Ok, just got a new mode fork installed in my NP208 (t-case pulled by me, fixed by a local shop for $150 labor, t-case installed by me). Lot's of sweat invested in getting this thing fixed and all the t-case oil leaks stopped. Works like new!
With that said, my experience with the NP208 for the last 30 years is that I am always a bit apprehensive going into or out of 4WD. A failure either way could make for a very long day. Always a bit of a fight, playing with the transmission, brakes, make truck roll a bit, etc before the t-case finally accepts the command to shift.
Does anyone have any really good way to make the NP208 shift? Leave truck in neutral, drive, slow roll, etc? Am all ears, do not want to replace any shift forks for the next couple of years...
