Mate, you're making me not to do mine, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Now, should I???

I'm glad i asked the question about the recall,i think i will wait a bit longer before deciding whether to get it or not.

It's been about 4 weeks since my recall & so far so good.

I think its worth remembering this isn't a voluntary recall, its a safety recall.

I wonder how your insurance company would react if you were in an accident & you didn't have a known safety issue fixed?

Good point, but if I had issues with low range after installing the SuperChips tune back on, that'd drive me crazy.

Try This
 

Ok time to eat my words :mad:
Went back to Mt Airly today, aired down & drove half way to Mt Genowlan where the graded section stops & the old metal ramps are over the rocks & NO LOW RANGE :evil:, had to bail, disappointed isn't a big enough word for how I felt.:hammer::wall:

Ok so I got home & decided to investigate possible causes.
Removed shifter & pulled apart the low range selector, re-soldered all joints (the housing the board is held in had an inch long crack in it)

Put it back together, started the engine, selected neutral & tried 4Low & "Service 4wd System".

Unplugged the electrical connector to the transfer case motor, cleaned it up & blasted it with compressed air & still no luck. :wall:

I was about to give up & call the stealership :rolleyes:

this did not work for me the second time it failed. Code needs to be cleared.

I couldn't hear if the transfer case motor was trying to engage or not over the engine so with the engine off, Ignition on (all the lights on on the dash) & the gear shifter in neutral I tried 4Low again. I could hear the transfer case motor start & 4Low engaged, I couldn't beleave it, I could have done this on the trail :)-(:

Now it is all back to normal, 4Low engages when engine running & no dash fault.

So if you cant get 4Low try the above procedure you never know, make sure you cycle the key to clear the "Service 4wd System" before hand.
I would be interested to know if this works for anybody else

stopped working now code needs to be cleared

Pity you went all that way and didn't get to play :(

I'm still not sure if I wanna get it done, as I run SuperChips in mine and from what I read above, doesn't seem good. Is anyone else running SC after the recall???

Had mine done about 2 weeks ago. First time I tried to engage 4wd LO, light came up "service 4wd system".
Took it to the dealer yesterday. They re flashed it. Now working ok.
I will be watching it and checking daily just in case.
They did not charge me for re doing it. (AHG Melville WA)
