Re: Stuck in 4L??
Thanks Lee. I'll check all that out.
I did engage 4L and 4H about a month ago to lube all the stuff. I think it
was a tough shift out of 4L.

Re: Stuck in 4L??
That is likely right, my D300 was two hands, passenger out of the way
and all my 200 lb on it to get the bugger out sometimes before I cleaned
and greased the shafts with new seals to boot.
If the pin sheared in one of the rods, it would be in 2 WD or anything
low!

If the pin sheared in one of the rods, it would be in 2 WD or anything
low!

Re: Stuck in 4L??
That is likely right, my D300 was two hands, passenger out of the way
and all my 200 lb on it to get the bugger out sometimes before I cleaned
and greased the shafts with new seals to boot.
If the pin sheared in one of the rods, it would be in 2 WD or anything
low!

So with a sheared pin I'd be able to shift between 4H, 4L, N and 2H but it
would really not go into 4H or 2H (it really feels like it's stuck in 4L)?
This could be as easy as replacing a pin (I wish it wasn't dark out!)
