So I have the d/r in my GL-10, but i just noticed that my GL-10 (push button) has only a 4 pin white connector and a black connector. my d/r has a 6 pin white connector. this car is equipped with the digi dash. would love to keep it.

 

i did notice there was a way to switch the connectors on the transmissions themselves which would make it match up, but their are less wires on the push button harness than the d/r.

 

please tell me what the hell i should do.

 

thanks,

just realized how confusing my last post was. so basically the electrical connectors from the dual range trans do not match up to the electrical connectors on my car. what to do is my question.

The d/r has a low range, which the push button does not. There is a light on the dash for this, which is probably what the extra wire is for. You should be able to get the 4wd indicator and the reverse lights to work, just the '4lo' light won't turn on without wiring up that last pair of wires. It will still go into 4lo, just won't turn on the indicator light.

 

Nothing to worry about imo. The other wires should connect just fine. It may take a little swapping over of harnesses, but it's nothing you can't do in five minutes.

ok so swap the harness from the old trans onto the d/r. i saw that this looked like it would work, but i wasnt sure since it is a different trans all together. i really do appreciate the input! was sweating having to scratch the digi dash. i just love it too much haha.

Yeah, when I swapped mine last fall I just swapped over the harness. It will disconnect from both trannies and swap over. There will be one or two bits left hanging loose, but as long as the backup-lights work and the 4wd indicator works you're good to go. No worries!

 

Mine wasn't a digi-dash, but as long as the wire mater thingies match up it shouldn't be a problem.

There is a nuetral position switch for pushbutton but not for d/r shouldent make any diff

got the d/r in there. everything under the hood assembled. she turned over, the gears shift, the axles turn, and the digi dash works....stlll not sure about the speedo yet. waitin for some new rear axles (since my others were stuck in my old rear diff) but i should have it rolling by monday. got the 6 lug hubs i drilled on the front. and my BOSS 2" lift on the back. hopefully ill get the front of the lift on tomorrow....might have to call Bill to get some pointers on the easiest way to get the strut tops on. besides that everything is coming again nicely.

 

thanks so much again for the help with the wiring!
