2005 chevy silverado 1500, service 4 wheel drive, gears

Our truck service 4 wheel drive light randomly appears and then disappears sometimes the 4 wheel drive works and sometimes it doesnt. today we were hauling a boat and went to downshift and 3rd gear did not catch, neither 2nd or 1st. we stopped put it into park and reverse and no gears were catching. we had to put the parking brake on. then we shut off restarted pressed 4H button and then everything clicked into gear again. very frusterating. do not have warranty on truck any suggestions.

Sounds like a bent fork in the transfer case. It is a common problem with your truck. The transfer case is a np236. If it just recently started doing this, the rebuild will cost around $800. If the 4wd has been acting up for a while, the planetary will probably need changed, which is another $200.

Service air bag on a 2005 chevy 4 wheel drive truck i heard a thump then the light came on

you need to take this to a shop that has the capability to do air bag work as this may be a false code by the way you discribe how it happened.and there will be code in the computer and it will have to be clear from the ars system.

1999 chevy silverado service 4 wheel drive light

I had a similar problem with the Service 4 Wheel Drive light which came on intermittently then became more consistent in the message center display. It would go into 4 wheel drive if the message center did not display the Service 4 Wheel Drive message in the message center, but not when the message was displayed. I found the transfer case switch module in the dash was defective, and it has been working with no other problems for three years.
