" big problem. Have to keep working with it to shift "out". Maybe won`t need it much. Otherwise, very happy with everything.
Thanks

they have always been a problem when shifting the transfer. you have to keep shifting to break in the linkage. good luck.

there was an MWO to drill and tap the linkage points so that they can get greased in a normal service. they tend to bind from lack of lube and lack of use.

When I first got mine it was a serious pain to shift. I drained the transfer case and replaced the oil in it with 1 gal of straight lucas oil and 2 1/2 qts of lucas 80w90w gear oil. Then oiled the linkage. As a helpful hint remove the inspection plate to put the lucas in or get a pump. Now mine shifts great for the moment.
