Truck has 340,000 kms. After some -38°C ditch driving and letting the truck unthaw fully in a shop... Turn the switch, the 4x4 light comes on as it should, there is some light grinding noises and after a while it will engage and work as normal. Disengaging 4x4 is a little more tricky and you have to flick the switch multiple times and drive around a bit, and it will make a clunk and disengage. Putting the truck in reverse and driving a bit also helps it disengage more reliably. Tested the actuators and they engage and disengage when they should. The 4x4 light on the dash turns on and off when it should also. Anybody have an idea what's wrong? Possibly a sticky, worn out transfer case motor?
Note: When the truck is stuck in 4x4 (while the selector is in 2x4), it still turns terribly like the IWEs are also locked, so not sure why that is. You would think the IWEs would disengage and the front tires wouldn't fight each other.
