Perfect! Thank You!!!

Thank you so much! Would you have a diagram with a little better resolution? I've tried to blow it up but the lettering is still unreadable. Tim

Ok, I checked the switch, it's ok. I replaced the control module twice, no result. I replaced the motor on the transfer case, no result. I checked both fuses, #13 under the hood and #35 in the driver door jamb, all ok. Is there anyone out there with a wiring diagram? I had some issue a long...

Thanks, I happened to find a YouTube video on this, I checked the Ohms on the switch, it's fine. I am now thinking that the bulb wiring is part of the 4-wire harness, not a separate pigtail. It just looks like a socket on the back. Bulb is probably just burned out. $55 to fix but what the...

I am chasing down the reason that my 4WD does not engage on my 2002. I'm pretty sure I got a bad remanufactured module from the parts store. While I was chasing down the wiring I happened to pull the dash switch. I have 2 questions: Does anyone know the voltage readings that should come out...

Recently I noticed that my transmission is slipping in reverse? No notable issue in Drive. 2002, well maintained, 175k. I tightened up the servo valve several years ago during a pan drop/filter change. Royal Purple fluid and regular filter/oil changes. Any ideas before I have a shop check it...

Just discovered that my very reliable '02 would not start when left in 4WD high? I drove to the airport in the snow and parked it and intentionally left it in 4WD thinking I might need it to back out. When I returned a day later and turned the key it would crank but not fire? Once I switched...

what is the benefit of an X-plan pin? I see that there is a discount but what is it usually worth?

Its probably the engagement motor on the transfer case. They run about $150. Replaced mine several years ago, problem solved.

Awesome! Take lots of pics and let us know of any issues that you run into. I am planning to do this to mine in the near future so any motor/tranny model numbers would be helpful. Is this a 4WD swap?

That happened to me several years ago. I found out that the 4x4 engagement motor was going bad. Pretty easy to replace and was only around $120. Haven't had an issue since. Before I replaced it I could get it to work if I switched it in and out of 4x4 mode while parked to loosen it up.

Thanks Dan! Sorry about the accident, hope all is going well. I am not immediately in need of a wiring diagram. Just planning for the future. My '02 is still running strong and looking good at 170k. Hopefully I can upgrade to a 5.0 someday to help with the Colorado hills.

Hey Dan if you are still out there? Did you ever get a chance to post your 5.0 swap or at least the wiring diagram/modification that you went through?

Hi, My 2002 fills just fine until the last 5 gallons, then I have to trickle feed it. I don't normally top off the tank like this unless I am on long road trips. It is a little annoying and I realize that some of the extra tank capacity is for safety reasons. I've checked the vent lines and...

How does it look for maintenance access items such as plugs, oil filter, etc?
