If you look on the diagram, you can disconnect part #3 and manually put it back into 2 HI. I just broke the same part on my truck and it costs about $280 if you go to Ford for it. The best thing to do is look on Cragislist or put a want ad on Craigslist. I ended up getting a few offers and bought a new part for $100.

I also see your in MA lol, If your near Billerica, theres a junkyard there that has a bunch in stock for $50 or $100 if they take it off the truck.

would one off a transfer case from a gasser work? cause if so i have one and i will sell it for 30+ shipping if i can get it off

As far as I know, it is the same, hopefully someone will chime in on this. I would certainally buy it from you if-so.

Its actually pretty easy to take off...the linkage just pops off with a screw driver, remove 2 - T50 torx bolts to unbolt it, and take the shift knob off and pull the whole thing down and out.

So long as its the same push down aluminum shaft POS shifter mecanism then sure it'll work just fine. I hate those things though. I don't understand why they didn't stay with the simple pin and plate design the late 80's early 90's trucks had. Those aluminum shifter tubes ALWAYS break. Dont feel bad, people will say, DONT BE SO ROUGH ON IT, but they are just an extremely ****** design. I guess the pin and plate was too good and Ford wasn't making any money since they never had to service them.

can you swap the old style onto the new style? cause the one i have is off a 89 model, but i do have a 93 model truck with the t-case out of it if i can find it

You will have to swap everything, and I mean everything from one to the other. But yes you can.

i believe you just need to swap the shifter and the linkage to change back to the old style

 

[BlueBreadTruck]

still need the linkage.....I would really just like the new style that I have now, cause it is easier for me to bolt in.

Anyone have it?

take these things off the truck once a year, knock the pins out and clean them...load them with grease and you can shift them with one finger without getting stuck or breaking. I shattered one last year and had to get another. I took it apart, cleaned it and put it back on the truck....no problems yet!
