    4WD question

    So I have a steep driveway that still has some snow on it. I have the manual 4x4 and when I engaged it, it didn't engage right away. I gave it some gas and heard a pop/clunk noise when it did engage. Is this something I should worry about or not? I was stopped when I engaged it and the front end was in the driveway. Also, I had the wheels turned about half way to the left.

    This is my first 4WD vehicle so I'm still learning what to expect. I'm sure the manual 4WD's will make different noises than a electronic 4WD. When driving in 4WD, should be there a little extra noise from the transfer case? Kinda like a rubbing type noise? It's hard to describe.

    During turning? Yes. The clunk you hear could be multiple things, none of which are probably an issue. My 08 clunked when I switched it into 4x4. I haven't heard it from my 2010 yet, but I haven't really listened either.

    This was the first time I head it. I wasn't sure if it was because i was turned on a slight incline or what. It only has a little over 3,000 miles on it, so if anything is wrong, it's covered under warranty.
