I have a 96 jimmy with 4wd electronic switch on the dash. I was at a red light and it was raining, I was in drive when I shifted from 2hi to 4hi. about 2 seconds later I heard a bang. I took off when the light turned green, and the truck took off slow. I could not go above 25 mph. It didn't shift out of 2nd.
I drove a couple miles to get home. It felt like the jimmy had steering problems like sliding to the sides a little. Streets were wet. I got home, turned off the truck, then started it again. The truck went back to normal. Could it been the transfer case did not engage right? I tried 4hi and 4lo the it seemed fine afterwards. Is this something I have to worry about? I'm going to the beach in a couple weeks, and I'll probably use the the 4wd. Is there something I need to look for before taking that 150 mile trip to the beach?
Thanks Larry
