Have you put the transmission in neutral then selecting low?

 

What kind of mess were you in to need 4lo?

 

Thanks for the reply.Yes I did try the neutral.I thought I would try out 4 wheel low to see if it worked and its a good thingI did because none of it works.I brought it to the dealer this afternoon and andthey had that deer in the headlight look.So I guess its service time on a brand new vehicle.Regards, Iron

 

Did you slow down to 2-3 MPH? If your rolling to fast it won't engage... and if you stop completly it somtimes won't go either..

 

Yeah 4 Lo is for very slow speeds, like below 10mph. Unless you are doing serious offroading you will probably never need it.

 

Stop, put it in neutral, then engage 4Lo, pause for a couple of secs in HI to let it switch over before you go to lo. If it does not work, roll te truck about a foot or so and repeat. Some times the gears are not lined up and it prevents it from switching over, rolling a very short distance with spin the gearbox a little bit to help line the gears up better.

 

My 08 is the same way. Sometimes the gears are not lined up to mess correctly.
