Hello,

I can't get my '94 D1 to the low range. I tried wrenching on it from the top and bottom but it seems stuck or blocked. The CDL works fine in high. Any ideas before I start digging in?

Thanks,

Blake

Climb under and spray the crap out of the linkage with WD40 or something similar. I bought a used 94 that had never been in low range and it was stuck. After I got it loosened-up I used spray lithium grease and have not had any more problems.

Also check oil level in transfer case? Sounds like the linkages are moving if you can engage CDL. Anyway like Charles advises, make sure everything is lubed with WD - maybe even hit it a couple of times over several days.

It's not unusual for things that are totally bound up to loosen up over time if you hit them with WD repeatedly.

On King of the Hill today the cap to Hank's can of WD-40 was stuck so he pulled out a smaller can from some sort of holster on his belt and sprayed the cap of the big one so it would open. :)
