ok you can laugh, im used to my s10 when it comes to switching into 4wd, you just put it in neutral and hit the button, lol. :whistle:

poor Brian

actually, I never meant to laugh at the question, but ended up laughing at my confusion.


I'm not responsible for the peanut gallery that follows :D

oh i feel like a dunce now. but if there was some magic trick i needed to preform its worth it tho know. :P if its just as easy as sliding it back into 4hi thats great.

i didn't know if the column had to be in "neutral" like the s10s lol
 
The transmission only needs to be in neutral to shift the transfer case into or out of 4 Low.

yah hubs locked you can shift into 4x4 high at most speeds. I think GM recommends about 45 max but I have done it faster
 
Automatic or manual hubs? With the automatics, just stop the truck, pull the floor shifter to 4HI and drive. To go back to 2WD, stop, shift to 2HI and back up. If you have manual hubs, they must be locked and t-case in 4. Either of those missing, you are in 2WD. For mixed surfaces, it's OK to keep the hubs locked and flip the shifter back and forth. Tight places like parking lots can be really hard in 4WD, so shifting back to 2 will let you make the turn without the truck hopping all over the place.

Just think about what your T-case is doing (engaging the front driveshaft) and what the hubs are for (connects the front wheels to the axle-shafts) and using the equipment is quite simple.

You don't have to feel like a dunce by the way.. A question not asked will not get an answer after all! Some folks might dish you some crap but it's all in good fun :D
