Troubleshooting '96 LT230 Transfer Case vs Axle Failure
Need some help here; after doing a search I do not have a good grip on what could be going wrong:
THE EVENT: Recovering a 4x4 using kinetic strap from my front recovery point to the person's rear recovery poing and backing out in LOW-LOCK. Under medium load I heard the "THWACK-CLUNK." I at first thought it was the kinetic strap breaking.
FINDINGS: Road test
I spent some time to trouble-shoot the T-CASE; keep in mind I have the 5-speed manual transmission (R380):
SETTING DRIVE
low NO
high NO
low-lock YES
high-lock YES
WHAT SCENARIO(S) WOULD PROVIDE POWER TRANSMISSION ONLY IN LOW/HIGH-LOCKED POSITION?
At this point I am thinking a linkage problem. I will pull the center console to check the linkage. Does anyone have any other suggestions to offer for troubleshooting/diagnosis?
Thanks.
