Ok, bear in mind I know literally zero about transmission systems. Time to learn.
We had some unexpected snow accumulation yesterday so, after arriving home, I engaged the 4wd hi to try it out for the first time. Hadn't prior because the ujoint on the front shaft seemed a little loose.
Drove fine, a bit of vibration and a hi pitched wHine. Planned to change joint on the weekend and parked.
This morning, went out in the cold (about 28 F), started the truck. Shifted to 2 hi, went out to release hubs and they were a bit stiff. I remembered reading a bit of movement in reverse might free them so I got in and backed it up a bit, the clutch feeling a little tight, then forward a bit with the clutch feeling a little loose.
Got out, hubs free. 5 mins later came back out to start commute and the clutch wouldn't engage. At first I thought maybe I had left the tcase in neutral or something else, but eventually put the truck into first gear and let go of the clutch. ...no stall, not even a shake.
Worth noting as of yesterday the clutch was very good, would have stalled out in 2nd gear at 10 mph if you didn't engage the throttle.
I had to get to work so I'm not with the truck. What should I be looking to do when I get home this afternoon? Please keep in mind I know very little of all the linkages that allow the clutch to function. Thanks everyone.
