| The 4 wheel drive failed to disengage. the truck has been serviced by several dealerships for this issue. they all gave different solutions to solve the problem, but none of the solutions related to what was in the owner's manual. *ph the vehicle did not disengage or shift out of 4x4 into 4x2 under a load or in a bind. the brakes pushed to the drivers side and a made noise, and the a/c didn't switch from defrost to vent due to the radio and bezel vacuum to the a/c system. the a/c selector switch was replaced. *sc *jb | |||
