Won't stay in Hi-4WD

[RideSlow2004]

Hope it is just an adjustment, but the lever keeps easing forward, out of Hi-4WD. Thots?

Probably not. I don't think there are any such adjustments. Sounds like a wear or defect issue.

Probably a broken detent spring. Will it stay i 4 WD Lo?? If not, that is what it is.

my first thought is lack of main. has caused excessive wear. It seems many people neglect to change the transfer case fluid often enough. Most will say they dont use 4wd-so they don't need to change it.

Couldn't get into Lo-Loc. That is why I was thinking might be an adjustment. Tried everything, motor on, motor off, in neutral, in park, just wouldn't go.



42,000 miles shouldn't be doing this, I would think... .

The number of miles is not as important as the type of use and maintenance received.

Only been in Lo Loc a few times, usually idling down a grade, lightly loaded. Hi range gets more use, sometimes trailer pulling in the snow, or trail running solo. Complete fluid change when a seal started leaking at about 22,000 miles.
