My 2005 Dodge Dakota has 131K mi. Runs great, but some issues with 4WD. It is electronic with 4-HI and 4-Low on the dash. I've never used 4-Low, but have used 4 High with no problems until recently. Noticed recently that if I switched on 4-High while going slow or in a turn, it would make a kind of grinding noise. Always switched back to 2WE right away, then back to 4WD and the issue went away. Always, the light would flash until engaged. This afternoon I had my transaxle fluid drained and refilled. Now the light no longer flashes when switching to 4WD--in fact does not come on at all. If going under 30 MPH it makes a "poor mesh" noise when accelerating, but if going over 30 and switching to 4WD seems normal (still no flashing light or indication that it is in 4-High), but when I accelerate it sounds like the engine is struggling to make the vehicle move...it's very loud like I am going up a hill or something. Any ideas? More info needed?
