Lucky 2001

[toadermcgee]

I'm one of the lucky ones who as an 01 with a CDL in he transfer case (YEAH). My questions are which direction do I turn it to get it to engage and how much force should it take; about the same as going from high to low? I would like to check it out while I have time to kill. I saw the same question asked in another thread (nice bouncers fordbuiler98 BTW) but it wasn't answered.

Thanks for you response

IIRC. The nipple turns toward the P-Side to lock.

What is your build date????

Is that clockwise looking down from above? As for the build date I can't tell as the sticker on the driver door wasn't replaced when it was repaired / replaced before I bought it. Is there some other place to check?

It should be clockwise and it should move pretty easy. It should click over to the engaged position, its about a 1/8th turn if I remember correctly.

Great Thanks.

Follow up on the build date: The 7500 mile service stamp in the owners manual shows it was done @ 3600+ miles (warrenty work done at the same time?) on Nov 1st 2001. I would guess 1st quater of 01 or sooner for a build date. I'll see if the orginal dealer can tell me from the VIN #. I'll update if I find out.

My Build date is 10/00, btw. D1 shifter installed.

My next task is to check local bone yard for a 04 that has met an untimely demise.

Be prepared to wait for a while. I got my '04 linkage from RoverLandParts, after almost 6 months of checking one popped up. I called a couple salvage yards and was told they won't sell the linkage until the t-case was sold.
