Ok about a half and hour ago(11:00)I took my truck in some nice old mudd puddles..well we were on this trail and i see a manhole ocming fast so i slow down and come to a stop (REAL BIG MISTAKE) and let me remind you I am in a muddy Rut in 2wd..ok so i try to get out of it..no go so I figure id hit the 4wd..well the light came on but when i floored it I only heard the back wheels spinnin..i also put it in 4lo same thing..So i said screw it threw it in @wd and Rocked the S.O.B..Finaly broke lose..but I did notice when i went to shift into 4wd the shifter did move real easy....but wut do you guys think the issue could be??

 

It sound like your hubs didn't lock in. Auto or manual hubs?
If you put the transfer case in 4X4 and drive forward about 10 feet, then get under the truck and try to turn the front drivshaft by hand, if it turns it's a transfer case problem, if it doesn't it's the hubs.

As far as a stiff shift lever......caked in mud?

Keep us informed, we'll figure it out.

 

Its automatic locking hubs..but it sreally weird cause today I brought my truck into my shop class at Vo-tech..Since I was taking care of my lose lifter id figure id take a quick look at it..well I got the wheels off the groudn put it in 4hi..and all 4 wheels turn...put it in 4Lo and all wheels turn..but the thing is my friend went under the truck and turned the front driveshatf till it locked in then turned it the other way to make sure it locked in..then after that it worked fine Idk real confusing I am probaly going to take it to a little field tonite and test it out again..ill let you kno wut happens
