1. How can I verify my 4WD works? I tried jacking up one front tire and with key on engine off I hit 4x4 hi and the light came on but the front wheel still spun freely.
2. If the above is normal, is there any way to keep the front locked when you turn the engine off? Reason being is if one is off roading and parks front down on a steep hill with only the rear being locked by the transmission parking brake it's possible the tires may slip and slide down the hill. It would nice to be able to lock all 4 wheels in park.
