Today I made time to take the truck to the local Cenotaph and I timed it to coincide with the Lancaster Bomber flying by.

Well I was unable to do a Christmas Day drive due to working, but I did take it out for a short Boxing Day 2020 drive.

The truck drove well until I hit some soft spots off the road under the snow then I felt the back end dig in. So I put it into 4 wheel drive and 1st gear and it pulled right out. Once I got back onto the road I found it very hard to get it out of 4 wheel drive. Nothing grinding, but the lever didn’t want to move back without some force. But then I did go back and I drove home just fine.

Frequentlly, a short reverse will relieve whatever windup in the drivetrain made the disengagement difficult.
