You should just be able to put the transmission in neutral, push the 4 Low button and wait a few seconds for engagement.

I started off with an abrasive wheel and quickly switched to a metal cutting blade on my jigsaw. Set to about a 1 inch stroke / cut depth.

Never mind. I read a little deeper in the comments and my question is already answered.

It certainly doesn’t “fix” everyone’s case, but I sure like hearing when it does help someone out. Appreciate your comment!

I’ll make a follow-up video about not drinking the battery juice. 😄 Thanks for your comment!

You’re most welcome @steelergirl1026 !

If your transfer case is still stuck in 4WD high (4HI), there are several potential other causes. Here are some of the most common ones: 1. Transfer Case Motor Failure: The transfer case motor (also known as the actuator) is responsible for shifting the transfer case between different modes (2HI, 4HI, 4LO). If this motor fails or is stuck, it can prevent the transfer case from shifting out of 4HI. 2. Faulty Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM): The TCCM is the electronic brain that controls the transfer case operations. If this module fails, it can send incorrect signals or fail to send any signal to the transfer case motor, causing it to get stuck in 4HI. 3. Wiring or Electrical Issues: Problems with the wiring or electrical connections to the transfer case motor or TCCM can prevent the system from operating correctly. This could be due to damaged wires, corroded connectors, or blown fuses. 4. Shift Linkage Problems: If your Tahoe has a manual shift linkage (as opposed to an electronic system), issues with the linkage itself, such as being bent or stuck, can prevent the transfer case from shifting out of 4HI. 5. Mechanical Issues Inside the Transfer Case: Internal mechanical problems, such as worn gears, broken shift forks, or other damaged components inside the transfer case, can also cause it to be stuck in 4HI. 6. Low Fluid Levels or Contaminated Fluid: If the fluid level in the transfer case is low or the fluid is dirty/contaminated, it can cause the internal components to malfunction, potentially leading to it being stuck in a particular mode. 7. Dashboard Switch Issues: If your Tahoe has a dashboard switch to change between 2HI, 4HI, and 4LO, a problem with this switch (such as a bad connection or faulty switch) can prevent proper shifting. Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Check Fuses: Inspect the fuses related to the transfer case and 4WD system to ensure none are blown. 2. Inspect Electrical Connections: Look at the wiring and connectors to the transfer case motor and TCCM for any signs of damage or corrosion. 3. Listen for Motor Operation: When you try to shift out of 4HI, listen for any sounds from the transfer case motor. If you don’t hear anything, the motor might be faulty. 4. Scan for Trouble Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes that could indicate what part of the system is malfunctioning. 5. Check Transfer Case Fluid: Verify that the fluid in the transfer case is at the correct level and in good condition. Change the fluid if necessary. 6. Inspect Shift Linkage: If applicable, examine the shift linkage for any signs of binding or damage. Depending on your findings, you may be able to address some of these issues yourself, but others might require professional assistance, particularly if internal transfer case repairs or module replacements are needed.

Billy… no useful information for you maybe… but for thousands of others, it resolved their issue. If you’re still having issues… here’s some “useful”information. If your 2002 Chevy Tahoe’s transfer case is stuck in 4-wheel drive high (4HI), there are several potential other causes. Here are some of the most common ones: 1. Transfer Case Motor Failure: The transfer case motor (also known as the actuator) is responsible for shifting the transfer case between different modes (2HI, 4HI, 4LO).

@@jeremy_rigged Thank You

Yes… this particular vehicle is a 2002 Chevy Tahoe LT which is equipped with a 5.3L V8. (The LS version comes with the 4.8L)

All valid points… thanks for your honest commenting!

Agreed… many of my older VWs had a factory access port, as well as my motorhome.

If it’s not just a simple unloading of the transfer case like illustrated in this video… Here are some of the most common issues. Look up each issue online for individual troubleshooting… or consult a paid mechanic. 1. **Transfer Case Motor Failure**: The transfer case motor (also known as the actuator) is responsible for shifting the transfer case between different modes (2HI, 4HI, 4LO). If this motor fails or is stuck, it can prevent the transfer case from shifting out of 4HI. 2. **Faulty Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)**: The TCCM is the electronic brain that controls the transfer case operations. If this module fails, it can send incorrect signals or fail to send any signal to the transfer case motor, causing it to get stuck in 4HI. 3. **Wiring or Electrical Issues**: Problems with the wiring or electrical connections to the transfer case motor or TCCM can prevent the system from operating correctly.

Thanks for watching Jonathan!

Any time DatBoi K.T…. rock on 🤘🏼!!!

You have 3.73 gears. The charts are on the end of the video… your chart is at 3:56 in the video. My apologies, I didn’t follow through on uploads. I should probably do that now! Thanks for watching!

browse the comment section… a few hundred found it helpful, but thanks for commenting.

He is very negative bro continue with the helpful videos we all appreciate them….

@@jeremy_rigged I didn't ask for you to solve my problem, I just said push the button isn't an answer. Because OBVIOUSLY, the only reason someone would watch this video, is because they pushed the button and it didn't work. I appreciate you taking the time to actually attempt to give me workable solutions though, so thank you very much.

I started with a cut-off wheel (badddd idea) but switched to a metal cutting blade on a jigsaw and set the stroke at about 3/4”.

Common sense is a relative term… judging by the amount of comments thanking me for the video… it appears it isn’t as common for some as for others.

Awesome Freddy! Thanks for watching.

Thank you and I’m happy to hear the video was useful! Thanks for commenting Jason!

Happy to help Geoff!

Beers are always welcome! 🍻
