Big bang what? Full time to 2wd
 
So i put it in full time drove for a bit was fine. then put it back to 2wd go to make a right an BANG as i am turning i hear a bang noise. sounded like it was more towards the rear. I got out checked everything seems ok. Turned it off shifted thru and drove home and its been fine since. But i never have had this happen . Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

My guess would be that your 4wd hadn't disengaged yet. Making a right turn put some stress on your driveline and thus caused a more violent switch to 2wd since everything was under stress. Probably nothing to worry about so long as everything still works.

You need to shift it like it was intended to be shifted:

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. The suggestions in CAPS are mine.

"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, 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".

TO SHIFT OUT OF 4L, SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL WITH THE VEHICLE STOPPED, SHIFT THE TRANSFER CASE LEVER TO 2H, THEN THE TRANS TO D IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOMATIC, OR INTO FIRST GEAR WITH A MANUAL, AND CONTINUE ON.

Directions?? whats that? I don't think Directions exist anymore cause how hard they are to follow. I guess the U.S education system is fading them out.
