4x4 won't engage

Mar00n6liter · Feb 22, 2013

Hey I have an 03 CCSB F250 6.0 that will not engage in 4x4. I don't have factory hubs I have warn manual locking hubs. A few months ago it was working perfectly fine in the snow but I tried it when I had a gooseneck on yesterday when I most needed it but it wouldn't engage. Both 4 high and 4 low lights came on however...any ideas?

do you ave the switch on the dash or manual

Mar00n6liter · Feb 22, 2013

Its the electronic shift on the fly on the dash

Switch is junk. I hate them damn things

I wish I just had a floor shifter..I didnt know if it could be the switch or the gear motor on the transfer case thats supposed to engage it

Check to make sure the t-case motor is working.. Have someone under the truck while u try to engage -dis engage it...

Either motor or dash switch but i can almost bet the motor. We sell alot of them and i have them in stock if you need one.

Isn't there a way to engage the transfer case manually under the truck when the motor goes out? Seems like I've heard that before.

I know on the manual Tcase you can, im not so sure about the ESOF

I don't belive there is a way to manually engage it.. That elec motor has a lot of torque to move stuff around in the t-case... There no levers on the outside to move stuff around...

Mar00n6liter · Feb 22, 2013

I can hear it clicking like its trying to

Mar00n6liter · Feb 22, 2013

i believe its trying but still not engaging..damn the luck

you can pull it out and put a 1/2" ratchet and manually change it

Mar00n6liter · Feb 22, 2013

aint nobody got time for that! lol i just dont know if it could be the t case motor itself i mean i can hear it clicking, or what else it could be

ricg · Feb 22, 2013

lol..it might be stuck.. if you hear it clicking then its trying to turn but its not letting it.. so you might just have to pull it out and manually switch it then put it back in and see if that fixed it..i have a 08 and my t-case motor went out and it made no sound at all.. and its still broke.. dont really feel like getting screwed over by the dealership with the cost of the part..

Mar00n6liter · Feb 22, 2013

Thanks ill have to try that just to see if it is that motor.. so I can rule that out

so I think it is 1 of my hubs, when I put it in 2 wheel drive the driveshaft will spin in 4 wheel drive it will not spin so it is engaged there. However whenever it is in 2 wheel drive and I lock both of my hubs the driver side u joint will not spin so is engaged but the passenger side spins so that hub is not engaged. But I don't know if 1 hub not being engaged will make it not work altogether?
