Thread: somethin wrong with 4 wheel drive

I dont use 4x4 very often but I put it in today and I felt the transfer case kick but my front tires wouldnt pull ..what do yall think

What year truck and how many miles? And it might be a faulty transfer case. It may have kicked in, but may not be delivering the power.

97 , 200k the front drive shaft is turning

97 , 200k the front drive shaft is turning though

Ok, so the transfer case engage and the driveshaft spins, but no tires spinning? It would have to be gears in the front differentials then. That's all I could think of with that. How many miles do you think it has while driving in 4x4 out of those 200k currently on it?

I think the hubs arent engaging ever thing spins to the wheels. But I dont know how to test those vac solonoids

It's got to be something to do with engaging front axles weather it's electrical or vaccum actuated! Don't know the set up on that year but I would start there. It helps to get a manual to see diagrams on elec. and vacc!

I just experienced some crazy grinding noise from the front end. I checked the iwe hoses seem pretty good. But when the noise came on I switched to 4x4 hi and noise went away. Anyone can help me

Grinding and shaking?

Grinding like something came loose in the wheel well.

What year? Any maintenance on ur hubs? I just did mine two months ago. I had a similar noise. But it's gone now
