Thanks for pointing me to that thread, good info.
Absolutely, will do.jefbarn wrote:yeah, the 4wd in my 2005 always works like this, kind of a pain when you want to switch it off on the highway to get some better mpg. Well, if the dealer figures out any way to make it better, let us know!
Mine has been like this since mile 6, and I know others here have posted about it operating the same way. I'm betting it is perfectly normal & nothing is wrong in your case, but then again, it could be something similar to the ABLS making a loud popping/pinging sound at 12mph that some of us have, some of us don't.Energata wrote:Now, it won't switch out of 4wd unless you make a hard left/right turn with it. Uh-uh, somethin's up.
Point is, if the vehicle is functioning in a way other than what is normal, or what it was previously...then obviously something is wrong somewhere....which means there is a fix.....
Thats sounds like a very logical theory, I'll pass it on to the dealer...who has still yet to call me back on what the found....and see what they say.disallow wrote:A theory thats been bandied about is that driveline play is a factor in the 4wd disengagement. Perhaps the new trans has more play? or perhaps your front driveshaft is worn.

I know what your saying. The thing is, mine never did this...ever, until the new tranny was put in place. Either the new tranny is quirky, or the actuator (somewhere/somehow) got FUBARED.NVSteve wrote:Mine has been like this since mile 6, and I know others here have posted about it operating the same way.
