Need some help quick!!! Stuck in 4X4 low.

So I backed up next to my house, it's not too steep a grade, but didn't want to spin the tires and mess up the landscaping so I put it in 4X4 low. Hooked up my 5th wheel, put it in 2wd and started to pull out expecting it to go back into 2wd but it didn't. Backed up, pulled forward a little and still in 4X4 low. Any ideas??? It is a automatic, truck is in my sig. THANKS!!!

I have had this happen a couple of times. Have never replaced a a switch motor in any of trucks. Can most of time move back and forwards a few times and get pressure off T case and will switch back. I have noticed this is easier on grass just a thought.

It's fly.... sorry. I was reading the manual and it said to put it in Neutral to shift to 4X4 and back out. Did that and it worked. You guys are usually better/faster then a manual though!!! Again, sorry. First time 4X4 user here!!!

At least you don't have manual 4x4. Mine got 'stuck' in 4 low and I called the dealer in desperation... note to self... PUSH down to get it out of 4lo... felt like an idiot that day

LOL! Now I don't feel quite so bad! At least I'm not the only one AND nothing is wrong with my truck!

you're not alone my friend. I couldn't figure it out either and drove about 15 miles at about 25 mph cussing my truck the whole way.
