I'm no stranger to turning a wrench, what I am a stranger to is this type of shifter. I'm used to to the older style Chev shifters that have a linkage direct to the transfer case. The shifter on this truck has the same look, in the cab, but I'm told there are electronic magnetic solenoid thingys that actually engage the transfer case.
I've been told my problem is most likely in the shifter magnetic thingys. In the past when I shifted it into 4 high I had to wait about a minute for it to actually engage. I was told it's because the electronic magnetic solenoid thingys were weak.
My questions are, what is the real name of the electronic magnetic solenoid thingys and how do I test them to make sure this is really the problem?
One minute it worked, the next time I put it in 4 high it didn't and hasn't since.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
