4x4 Problems

[punmax]

Yesterday I went off roading and when I put my truck in 4x4, I tried to reverse and it wouldn't go. I would press the gas and it wouldn't move, I think stabilitrak might have something to do with this. Anyone experience this problem?

I couldnt tell you, all of our trucks work forward reverse sideways and upside down in 4x4. I always put it in neutral before shifting into 4x4 even though it is able to be done on the fly it cant be good slamming in when your driving or moving.

I bought my suburban used with 30,000 mi.First winter I went to put it in 4x4 on snowy ground,the truck stopped dead in it`s tracks. I never did try to go backwards.The back end spun the tires but the front was locked up.Took it to the dealer and I believe the front end was low on fluid or something like that which in turn screwed up the x-fer case clutches which gave me a bill of $1,700 dollars.I was out of warranty at the time.And from the customer relations people and the dealer this has been known to happen before but GM did not make it a re-call type of deal.I was extremely PO`d.I don`t know if this is the type of problem you have but get it checked out asap.Toby

I want one of your trucks. I only have 2wd/Auto/neutral/4hi/ and 4low. Did I miss the checkbox for the "upside down" and "sideways" modes when I ordered?

 

Seriously, PunMax...that could be a lot of things. Low transfer case fluid can probably cause strange things like that to happen, a malfunctioning switch. Stabilitrak can be disabled to rule that out but I doubt that's the problem.

Im sure it works upside down, I have yet to try out that feature but they work sideways, forward and reverse in 4x4. All 5 of them do, my 99, my dads 06 sierra 2500, 06 sierra 1500, 07 sierra 2500 and 08 silverado 3500, and they all work every way in 4x4 as some new construction jobs require some driving in some interesting stuff

I went back and looked on my truck. It has sideways mode, but I have to disable "Stabilitrak" to use it every time . Darn electronics!
