Here it is with an additional suggestion.

Here's how the factory suggests you shift the transfer case and I've been doing this since these things were new and I worked at the dealership. Quoted from the owner's manual.

"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I let off the gas, throw the lever and then tap the gas and let off.

4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".

When you come out of 4L back into Neutral, and there's a grind noise (and only then)... Now what?

Low fluid?

That is why so many wait to see what your input is.
You are the one that knows the most.

Check what??? I checked it out stuck in a mud hole at mud fest 2012. Wondering why I couldn't go anywhere. Turns out 4l reverse works BUT I only turn the rear tires. 4H works great. I dunno my problem.
