Hi ! Great video ! very informative and easy to understand ! excellent photo work and lighting ! most vid's don't have this quality ! btw I'm a retire service tech with over 55 years and your vid is one of the best i've seen !
This video just saved me from trashing my band new motor. Y’all know what’s up
Great video except for the background music, it is terrible and I know you use it on other videos. I am a blue driver owner.
very very good and lots of detail where you talked about not being able to line up new motor with trans case it would be hepfulll to tell why, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE HELPFULL IF YOU SAID TO HAVE THE 2 REAR END WHEEL OFF THE GROUND wHY ? MY NEW DOOR MAN MOTOR CAME WITH THE PINION IN 3 OCLOCK NOT 6,( WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN NEUTRAL,) IF THE REAR END WAS OFF THE GROUND I COULD HAVE TURND DRIVE SHAFT TO JIGGER THE LINE UP(MOVE PINION IN TANSFER CASE.. ANYWAY JUST ANOTHER WAY TO ADUST,
probably should have taken it back to store, but was late and saw on an
I appreciate the info especially the part with the bearing caps!! First time tackling this project for me. This video definitely helped, however there is one minor issue. The current part number for the grease you have listed is no longer used. I was searching for it and after a couple of calls to Chevy Parts departments, the guy on the phone told me the old number is obsolete and I'm has been discontinued.
The new replacement part for the grease is GM P/N 19257121
I hope this helps!
I'm putting in a rebuilt transfer case in my 2004 Silverado, how do I put the transfer case in neutral before installing the ecoder motor
El precio de una chevy silverado 2015 l500
I have a 01 Tahoe i have hi 4 but not low 4 I’m going to replace the old motor with a new one can this be my problem
You’re supposed to hold 2Hi and 4Low to go into neutral
I have a 2000 Sierra 1500 4wd. When I switch from 2wd hi to 4wd hi, the light will flash, then stop flashing as though it has engaged in 4wd. However, the front wheels are not being engaged. The front drive shaft will turn, but the front axle shafts/tires are not rotating. I did learn that there is a front actuator motor which I'll be checking on tomorrow after work. My question is this: when is 2wd hi, is the transfer case supposed to disengage with the front drive shaft too? Or is the disengaging done with the actuator motor on the front differential?
Under normal circumstances what would be some of the reasons why you want to have the transfer case in neutral other then for diagnostic reasons as in this video??????
Why won’t my front drive shaft turn? Do I need to lift the Tahoe? It is currently stuck in 4hi and will not shift into neutral. Any advice?
I thought it was called an actuator? Good video!
umm it 2 high and 4 low to shift
Great video guys; very informative!
Chris reminds me of murr from impractical jokers. Great work.
Im curios how come they fail?
What’s a cost for a new transfer case 2005 Silverado?
Gracias por la ayuda solo fui por la parte y lo ise en menos de 16 min ya estaba en la arena dándole ala tahoe thanks for the help.
Could I still drive with a bad encoder motor till I can get around to changing it? Should drive just fine just might not be able to go in 4×4?
What uf you have a 200 z71 with a manual transfer case?
Are all the transfers case the same from 2000 Chevy to 2004 and if the wires are different will the still work if I remove the same parts you change on the video
Just did mine today, piece of cake after watching the videos on it. Thanks
I'll be doing this tomorrow . I feel much better about doing it thanks to you guys
I just changed my transfer case motor in 30 min and it cured all my 4×4 issues. Thank you for posting this.
