Transfer Case Shift Motor Replacement

[genie144]

Can anyone give me an idea of what is needed to replace the transfer case shift motor? Mine is bad and I would love to get it replaced before I head across the wasteland that is Kansas...

From what I remember it was just a couple of bolts and a wire harness. Sorry I can't be more help it has been a while since I changed mine. But what I remember it was not hard.

That is what it looked like to me... Dealership asked for $900 and change to switch it out...

I did mine in my driveway. That is the only reason I say it wasn't that hard.

Do you remember if you had to mess with the oil at all?

No oil it was clean.

Sorry... Do you have to drain the oil to change the shift motor?

Is that what is causing those Transfer Case codes Sam?

It would appear so. Had Phil Long check it out (with a free coupon) and they indicated it is the shift motor. Planning on replacing it this Friday and see what happens.

No I did not have to change or drain the oil in the t-case.

No need to drain any oil.
