Hello nasenterpris
You would notice somthing if the transfer case engaged, even if the hubs did not. The first thing I'd do, before crawling in the snow is to stop by my mechanics or an autozone and have the OBDII
scanner hooked up to see if any DTC codes poped. A 4wd related code may not set the mil light
on the dash. There is a 4wd ctrl. module and a few switchs+solnoids located under the truck under
the hood and under the dash that are 4wd related and if there is a trouble code it can narrow the
search greatly. In the meantime you can check these fuses that are either directly or in directly
related to the 4wd #45 #19 #27 #111 Hope this helps.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the input. I actually own a decoder and will check to see if a 4WD issue is present. I checked the fuses you listed earlier today. THX!"
Hi again nasenterpris
Lets start at the shift on the fly solenoid, on the right inner fender near the battery make sure
the connections are clean tight, check the lt blue/pink for pwr to the solenoid also check all
the transfer case connections it's common for wires to get knocked off in the snow just when
you don't need them. I'm gonna guess you have the basic OBDII scanner like mine at home
many of these scanners won't read codes for ABS or transmission and 4wd. I pulled up the wiring diagram for your truck and it seems all things 4wd run through the 4wd control module.
The most you'll be able to do without the proper test eqipment is check for bad connections
and test for pwr in power out at each switch and relay. If you can't find any obvious problems
I would take it to someone that can diagnose it standing up where it's warm.
Good luck

todytwo,
I just hooked up the OBDII scanner and it detected to DTC codes in the truck. I guess my next step is to take it in but at 80k miles should there be a problem with the 4WD and what are typical problems if there is?
Sorry I meant to type it detected no DTC codes. Thanks
