I had an 00 and an 04 with ESOF. The auto hubs were unreliable on both of them and I always turned the hubs to lock to make sure I really was in 4X4.
I ordered my 05 with the manual SOF and that saves you 200 bucks ( Can ) over the ESOF option. Heck, I would pay 200 bucks extra to have good old manual SOF. WHO WANTS TO TRUST A HEATER FAN SWITCH LOOK-ALIKE TO SHIFT YOUR TRANSFER CASE? Not me that nice manual shifter is great. Take care, Wrench.
thanks chuck & yeti for the great info and i will check the vacuum lines & pump. also , i agree with you wrench ,may do the same on the next one i buy!
