Hi All,
I have a 2000 EB that I bought last year and have hardly driven. The reason is that 2 days after I brought it home the x-fer case started acting up. It was dead.
After letting it sit for a while while I calmed down I started working on it, but I still have 1 big issue.
OK, here are the original symptom:
1) x-fer case would only engage in Low Range. High range gave grinding sounds and no propulsion.
2) When in 4-low the speedometer reads 4x actual speed (approx)
3) Air compressor running lots.
The biggest problem that I still have is #2. Oh, and I can switch in and out of 4HI all day log with no problem, until I switch into 4LOW. After engaging 4LOW ( and disengaging it) I cannot switch out of 4HI. If I turn the ignition off and restart the Expy, it will go back to AUTO 4WH, but not until I switch it off. Here is what I have done:
1) Replaced the transfer case with a used one.
2) Left the shift motor and VSS on the "new" transfer case that came with it.
Converted the suspension (loving it!)
3) Tried replacing the GEM with a used one. No Change
4) Replaced the 4WD transfer relay module. No Change.
I am really at a loss. I like the ride in this truck, but I want to know what is causing my trouble. I use this truck for Scouts and need to know it is reliable.
Could it be the PCM?
Any Ideas? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
