alright so yesterday i was stuck in 4low for like 5 hours. Kinda scared to put it back in four low.
my friend was hualing pallets in his 2003 f250 diesel with a six in lift and drove through a field with his truck and suck it down into the grass and just dug and dug. by the time he called me he was half way up his axles. my little baby pulled him 90% of the way out. my front wheels were 2 feet from gravel when i started to sink. i ended up undoing the tow rope because i was just digging myself in. well his dad showed up with his brand new rapter and a longer rope and pulled him rate out (didnt even let the Rapter touch the mud what a shame).
alright but once i got up onto the gravel i put it into nuetral tried shift to 2wd and it did nothing so i put it into reverse and as soon as i backed up an inch there was a loud grinding noise. waited till the next morning (yesterday and tried it again) and the same thing happen. drove to work in 4low (rate down the road wasnt worried about it) but eventually i tried showing my dad what happen ( the grinding) and i just backed up alittle more. i showed him put it back into nuetral then 4 low then park and turned it off. when i turned it back on i went to leave and was in 2wd. i emediatly turned the nob from 4 to 2 so into wouldnt shift back.
sorry for so much reading
what was the grinding?
did i ###### my transfercase?
