Default 4x4 fixed! Yay!

So I had been having problems with my 4x4 since about September. The "Serv 4x4" light would come on every now and again, and I wouldn't be able to switch into 4x4. Seemed like every time I decided to take it in to get checked out, the light would go out. This had been going on till about a week or two ago when the light came on and hadn't gone out since. So I was finally able to get the truck into the dodge dealer today.
Turns out, a wire from the harness to the transfer case had somehow worked itself loose and was rubbing on the driveshaft. It finally wore all the way through and that's why the light has stayed on the past few weeks.
Aaanyways, it was a simple fix, only charged an hour labour. Works like a dream now. The only thing I'm afraid of now is breaking something due to the cold. This past weekend was in the -30 to 40's without the wind chill. And it's not looking to get any better any time soon

-5, that's it? Haha must be nice. It's so cold here that plastic is brittle lol I let the truck idle for about 5 minutes then drove about 8km to work and the truck was still not warmed up. It's ridiculous.

LOL we had +10 today(45 in the US)...... NOT typical for Nfld. No snow yet, no frost in the ground.
