4wd problems
i have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. It has the electronic 4wd ****. Every time I put it in 4 wheel high, the light comes on saying it’s locked in but the front wheels don’t spin. It just makes a bad clicking sounds like gears are slipping. Any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks

Well then ... unfortunately there is a problem 
There are three places the problem could be:
- the front differential pinion and ring gear (very unlikely)
- the front drive shaft from the transfer case to the front differential. Blown CV joint (possible)
- shift fork or pads out of place inside the transfer case. (likely). The fix is to remove the transfer case from the truck and disassemble, replace/repair what is found
- shift motor encoder faulting (likely). Remove the encoder motor and test.
Are there any grinding or gear crunching type sounds in normal driving (2wd?).
