Did you get your 4wd issues sorted out Texasrider??

Just curious as to the outcome.

Could the blast of water underneath the truck have disconnected something or screwed up my 4WD? I will probably need 4WD to get home and it won't let me switch out of 2WD. Any suggestions or has anyone experienced this?

same problem happened to me when I got the truck back from the dealership. Fixed airbags and tie rods under recall. Now the service 4wd light is on.
they wanted 180$ to diagnose.
