I know youre not supposed to do that but, I tried to put it into 4wd on the parking lot at work real quick and every few feet it made a little clank. So I pushed back into 2wd. Will it something not line up if it's on dry pavement. shouldnt it go into 4wd if you wanted to drive around the parking lot once to make sure everything works?

 

It should go into 4wd regardless of whether your on pavement or not. perhaps you had your wheels turned and it was causing some binding while trying to engage?

mine goes in just fine in the drive way, takin it out is a different story. some noise when it engages is normal.. is your 4x4 light comin on?

 

I backed up the same length of the parking lot. seems odd that it wouldnt go into 4wd.

 

just to make sure (not callin you out)... ur puttin tranny in neutral, throwin it down in 4 hi, and engagin drive?

it should kick over after a couple revolutions....

 

Yeah.. I'll try it again before I leave. And motorbreath.... I appreciate any reminders. You never know when I could have a short circuit!
I usually can just put into 4wd everyonce in a while to make sure everyhting is moving around right?..hmm..

 

owners manual says it should go into 4wd hi from any speed without shifting to neutral.

 

i thats what i was always raised to do so thats why i do that, what year is your truck?

 

its a 95

 

Mine would shift into 4H while going no more than 55 for about the first year I had it. Then it required slowing down more and more and now it's easiest just to be in neutral when I do it.
