This is probably stupid but how do u put the damn push button in low 4 wheel drive . In 2 high its just push the button but for low i guess i nees some directions as i sat there over and over trying to get it in low. hmm. Any help from someone who knows/ thx guys.
 
Neutral

Foot on brake

If a manual trans, clutch in.
 
If that doesn't work check the bracket. You remove the cover of the lever shifters and remove the bolt and adjust it. Mine didn't want to shift into 4 low until i found it.
 
As others have said, completly stop the truck, put in in nuetral (auto tranny) or clutch in with tranny in nuetral (manual tranny) and then push the button.
I'm not positive abotu the tranny being in nuetral for manuals, but I'm pretty sure that is why the nuetral safety is there (as well as other reasons).

If it still doesn't go in, you have larger problems...
 
a manual trans doesnt have to be in nuetral, just stopped with the clutch in.
 
the "nuetral safety switch" on the M5OD is actually the backup light switch.

my truck had e-shift originally, i never took it out of gear.
 
In any transmission, Neutral. Clutch depressed. Complete stop. Press button.

It works the same for a GM Blazer too. Thou I do like push-buttom 2hi & 4hi. Just press at any speeds. 4lo tends to be tricky. It will sometimes not engage unless I roll at least another foot or engage reverse first before placing it in neutral.

Click to expand...

There are two switches on an M5OD. One is reverse lights the other is some sort of neutral switch.. Dunno what it does, but there is definatly a second one on there.
 
And also know that it takes a few seconds to drop in, it's not instant like going into 4hi or 2hi...
 
I'm pretty sure the 2.9 M5ODs don't have the neutral switch. At least the one in my '90 BII didn't.

I believe all the 4.0 ones do.

I think I remember AllanD saying the neutral sense switch was used for emissions/idle circuit?
 
except for Jspafford's is a 2.9 and he says it has two (or maybe he hasnt checked HIS truck).

and BlackBII has a 4.0 and he only has one switch.

my trucks a 3.0 and only has one switch.
