From 4high won’t shift into 2high but will shift into 4 auto and then back to 2high
I have an 05 Silverado 5.3 4x4 with auto, push buttons.
When I bought the truck 2 years ago the guy said he replaced the encoder shift motor on the transfer case. I was driving it for about 2 months then that shift motor went out and I was stuck in neutral. I pulled the front driveshaft and took the shift motor off and when pushing the buttons it was making sounds but not turning. I replaced it with another one I bought and then everything was working good. This was last year.
Now comes winter time I put it into 4wd and shifts perfect and then when I want to go back to 2wd it just blinks and wont shift. I then press 4 auto and it shifts into it and then from 4 auto I push 2high and it shifts into it. Is there any recommendations for fixing this?? I don't know what to do if my shift motors keep going out. I changed the switch buttons already and the front actuator. Changed the fluid with 2 quarts of auto trek II.
When it shifts it's smooth. Just won't go from 4high to 2high And worried about being stuck up camping in 4wd. Please any help
