My transfer case/4WD pushbutton wont make the truck go into 4WD whats wrong?
If you have manual hubs on the front axle of your truck, make certain they are fully engaged in the LOCKED position. If you have automatic locking hubs in front, find out if they are engaging properly either by having your local service station put the truck on a frame lift and checking them or safely doing it yourself via some other method. If the hubs check out then move on to the T-case. Manual transfer cases are pretty obvious about engaging or not. If they will not engage its usually a linkage adjustment or faulty internals in the case. The worry is usually with the electronically shifted T-cases found in later model trucks.
