Trouble shooting a 2speed electric rear end. It will not shift from low to high range. Anybody know how to test the motor in the 2 speed unit to see if it is good,or what else might be wrong? secon@cqservices.com

Been many a year since I worked on one. The motor is reversable when you reverse polarity. There is a switch inside that turns the motor off when the screw travels all the way. They are easy to work on & contain no suprises. The switch on the gearshift is readily available. You fill it to the bottom of the plug with 10 weight oil. smile


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Like he said, it is a reversible ground system. Quickest way to check it, is get a jumper battery and 2 wires. Unhook the wires coming from the truck frame, at the 2 wire posts, on the rear end motor. Touch a hot and ground wire from the battery to the 2 posts, doesn't matter which is plus or negative. The motor should move depending on which way you touch the wires. If it doesn't, reverse the wires and try again. If it moves this time, reverse the wires and see if it moves the other way. Most of the time if it runs either way, but won't reverse, the problem is in the contact switch under the cover. Make sure the driveshaft is in neutral, to keep the shaft from being loaded, stopping the motor from switching.
