Truck stuck in 2wd. Dash keeps telling me to drive forward. Ideas?
I got stuck in 2wd today, I tried shifting into 4x4(hi and low) and my cluster keeps telling me to pull forward. Not a noise is heard coming from the T-case. All my fuses are fine, disconnected my battery, rattled my front drive-shaft, can't see any cut/chaffed wires around my T-case or IWE. I drove around for like 45 minutes, after getting a pull, trying to get it to engage and nothing...
I'm going to take it to the stealer tomorrow, but I'd like to have an idea of what is going on. Any ideas or tips would be much appreciated. Thanks

Retired and loving it!
Sounds to me like the 4WD actuators. Hope its just a loose wire to them, but I have heard here of the actuator(s) going out.
Please do let us know what the dealer finds when they fix it? thanks......

From day 1, my 4x4 never disengaged correctly. After using it then shifting back into 2wd, I'll occasionally hear a grinding noise coming from the front hubs; almost like the hubs are still half stuck in 4x4. I'm sure it'll leave me stranded one day
