Thanks for the video, what is that hose 1:41

Hey, the rod got pushed further than what you had on your video. Is that fine?

Thank you. You saved me $3,900.00 in repairs. You will need grease if you do it alone. Mt son and I knocked this out in about an hour, great video!

Did the transfer actuator work as per normal after the reset to two wheel drive

you probably should have done a zero.point.recalibration any time work is done on the vehicle

thanks great video

Thanks my friend very very nice video thank u

Saved my ass today at work thanks bro gr8 explanation

Thanks man you’re life saver

So much for reliable. These cars really suck when they do.

how do i bleed the brakes ? 😅

On my 2016 trd sport, Transfer case oil is getting into the actuator box. Is this normal? Is the small tube to let oil in or out?

Hi . Do you get the same code that i got ?? P17A0 😊

The fact that anyone has to go through this on their 4WD system is ridiculous.

Great video! Thank you

I have second gen tundra and I’m buying a new transfer case, but it doesn’t come with the shift motor. Can that rod be pulled out and put in the new transfer case without taking the whole unit apart?

2004 4 runner , I engage 2wd to 4 wd hi and to low every month, from day one. So far so good. Time will tell. Great information

Well done! Only comment I would make/suggest would be to clean the reservoir and use new brake fluid before assembling. Like the fact that you included priming the master cylinder before re-installing. I got bit by this - but just once!

Yeah, but didn’t you just put contaminated fluid into a new master cylinder? I thought anytime you were changing a cylinder you had to use fresh fluid to eliminate any prior contamination.

Question is this the same setup as say an 04 Toyota 4runner 4.7l v8. Cause i think my wifes was failing for a long time it sucked in snow then it could only move in 4 low. Then i tried to move it to my project pile but it wouldn't move at all says its in 4low with diff lock on but won't move at all and sometimes grinds id you try to put it in gear. I had this cover off the transfer case actuator but i had no red gear just those other three gears. I tried to take them off and remove the actuator but it wouldn't budge even gently with a pry bar.

Always check if the breather line is properly attached to the actuator. If not water get inside and corrode the contacts....giving solid or intermittent problems.

I hope this method works for a 2006 Ram. Man, I hate dealerships so much; highway robbery! This is so easy. I’m a lady and confident I can to do this myself. *hair flip* Thank you for the detailed instructions!😁😎👍

Well I’m in the stealership right now with the same problem. Only 16,000 on the truck so luckily still under warranty. I snuck back into the service bay to have a look and they had the entire transfer case on the floor. The service tech says it’s a bad actuator, but I can’t understand the need to drop the entire transfer case!!

FUUUUUCK, I skipped to 1:17 and was watching super chill following along....Then all of a sudden you're taking the actuator off with both hands and pointing with your third hand .....trippy af.

One of the most helpful video thanks!

Teks nya gak ada ya?.... Sangat bermanfaat🙏👍

Was having similar issues with my 19 taco(6sp manual) with only 11K, as can be seen in a couple prior recent comments. Here is a CRAZY update which I have absolutely no explanation for. As I’ve mentioned,I removed , inspected, lubed and reinstalled the actuator. It worked a few times but went right back to either not going into 4l, or if it does it won’t come out. TRY THIS! FULLY DEPRESS AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH PEDAL 2 TIMES. As you are releasing the pedal the second time, it will click in(or out) I could not believe this when I was told by my local Toyota shop manager. He has no explanation and just found this out. I immediately thought BS, but happy I did not flip out on him . I tried it and it works perfectly every time going into and coming out of 4 low. Sorry I do not know what to tell the owners of automatics.

Thank You for this Tim. Been having this same issue with my 19 sport (3 pedal) with only 11k. The Toyota procedure for replacing the actuator involves removing and splitting the case. Why? Absolutely no reason I can see. Everything inside the case gets plenty of lubricant and the “sticking” issue is not inside that I can see . Though You fixed the immediate problem, I would like to figure out “what” is causing it? I’ve seen some that actually have to bump the shift shaft in with a hammer(rubber mallet) to get it freed up. So I’m thinking gob a generous amount of maybe some of that white lithium type grease in the area where it goes through the case from the actuator side . Gonna give it a try today and see what happens. Nothing to lose. And thanks again.

nice video

Thanks much for taking the time and effort to do this video! It is 10 degrees here now and I was stuck in low range. 2017 Tacoma standard. I searched quite awhile for info on resolving this issue. Your video is the only one that explains exactly what must be done. I down loaded the factory service manual and it was no help. I am 74 and well experienced in working on all sorts of mechanical devices, having worked professionally as a motorcycle mechanic for 15 years, still working on cars, trucks and tractors, and motorcycles! You definitely saved me on this cold day working in an unheated garage, snowing blowing outside. Feeding cattle a round bale earlier this morning on my cab less tractor was cold with the wind chill. It is quite amazing what can be found on the internet, done by people like you! thanks!

Good job explaining the process. I was able to understand the whole video and I'm no mechanic.

My 2022 gets stuck in 4H

Did u used new parts or same parts, just relocating?

Yea, when ours goes, I'm bypassing with a lever through the floor........

I just opened the actuator on my 2008 4Runner, the 2 big gears fell off and can't figure out how to put back in. I randomly put the gear back and now the 4WD lights is always ON blinking no matter how I turn the selector switch. This video will definitely help me with the timing. Will open the actuator again tomorrow. Thanks a lot.

Where you able to drive under 60mph in 4H?

Hey so I'm having issues with my 2022 Tacoma. When I switch it to 4hi it engages but the light keeps blinking. Do u think this will fix issues?

Now, put some gas in that damned thing and get your TPMS sensors replaced, LOL.

Also, notice how the vent hose is split a little on the end. This is the failure of a lot of these units. The hose splits over time and falls off, then water gets into the unit. This would be a good time to snip a little off the end of the hose before reinstalling. I've done this once on my truck as a preventive measure since it was split, but not to the point of failure. It looks like on the 3rd gens, they left the vent hose plenty long to accommodate this. Check your ADD actuator and rear diff locker for this as well, if your truck is equipped with them. Great video!

Very informative video

I'm curious, where did you learn the information regarding the correct timing for the gears? Do you have a source to share? I looked up factory service manual information from the Toyota Tech Info website and did see anything about taking apart the actuator.

Dealership wanted $1,000 Think ima do it myself now. Thanks

Thanks, man. I'm going to try this on my 4th gen 4Runner. Wish me luck!

Just put in reverse and slowly back up and should unlock out of 4Lo

my truck doesn't have any leaks and my brake boot is new and my pedal keeps going to the floor. what do you think it could be?

Very nice video my 2005 Tacoma was always a little touchy going into 4W LO and once I had a difficult time getting it out of that mode and almost had to park it and possibly have it towed I always tried to at least cycle the 4WD once a month to keep everything moving inside the actuators both on the transfer case and front differential but now all I have is 4W HI and there are times when I could use LO because my truck has the 2.7 4cyl and 5 speed not much in the Horsepower department lol

My 2016 was stuck in 4lo I did what you showed its back in 2wd now but when I try to shift in 4wd it only blinks do u think my actuator is bad?

Thanks for the video, it helped
