4x4 low range won't engage.

Any ideas on why my 2001 F-250 7.3L won't go into 4x4 low range? 4x4 high range works just fine however.

How are you engaging it? Are you stopping and putting the tranny in neutral?

Stupid question. Are you saying you cant get in 4l just because light does not come one or have you put in 4l and drove and noticed gearing did not chage?

4 lo

I had this same problem when I first bought my Superduty. What I found out was you had to be stopped, in neutral, foot on the brake, and then wait up to 45 seconds for the stupid thing to shift.

Sounds retarded, I know, but I actually resorted to reading the owners manual, and Wallah, it worked.

I still hate that stupid electronic transfer case to this day, but it works for now I guess.

Anyway, you might give that a try.
