Need some help with my transfer case linkage rod.It fell off due to bad bushings. I replaced the bushings and linkage rod. I see there is a locating hole on the floor shift lever, but I do not know what position that would be in. How do I go about adjusting the transfer case linkage rod. Here is a picture of what my looks like.

Anyone with a FSM? to look for me.

No help with FSM but I had the same problem on my '06. I knew the transfer case was in 2hi so had my wife make sure the shifter stayed in 2hi while I installed the rod and locked it down.

I found this in my 06 service manual. ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT - SHIFT LEVER
1. Move shift lever into 2H position.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Loosen shift rod lock bolt at trunnion.
4. Check shift rod fit in trunnion. Be sure rod does not bind in trunnion. Lubricate the shift rod and trunnion if nec-
essary.
5. Verify that transfer case shift lever is in 2H detent position. The 2H detent position on the transfer case shift arm
is the second position from full forward.
6. Align the adjustment locating hole on the lower shifter lever with the adjustment channel on the shifter bracket
assembly.
7. Insert an appropriately sized pin through into the adjustment channel and through the locating hole to hold the
shifter in the correct position.
8. Tighten shift rod lock bolt to 10 N·m (90 in. lbs.) torque.
9. Remove the locating pin from the adjustment channel and locating hole.
10. Check shift linkage operation. Be sure transfer case shifts into and operates properly in all ranges.

BTW, I will sell the 2006 Ram service manual on CD. Sold the truck and no longer need it. I will sell it cheap if anyone wants it. It has a parts catalog and owners manual on it too IIRC. PM me.

Thanks for the info, I will try it
Thanks Bob
