2000 CC stuck in 4 low

Well, we had quite the little snow storm here yesterday with 20-30 mph winds. that means good big long drifts to go blasting through trying to get family members out of their homes. Played in the deep snow for abour 2hours. After I was finished and got back to the highway I switched my truck out of 4 wheel drive. The switch turned, but the 4 wheel drive did not shut off. I finally just assumed it was due to the snow that was packed in my wheels. I spent about 30 min trying to bust out as much of it as I could, then I locked and unlocked my hubs 3 or 4 times and shut my truck down. When I started it up the 4 wheel drive disengaged. My question is, what made the thing stick, and are there any home made of aftermarket fixes for making it not stick again?

Thanks

Murph

To disengage 4-LOW, you have to stop, put the truck in neutral and have your foot on the brake before turning the ****.

The drive line is in a bind. Drive back and forth a few times, then stop with the tranny in neutral. When stopped in neutral you may also ned to remove your foot from the brake to ensure it's not instoducing any binding.

i had a 98' ranger that did this. i had to unplug the computer to reset it to get it out of 4L. it never happened again though, just a freak deal.

there is a sequence the truck needs to see before it will come out of low in the transfercase. you are not the first and myself and several other people here have learned this like you. even replaced several transfer case motors before we figured this out.

truck must be in netrual

sitting still

foot on brake

if it does not see all these at once it will not come out of low range.
