Question 4X4 Problem

[chamillionaire66]

Last nite when i got stuck in mud i was in 4H, and of course it didnt move anywere. So i tryed putting it in 4L but it wouldnt move into 4L only (4H & 4X4 OFF) the warn manual lockers were fine , it was just the shifter thing inside the truck that was giving me probs.

if your trying to shift in 4L you have to put the truck in neutral and wait. It will eventually shift into 4L. For future reference don't wait till you're stuck to put it in 4wd.

I might be wrong but i think you need to be in nuetral to go to 4L. Also is it shift on the fly or not

I know on my truck, and also the wifes explorer you have to select neutral and also apply the brakes for it to select 4L

Floor shift or dial on the dash?

There was probably too much load on the driveline to get the range fork in the transfer case to go from 4HI to 4LO. If you put the vehicle in neutral, it should allow you to move the lever. If the vehicle is really stuck, you may have to rock it back and forth a little to unload the driveline.
