The solenoid you replaced sends the vacuum to the shifter mechanism on the transfer case, it moves it into 4 wheel drive or takes it out. it has nothing to do with high/ low. The floor shifter in the cab does the high /low and will not put it into 4X4 The light in the dash works off a sending...

I just rebuilt mine a few months ago , I got to know it pretty well. The high low shift is mechanical with the shifter in the cab. It can be in low without it being in 4 X 4. You would notice the difference while driving. Look where the big vacuum hoses hook into the vacuum shift assembly on...

I just went through this on my 62. I thought it was the starter. But I could jump the starter direct with the key on and get it to start fine. I then read about putting a relay in to get better voltage to the solenoid . My problem turned out to be the contacts in my ignition switch which the...

Mine swiveled as well, I believe it is a vent for putting transmission fluid in, at least that's all I could figure out

I assume you mean the auto dipstick on a 62. it attaches to a fitting right in the top of the trans, Good luck getting your hand up there. I just put my tans in a few weeks ago and forgot to put that on before I put the cross member in place. Luckily I had the high low stick out of its hole...

So.. I have no CEL at all at anytime I checked the efi fuse. it was blown , stuck another one in and as soon as I turned it over it blew as well.. at least it is narrowed down. is there anything common that blows the efi fuse out? Keeping in mind I just rebuilt the trans and transfer case...

I did late last night go out and try to pull a code in the dark , Ill try again in the light, but I did go in and turn the key to see if a cel came on . it did not I will look at the relay tonight. will the relay not let spark happen?

Im assuming electrical since I cant get the coil to spark grounding out the coil to distributor wire I was doing about 75 on the freeway the engine died right out. I coasted to the side of the road and haven't been able to start it since. I will try to pull codes tonight when i get home from...

I first tested the coil with ground off battery to make sure I had volts there, then used ground off the igniter case itself, still had volts I did run the resistance tests off the distributor, both of them actually were slightly off but not enough to cause it to not run at all, I don't...

I tried the running 62's igniter I did not try the coil though as they both tested about the same in resistance. how does one test the harness? and bypass the ignition switch?

Yes that was the first thing I checked almost mirrored the battery voltage

So I dropped a pair of needle nose plyers down inside the passenger wheel well and pulled the battery to get them out so i don't think it will show codes now :clap:

The thing quit running while on the freeway, I have just overhauled the trans/ transfer case and have maybe 200 miles on it. Had to tow it home. When I do the spark check i'm getting nothing out of the coil. I printed the on vehicle inspection spark test out and went through the test 1 by...

Just did a transfer case and Automatic Overhaul Everything goes good until I put them back in. First time I fought it a bit to get the last 1/4" but it went in. I couldn't turn the engine over by hand to hook up the converter bolts. I pulled it back out to make sure things were ok. I can spin...
