No, but hit the 2wd button only with your foot off the gas. Don't do it when accelerating.

In the good old days of completley manual transfer cases, yeah, rolling in reverse helps in engaging/disengaging. But these push button trucks just need your foot off the gas when you switch between 4-hi and 2-hi. If you are changing into or out of 4-lo, you need to roll the truck at 3-5 MPH with the transmission in neutral before you hit the switch. Or when stationary and in neutral or park, hit the 4-lo button to engage, and again, in neutral and rolling at 3~5 MPH or park, hit any other button to change modes out of 4-lo.

Probably the same reason why my 5300 pound truck says it's 3500 pounds on my registration. Long, long ago, in a typo far-far away in the bowels of your local DMV....

99.... 96....69... It all works for me . Just send more pictures . When I undo 4x4 to 2x4 . I don't do any kind of special foot work , Girlbear. Since these shifting units rely on vacuum and a release of force from either the road surface or transmision speed. It will undo itself when the time is right . Sometimes it could take a couple of minutes or miles . The transfer case should release pretty quick but the indicator on the dash will only change when the front axle is finished as a complete disconnect. Rob
