    I wouldn't hire that joker to do any electrical work on my house.

    Did you call and ask if this is something simple that you can fix yourself? I would think it’s an air line that’s not connected in the right place.

    Thats what I tried. But I think the hose on the left side can be switched to the hole behind it but want to make sure before I go through the process. Been around trucks a while but never seen this issue to tackle. Mechanic knows less about it than I do.

    As someone else mentioned a 15 speed knob will split in low so the splitter will lock out on the high side.you could probably modify the splitter knob and replumb the shifter knob but it's so much easier to replace with the correct knob or rebuild the 13 speed knob theres just a couple o rings springs and a poppet ball inside them

    I remember something about switching the lines on the low range servo to make this work right. Re-plumbing the shifter is a PIA and takes too much time.

    You can #### around for days trying to make your 15 speed knob work (and it won't. Ever). @wore out nailed it. Keep screwing around with it and your wallet will be $7k lighter after you buy a new transmission.

    And have fun splitting a 15 speed. Its impossible. Its a 10 speed with 5 extra gears slightly lower than low range (called deep reduction).
