the manual transfer case shift on the floor?

I have a 91 Chevy 4x4 with the transfer case shift on the floor. It has been very dependable.

I now have a chance to buy a 2010 Reg Cab 4x4, but it has an electronic transfer case switch on the dash. Does anybody have this? Are they dependable, or should I look for a truck with the shift on the floor?

Thank you.

the floor shifts work best
anything electronical is made to break or fail
i personal like the floor shift but ive known people with the eletric and they had no problems.....yet

 

I had two work trucks in a row, for a combined total of 17 years. They both had the floor shift for the transfer case. What I never liked about them was in cold weather (Michigan's U.P.), you really had to reef on that shift stick to get it to come back into 4 wheel drive. During that time my wife had a Blazer for 9 years with the electronic shift. No problems, and you just turn a little dial and you're in 4x4. My latest truck is a 2010 Silverado ext cab 4x4 and I chose the electronic shift.

 

hello i have a 97 chevy with push button 4wd and it is crap i cant get it to work at all and cant find out whats wrong with it trying to swap it out fir a floor shifter does any one know what that all consist of ?

 

I have the electronic shift on a 99 z71. Knock on wood I've never had a problem with it. My friend had one that went out because those switches don't like water or dirt but he replaced the switch(easy fix). I would have rathered the floor, but i would buy the truck your looking at.

 

ive heard of lots of problems with them being ran by a vacum line, and it coming off, and the electronic components getting wet. but i personally havent had a problem with the switch

 

any input on that?

 

I have a question, I recently bought a '91 1500 silverado and my transfer case busted when I put it in 4wd. I know nothin on pricing or anything for this, could someone give me some input on what I'm looking at?
