Hey gang,
It has been a while, how are yÔÇÖall doing?

With the little snow that we got last week in Georgia I decided to exercise the 4WD a little bit. Now it wonÔÇÖt disengage from 4h. Shifted into 2h, backed up and the 4WD symbol goes away but not the wheel lock light. Drive forward and a grinding noise is noticeable on the driver side, I then shift to 4WD and the noise goes away.

During summer time, I replaced the bearings and packed the hubs with grease but did not use the 4WD. They have always been bulletproof and she doesnÔÇÖt see any hardcore wheeling, in fact it sees 4WD maybe once a year since is is mostly a daily commuter so it could be lack of use, who knows.

It is currently on my floor jack to see if there is something visibly obvious.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks,
Javy
