Last night I had to drive through the snow. I locked the hubs, and going about 10mph let off accelerator, and pulled shifter straight back to 4hi. Everything seemed fine until I started fish tailing like I only had rear wheel drive.
looking down at the shifter, I noticed the white indicator was no longer on 4hi and it was getting closer to 2hi.
i pulled it straight back to 4hi (not to right at all as if going to neutral) and kept driving. Twice more I looked down and it was out of 4 hi. Tried nudging it to right, but no difference. So put it in neutral, shifted to 2hi, and drove home 5 miles at 20mph.
How would I know if it was ever really in 4 hi?
Is it common for the shifter to move?
Can you bungee shifter lever to keep it engaged in 4hi?
Are you supposed to feel gears engage in 4hi like you do in 4 lo? (I didn't feel anything when shifting into 4hi)
this is was only the second time I used 4wd, so I don't know if anything has changed.
I really appreciate all your help.
