After a lot of fun in mud and water this past weekend here in Michigan where we've had a crapload of rain and a lot of backroads that don't absorb it, apparently my NSBU decided that it didn't like being submersed in water. :incazzato: The gear indicator in the DIC didn't work right and finally last night, I got a "Shift Range Inhibited" and only had use of Reverse and 1st gear.
Long story short, I stopped at Merchant and grabbed a new NSBU from Jen, and just finished installing it tonight in about 6 minutes flat. :ihih:
Tools needed: 13mm wrench or socket, 15mm wrench or socket, approximately 4 or 5 beers (you choose the flavor).
Put the truck in Neutral and set the parking brake. First remove the 15mm nut that holds the shift lever in place on the side of the NSBU (make sure it doesn't kick out of Neutral while breaking it loose). Next remove the two 13mm bolts that hold the NSBU on the side of the transmission. Pull the old NSBU off carefully, and put the new one back on carefully. Tighten the nut and bolts back down in the order removed, start the truck to make sure everything is as it should be, and VOILA! :sifone:
You just fixed your NSBU, not nearly as scary as it may seem, TRUST ME!
