4 wheel drive problem. HELP ASAP
Ok, I went to use my 4 wheel drive today on my 2002 1500 Ram and it wouldnt engage even though its shift on the fly. When I came to a complete stop in finally let me engage it. I then discovered that even though the lever was in 4 hi and the 4x4 light was on, I was not in 4 wheel at all. When I put it back to 2hi, I then heard this metal grinding noise from up front, like gears not meshing right or something. Its almost like its stuck not quite in 4hi but not quite in 2hi. Any ideas?

You can try putting it into 2wd and backing up around 30 feet. Stop, go forward and make sure its in 2wd.
Then, stop. Put it into 4wdhi, and try it forwards and backwards.
Sometimes they don't want to come out of 4wd, just put into 2wd and backup. It'll come out.
Unless you have a real problem.

Those electronic switches never seem to work as quick as you want them to.
You gotta love a manual transfer case lever.
JEM3650,
Since your post was almost a couple months ago, you likely fixed your problem by now.
Does your truck have a manual lever? Was it some serious mechanical damage?
