Me too! Just had a little snow storm in MN, and suddenly no 4wd. Put it in 4low and and walked around the vehicle and watched both rear wheels spinning in the snow but neither of the front wheels received any power. As if the front drive shaft wasn't there. It hasn't been damaged in any way and worked fine a few weeks ago. The transfer case did humm while driving a few months back, but then stopped and I never thought anything of it. Blazer is a 1997 with 160k on it. Thoughts? Ideas? Anything I should / can check?
