POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
THE PUSH BUTTON 4-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH WORKS PART TIME. THE COMPUTER CAN BE RESET AND IT WILL WORK FOR A WHILE. AT TIMES YOU CAN BECOME STUCK IN 2-HI, 4-HI, AND EVEN 4-LO. THE CONNECTION AT THE SHIFT MOTOR/ENCODER WAS REMOVED, CLEANED, COATED WILL DIELECTRIC GEL, AND THE BOLT THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE WAS COATED WITH LOCTITE. THIS CURED PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN PERFORMED THREE TIMES INWHICH IT ONLY CURED THE PROBLEM FOR A MINIMAL TIME. I HAVE SPOKE WITH DEALERS IN THE AREA AND THEY KNOW NOTHING. I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I VIEWED THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTES AND NOTICED MANY HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS(ODI ID-531922, 538102, 985135,472910). THIS MIGHT BE EXPECTED IF OFFROADED HARD, MY TRUCK IS USED AS A TRUCK BUT NOT ABUSED. PLEASE HELP.
