dunefreak Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The 4WD switches are pretty common to go out, but I'm not sure that is the cause. I've never heard of one causing it to go into 4LOW on the freeway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might help you out at diesel place or call 4 wheel parts, maybe a total fluid loss or something like that.. I think resetting the electronics is a good start..then check the differentials and transfer case or any wires comeing from their that be have gotten unplugged or broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It's more than likely the switch that is bad, especially with that DTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
