    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 turn half way to the left.

    Normal. The manual engagement in those trucks isn't an emergency 4wd so to say. You engage it drive a few feet nicely and it kicks in. Also the G80 locker makes the same noise when it engages. So next time put it in 4x before you get stuck, just easier on parts.

    What I always do is put trans in N, engage 4wd, shift to R then D and hammer the skinny pedal. This was from advice from the dealership after replacing my transfer case on my 2005 2500 w/ 8.1L.
