electronic 4wd

[Gintaka]

I have a '92 XLT 5 liter. In Fort Worth we recently had ice and in the 15 degree weather i swtiched it into 4 wheel drive only to hear a grinding noise. I guess my hubs locked up? I drove with the grinding for about 10 mins, no faster than 20 mph. I put it in reverse and drove backwards for about 30 feet, and this seemed to help. It seems like the hubs are still messing up tho, almost like there is something holding me back when I accelerate, but the grinding is gone. Did I ruin my hubs by driving with them caught? What will keep this from happening again? Am i supposed to slowly roll when i switch to 4wd? could the modulator be screwed up?

thanks ya'll

from what u described and i've had that happen to me. u need new hubs. their auto right?? mine were but i had just purchaced my truck when it happened to me so the dealer payed for them. if u want auto again their about $ 125 each side so i would get a set of WARN manual hubs for about $80 bucks for the set

Since it hasn't been in 4x4 in who knows how long, get all the **** points greased. Lok at the U-joints an see what kind of shape they are in.

Good luck,
