I have a 95 z-71 ext. cab. 350tbi Auto trans.(dont know which tranny it is, maybe somone here does.)Manual 4x4 selector. I was doing a little off-roading this past weekend and got stuck in 2wd. My friend was with me and said I needed to leave the truck in drive and shift into 4hi. I told him he was nuts. You should always go to neutral, right?
This is the way I do it: In 2wd and need 4hi, stop if not already, shit trans to neutral, shift 4x4 selector to 4hi, wait for light showing hub engage, shift trans to drive, and go. (sometimes it does grind a little while going to and from 4hi and 4lo, is this normal?)
Thats the way I have always done it. If I am wrong please tell me the right way.
Also, is there any chance for the auto locking hubs to stay engaged? I remember hearing something about having to back up a certain distance to ensure disengagement.
TIA, C.B.
Btw, I didnt stay stuck :)
