HELP....Transfer case swap 2001 V6 automatic

I have been wrestling with a faulty transfer case activation motor for some time now. It only works occasionally. Need a new one but I'm not prepared to spend the 2 thousand dollars the stealer wants to replace it especially given the fact I just spent 600 replacing the front diff motor,

I have removed it and cleaned the brushes, re greased the contacts etc but still no reliability. Have read many posts about similar issues but I am unable to find anything relating to a swap. No more electric motor and no more problem

My truck has a shifter with a button on the side that activates the electric motor on the case. I would prefer to swap in a case that is manually shifted. Apparently it will bolt up but will it do the job and still operate the automatic diff motor? Any help advice much appreciated.

Thanks

 

Try in 1st gen if your truck is a 2001. Sorry I can't help.
