Service 4wd light came on while out exploring today. Truck is stuck in 4 high. Long drive back home. I think it's the dash switch as I unplugged every other connector to the diff, etc. Dropping it off at the stealer ship tomorrow .....bummer. Second time it has done, last time was after wheeling in deep snow (very deep)...a wash fixed that one or it was a coincidence. Fingers crossed for a cheap fix

I had a similar problem with my H3. The transfer case shift fork was made from plastic and would break/melt and prevent the vehicle from going into 4lo or standard drive. See if yours is made similar because of the company. In order for it to disengage from 4hi, I had to reverse in circles for 30+feet. That is only a temporary fix to be able to get it to the shop though.

I believe (hope) it's electrical due to the lights on the selector knob being out. Dealership is only a few miles away so I'll drive it in tomorrow. I have tried everything I know... warranty is over :(

Good to hear! I looked that up yesterday and saw that they had a reprogrammer update for the transmission/transfer case.

Didn't you reprogram the transmission with the Trifecta calibration?
Did they over wright the Trifecta program?

That is good, because, I just received my Trifecta cable and download today, and will be installing it tomorrow. I need to borrow a laptop from my friend Dennis. He is the guy that helped me install the BDS lift. And I hope that I will be as happy as you seem to be.

I just thought of something (rare occasion).
The shift from 4 High to 4 Low is all done by the transfer case, not the automatic transmission.
So did they reprogram the Transfer Case and not the Tranny?

I asked that very question, the tech said the tranny was spitting weird codes and the transfer case was being affected as a result. I called bs but swears the electronics share certain systems.

I will note the two times this has happened I have turned the truck off while in 4high. Maybe a coincidence but I think I'll shift to 2wd or auto prior to turning off the truck from here on :)

Wish your fabricator was local. I have been wanting an aluminum front bumper to match up to my Fiberwerx fenders but no one around here seems that talented.

Build is great, one of my favorites. Glad to see it get put to use.
