I don't think there is a problematic part. I use 4hi quite a bit, especially in the winter. When switching from 4hi to 2hi, the front wheels on the 4x4 indicator will blink until I make a turn. In other words, if I decide to switch out of 4hi on the freeway, it won't be until I exit the freeway and make a turn that the indicator will actually show a solid 2hi. Mine's been like that since day one, and I know it's normal because we had a thread discussing it at one time.skinny2 wrote:

Is it any more responsive if you're on a loose surface like snow/ice or sand?skinny2 wrote:I've been having more and more trouble getting my PF to come out of 4wd. It has been slow to shift back to 2hi since I bought it but nothing really problematic at first. It used to be you had to slow down a bit or coast. Then last year you pretty much had to come to a complete stop. Now this year it is picky about shifting back even after stopping. This morning it took three tries of flipping the switch and it finally came out after taking a sharp turn. I don't think it's switch related because the dash shows the 4x4 lights blinking in the dash so it seems to know it's supposed to be doing something. I'm guessing something in the hubs or the actuator in the transaxle?

Mine behaves exactly the same way. I have a 2012 with 20K miles. I was switching in and out of 4WD numerous times over the weekend.NVSteve wrote:I don't think there is a problematic part.
