ok so i went to go pull my buddys jeep out of the big ass rut he was stuck in.. of course not before i had time to hit some mud myself. went to actually do the pull and throw it into 4 low.. it made a loud crackle noise... i went to put it in park to check it out and all of a sudden it started grinding really bad. no drive or reverse gear... put it in neutral and back into 2wd. have gears again, put it into 4 high and it drives as it should.. no funny noises...

what the hell could be the problem. why would 4high engage but no 4low... (it also worked just 2 days before)... any ideas????:huh:


side note. got my buddys cherokee out after he spent a good hour with his gf's wrangler trying to get out. i laughed as i just pulled him right off the rut. :woot:

Did you dink around with it any more? Just sounds like it missed the teeth, I've had it happen before, just put it in 4-hi moved a few feet, then it slid right into 4-lo.

no actually i never did try it again, the grinding made me worry way to much, and i was to worried about losing any driving ability out on the trail... i will have to take a look at it after i get out..

sounds like you just didn't have it engaged, and Im not sure how you shift yours into 4 low, but next time try doing it at a complete stop and make sure your transmission is in neutral as well, usually that helps

When I got my truck the first time I put I put it into 4 low I had it in neutral and was stopped and the 4wd light hadn't come on and I tried to put it back in drive and it grinded like a mother fucker. I then went up to 4 high then back down to 4 low and its worked great for me ever since with no grinds..

ok. so i tried it... and i can breath easy, its back to normal again, im guessing it just didint engage properly.. never had that happen to me before so it really scared the shit outa me... think i can finally clean out my drawers out lol
