    Hey, I was in 4 high the other day and when I was done put it in neutral switched it back to H2 put it in reverse and drove a bit. then I drove it home. All is well. the next morning, I went to drove my truck and the front end is locked??? I tried everything. Somehow the front end is locked up and I don't know what to do? it is a 2007, 80,000+ miles. I just bought the truck a year ago and I dont know what is going on???

    any ideas??

    stuck in the drive way

    What do you mean by stuck? Like front wheels just drag when you try to move it?

    Yeah, that was my thought at first.

    OP, have you tried pumping the brakes? Other than that, I have no idea...hope it works out.

    Something similar happened in my dad's truck, pumped the brakes, heard a clunk, and the truck was back to normal.
