Best Answer

A transfer case has 2 out put shafts that face in opisite directons the rear one drives the rear wheels and the forward one, the front wheels. The rear one is the main drive and is in motion anyntime the transmission provides input. When 4X4 is selcted, a shift dog moves an idler gear rearward and engages the two shafts together and 4X4 is the result. To get 4X4 Hi or Low. the selctor simpley moves the idler gear to a bigger or smaller gear on the primary shaft, depending on what speed was selected .

Dodge ram 4x4 work in low range but not high range?

The problem is most likely in the transfer case or the linkage. The transfer case is bolted to the rear of the transmission on that truck. The linkage could be misadjusted, there should be three distinct positions for the transfer case, Neutral, Low and High. If you suspect the linkage disconnect the linkage and manually put the transfer case in each position and try it to see if it works, if it does it's the linkage if not the problem is in the transfer case itself.

How do you remove dodge Dakota transfer case chain?

The Transfer Case chain is located inside of the transfer case. The transfer case is the gearbox located just behind the transmission. It sends power to the front wheels when 4-wheel-drive is selected. To remove the transfer case chain, the transfer case must be removed from the truck, by removing the front and rear drive shafts and unbolting from the transmission (also various connectors for speed sensors, if equipped). The two halves of the transfer case cover housing must be split by removing all the bolts, and several spring clips must be taken off. Unless you have worked on one before, you may want to have the pro's work on this.
