Transfer case shifter arm boot orientation
I've seen this transfer case shifter boot installed two different ways and I'm trying to determine which way is correct.
I believe it is supposed to go with the thicker part at the top of the boot facing rearward. I can't find any pictures to show that this is the right way. Pictures would be helpful too. Thanks. This picture in the LMC catalogue shows it the other way.

Re: Transfer case shifter arm boot orientation
yer going to be hard pressed to find someone that can swear to that level of detail on something where the functional difference is so insignificant and even the aesthetic difference is so slight.. also finding enough vehicles that are known to either have never had the boot removed or had the boot removed but know it to be the correct orientation..
dealer pictures, brochures, parts and service manuals may provide enough to draw a conclusion.. you might try Joesjunk, Keith Seymore, Chevyland?? or any of these guys with a dozen truck listed under their names ![]() for what it's worth both of my suburbans are opposite of each other, or at least the white one looks like it's facing the other way.. but it's kinda mushy looking like it may not even be oe or an oe part so who knows.. and I certainly don't know enough history on these to swear either of them are factory oriented.. if I was to hazard a guess, since the lever leans forward in 2H, I would think the top of the boot would lean the same way so the lever is perpendicular to the hole, like my blue one.. good luck! ![]() ![]()

Re: Transfer case shifter arm boot orientation
I'll check with joesjunk. I know he has some 4X4's. In the meantime if anyone knows, chime in. I've had no luck when checking service manual and assembly manual.

Re: Transfer case shifter arm boot orientation
Thanks for your input Jamie. This is the way I believe it should be.

Re: Transfer case shifter arm boot orientation
The one in my 72 was mounted the same as the blue ring in Killer Bee's post and tim71's. Can look to see if original and has markings on Monday.
