Are there transfer cases for the 2000 Chevy truck?

There were 5 transfer cases available in the 2000 model year (BW4401, BW4407, NVG-241-NP2, NVG-243-NP1, & NVG-246-NP8), also there was the auto transmission and the manual transmission available. Before you claim my bad advise, why did you post a bulletin for a specific vehicle with those options before finding out if it fit his truck?

What’s the difference between two wheel drive and 2HI?

2Hi: 2Hi can also simply be referred to as two-wheel-drive, and it’s the most commonly used option. In two-wheel-drive, your truck’s system delivers all of its torque to the rear differential, allowing each rear wheel to receive half of the available power. Once switched into 4WD, each tire will receive a quarter of that power.

Is the 2000 Z71 a GMT800 truck?

The 2000 Z71 should be the GMT800 truck and that bulletin would not apply. I did find a bulletin for the transfer case module, but there are specific diagnostic trouble codes for the bulletin to apply. You need to have the transfer case module scanned for codes. If you can, post the DTCs when you get them, and I might be able to help further.

Why does my 4 wheel drive stop working?

Not open for further replies. My 4 wheel drive recently stopped working properly. It is a 95 4 door Blazer electronic shift vacuum actuated. I replaced the vacuum actuator just recently before the snow fell. The lights flash when I turn the key on like they are supposed to.

Why is my 4 wheel drive light not engaging?

If you don’t shift it into neutral, the 4wd light will continue to flash and won’t get into gear. Seems to be a common occurrence on these trucks. Dodge dealers recommend engaging 4-lo, then back in 2-wheel drive, then back in 4-wheel drive hi (4H). This sequence apparently resolves the problem.

Is there a 4 wheel drive dash switch?

Truck has a 4 high, and 4 low dash switch. The switch has a green light indicator for high position, and orange light for low. Lights may sometimes burn in two wheel drive without pushing switch, they may burn one or the other, may both burn at same time, or not at all like it should be in two wheel drive position.

What is the shifting solenoid on a Chevy S10?

The shifting solenoid on a Chevrolet S-10 pick-up is designed to regulate when the transmission shifts. This solenoid is part of the electronic transmission control system, and is controlled by the powertrain control module, or PCM. The PCM actuates the shifting solenoid when it determines that an upshift or downshift is required.

Why is my 4×4 not working at all?

When it came time to leave for the day, 4hi was no longer working. The only thing I can think of is that the metal plate inside the diaphragm has weakened and it will continue to bend. So I am going to get a new one as it has a warranty and see what happens.

So what is that 4 wheel drive indicator blinking on your dashboard means? The purpose of the 4 wheel drive light is to indicate when you have engaged 4WD mode by selecting 4H.

Why is my truck not engaging into 4 Hi?

Start the engine and put the vehicle in 4 Low and observe what the shifter module motor does. If the motor rotates and is working, then the issue lies within the transfer case. If the motor only turns a little and mostly turns on 4 HI, then I recommend replacing the shifter module motor to the transfer case.

Why does my 4 wheel drive not engage?

The transfer case could pose another reason why your 4 wheel drive fails to engage. This could be due to the vehicle not coming to a complete stop to allow it to engage. This is because the splined pin and gears of the actuator need to align 100% with the gears inside the transfer case.
