4x4 grinding

Hi all; it’s been pretty cold this past month -25C or colder. Anyways the odd day I’ll start the truck it warms up for a bit, start driving (2wd) and you can hear the gears grinding, kind of a whizzing (low pitch obviously though) - shift it to 4 and it’s usually fine. But question is, is this just because it’s so cold? Or are the gears not fully disconnecting when I switch back to 2wd once I turn into my residential street.
thanks for the input

Are your front hubs locked?

nope, but I’ll pull the cover (aftermarket wheels) and just make sure.
