Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and, please, next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the transfer case shift motor on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. It's the same part and similar process on these Suburbans from 2000 to 2002. The items you'll need for this are a new transfer case shift motor from 1AAuto.com, 15mm socket and ratchet, 11mm wrench, a marker and jack and jack stands.
Start off by removing these four 15mm bolts, and we'll just fast forward as Mike does this. Once those are removed that pan will pull forward, and then you want to come up here and remove these four 11mm bolts. We'll fast forward as Mike uses an 11mm wrench and an extra wrench to give him some added leverage. Mark right here and right here, so you can line these up again the same way when you put it back, and then up by your transfer case shift motor just pull back this cover, and then you want to just pull the driveshaft out and then lift it up. It should pull out, and then just push this side toward the outside of the vehicle.
Pull up on the tab on the harness and disconnect it, and then pull this other harness just up and out. It's easiest to use a flat blade screwdriver and just pry down on the tab and disconnect the harness. Then, remove these three 15mm bolts. Now, you can pull the transfer case shift motor back, and then, down and out.
On the left, is the old transfer case shift motor; on the right, is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Remove this plastic cover and then you just want to pull this gasket off your old transfer case shift motor and transfer it over to your new one. Wipe down the area where your transfer case shift motor goes, and then reconnect the two harnesses for your transfer case shift motor. Then you just kind of set the motor up there.
You'll want to put your new motor in the same position as the truck was when you took it apart. In this case, ours was in 2 Hi, so we select the 2 Hi button, shut the key off and you can hear the motor switch, and then turn the key back on and it will indicate that it's now in 2 Hi, and so we can proceed. You should be able to push it into place. Now replace those three 15mm bolts and tighten them up. You want to torque those to about 45 foot-pounds. Now, push that harness back into place, and then, push your driveshaft back into place, and set it back in, making sure those dots line up that you marked earlier. Then, push this cover back into place and replace those two 11mm bolts on the bottom and the two 11mm bolts on the top, along with those brackets that they hold in place. We'll just fast forward as Mike does this.
Now, you just want to put that plate back up into place and replace and tighten up those 15mm bolts. Once you've done that, you're all set.
