THE PUSH BUTTON 4-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH WORKS PART TIME. THE COMPUTER CAN BE RESET AND IT WILL WORK FOR A WHILE. AT TIMES YOU CAN BECOME STUCK IN 2-HI, 4-HI, AND EVEN 4-LO. THE CONNECTION AT THE SHIFT MOTOR/ENCODER WAS REMOVED, CLEANED, COATED WILL DIELECTRIC GEL, AND THE BOLT THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE WAS COATED WITH LOCTITE. THIS CURED PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN PERFORMED THREE TIMES INWHICH IT ONLY CURED THE PROBLEM FOR A MINIMAL TIME. I HAVE SPOKE WITH DEALERS IN THE AREA AND THEY KNOW NOTHING. I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I VIEWED THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTES AND NOTICED MANY HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS(ODI ID-531922, 538102, 985135,472910). THIS MIGHT BE EXPECTED IF OFFROADED HARD, MY TRUCK IS USED AS A TRUCK BUT NOT ABUSED. PLEASE HELP.

IN HIGH HEAT OF TEXAS (SINCE MY MOVE HERE LST SUMMER), IT SEEMS MY TRANSMISSION COOLER CLICKS INTO SERVICE AS DESIGNED WHEN ENGINE TEMPS GET TOO HOT, MY SPEED DECREASES BUT I CAN HEAR MY ENGINE REVS INCREASING, BUT I LOSE ALL DRIVE POWER WHEN IT DOES, IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN TEMPS ARE ABOVE THE MID 90S, LAST TIME I WAS PULLING MY TRAILER AT 65 MPH GOING UP A SHORT HILL ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND I LOST ALL POWER BEFORE GETTING TO THE TOP, MY SPEED DECREASED TO 30 MPH, I HAD NO WAY TO WARN DRIVERS BEHIND ME, WHO ERE GOING 65+, THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN, MY FEAR IS SOMEONE WOULD RAM INTO MY REAR END ..... HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW, IF, AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD, THERE IS NOT A DEFECT, THEN IT SEEMS WE HAVE A HUGE DESIGN FLAW
