4wd won't engage

If they have the part you'll be in and out in an hour. No biggie. Good Luck.

 

If it was blinking, why did you assume it was engaged? Just sayin'.

G.

 

Wasn't paying attention is all. It's blinked while it was engaged before, vice versa. Again, there's something to be said about the days of manual engagement. Turning a switch on the fly is easily taken for granted.

 

these 4x4 threads got me thinking how little I use mine!

Just ran out, found a straight-a-way and put it in 4HI, seems to lock in(stop blinking)
faster than the 2011 I traded in, flashed for like half a second then went solid. In
and out, worked like a charm.

 

Hey not all millennials are bad lol.

 

Nah, only the caricatures.

 

lol I'm millennial but at the beginning/mid generation. Agree though many are fuckin pathetic.

 

That's exactly what a trash millennial would say

 

LMAO this is amazing.

 

Electronic shift in these trucks is bullshit. I use it everytime I back up my driveway, and it's always a struggle to get it to engage. Press the clutch release the clutch, roll forwards, turn the knob back to 2wd.

It's about as frustrating as an iPhone update.

I bought an SR for simplicity, last thing I ever want in a 4x4 is anything electronic.

 

trash pride ? lol
I see all this shit on the news from all the millennials and just laugh. I work construction dude I'm always with older people, if you act like a typical millennial you won't last on a job site.

 

Appreciate the help!

 

Good news. I change the oil, but they're gonna do the 10k service as well. I won't need the truck for a few weeks, but I'll feel better if it's a simple fix

 

The twistknob setup has been a problem going back to 2nd Gen. Too much fiddling around, quirky, doesn't engage/disengage consistently or predictably. The '05 Tundra had a pushbutton 4WD switch, it worked flawlessly every time, no fiddling around, not sure why Toyota continues with the twistknob when they had a better setup 10 years ago.

And of course manual hubs and transfer case tops any electronic system. Gen I Tacomas had shift on the fly up to 50mph with manual hubs and manual transfer case, the new system can't top it.

 

I agree!

 

3rd gens! Not even once

 

could be your actuator like it was in mine, but mine won't disengage out of 4lo. took them 2 week to fix it

 

"It's only been a few days. Keep sending him up." Oops sorry, TOP GUN flash back. I'm not sure why it wont engage.
