Re: Super Select problem

Well I don't know what the problem is. The next time I turned the van on the lights worked again. I haven't tried putting it into 4wd since, but the lights are back to normal. Weird. last time I put it into 4wd I drove a short distance in 4H and noticed it was hard to steer (I could turn the wheel e...

Re: Super Select problem

Verified I can get it in and out of all the gears. But after switching between 4LLoc, 4HLoc, 4H, my green lights for the wheels stopped working. The orange center loc still turns on, but the green lights are all out

great...

Re: Super Select problem

The transmission does not allow the driver to shift in and out of 4Hi Lock and 4Lo Lock unless the vehicle is stopped. Trying to force this gear shift while moving usually breaks things in short order. I went back and checked the shifter handle on my Transfer Case and a few others like this one onl...

Trails near Vancouver/Sea to Sky

With a recent "problem" with my Super Select, I would like to give my 4wd system a nice warm up because I think it hasn't been used much recently. Where can I go near greater Vancouver/sea to sky area that is safe (i.e. not an active FSR with constant logging trucks) and isn't too difficul...

you may not even need the wood block if you get an adjustable jack.
If i can avoid buying another jack i may prefer that :)

Re: Air Sound

I use the o/d button on my L300 quite often. I judge use by my RPM. Turning off the o/d raises the RPM around 300-400. So I don't use it if I'm close to redline. Running down hills I turn it off (o/d) before my speed picks up. I use that to maintain downhill speed. Also, if you can read your manual...

Re: Super Select problem

If its difficult to shift into 4Lo try pushing the transfer case lever down while shifting left and then hard to the right. this will usually loosen the linkage which can get stiff from lack of use. I tried this with my own L400 while I typed this up just to confirm operation and my Japanese Manual...

Re: Super Select problem

I saw that, but I have no trouble shifting to all the gears EXCEPT low. I shift while in neutral, then drive forward/reverse to make the green or orange light stop blinking. BUT I cant get to 4 LOW

Everything else shifts fine

Super Select problem

I am having troubles with my super select system. I can shift into 2H, 4H and 4HLc but cannot shift into 4LLc. I have tried reversing/driving forward in a straight line, as well as pushing forward hard to shift it. Is there a secret to shifting to 4LLc? I noticed the diagram on the shifter doesn't c...

Bottle jack

I'm planning on putting a lift (2") and bigger tires (31") this spring. What height of bottle jack would I need once this is done? I only have the stock jack and I want to upgrade sometime soon. I saw at Canadian tire they have an assortment, but what is the min-max height I should get? TIA

Re: Air Sound

Also, when I am driving down a steep hill, how can I use the engine to slow myself down? "D" is too fast, "2" is too low. Would turning O/D off help me? I do this so much I'm worried about wearing the switch out (not really). Anytime I have excess speed, even when a light turns ...

ct.
I was doing a lot of up hill

Is it a bad thing when it dumps the air like that?
