1994 k2500 t-case problem?

[devildogadam]

Was cruising down the road with cruise control set at 65 mph then it just popped nice and loud and was like it was in neutral no forward or reverse gears. No 4-hi no 2-hi. But when I put the shifter in the neutral position it was in 4 low but with just rear? Wtf? Then pushed it down into 4 low and the 4x4 light came on and it was in 4 low. Drove it down the shoulder about a mile and it popped out of 4 low. But then I had 2 hi again. Made it about 5 miles and she popped out again only this time when I shifted back to the 2 hi position it was in that weird 2 low that this t-case is not supposed to have? A bit more shifting got me into 2 hi and I limped it to a shell gas station.

Does anybody have a clue what this could be. I am dumbfounded?

Check to see if it is low on oil. Sounds like the nylons inside the transfer case are shot.

 

[devildogadam]

Will do. These take dextron III correct?

 

[THEFERMANATOR]

Dex 3 or a 5W30 diesel motor oil. Heres the nylons. You will also need a gasket for the trans to transfer case, a tube of grey silicone to seal the 2 halves together, and I would put new input seals i nthe transfer case while it's out.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead. I experienced something similar to this and after a transmission shop sold me on having my tranny rebuilt and still having problems, it ended up being the transfer cases shift fork. Turns out the transfer case I had had an older style fork that looked like it was made of bent sheet metal. The newer style transfer cases had what looked to be more of a cast fork. I have a picture somewhere back home but I'm deployed. I hope this helps someone out. My transfer case would shift into neutral at what seemed like random times and was getting to the point of being dangerous such as when on inclines. I'm glad my Wife wasn't driving my truck at the time.

By the way, I also have the 94 K2500 but with the 6 bolt hubs.
