a little grindage is normal for all 4x4. are u in neutral when your shifting from 2 to 4?? i have an 07 fx4 and a 63 jeep rockcrawler and they grind a little. its because there is no syncros in a X case.

If your rear wheels are spinning and the fronts are not you are trying to engage splines on the output shaft of the t-case that are spinning and the collar is not. In that case grinding is normal. It is not healthy for the BW t-case but it is normal. Shift into 4x4 with both the front back wheels turning at the same speed and it will not grind.
