You're right about not using it on dry pavement. Driving 4 LO on dry pavement and then trying to turn will cause the vibration. It's not a problem from what I've come to understand. When I first bought my truck, I made the same mistake..."Ooohh, buttons! I think I'll push 'em!" and had the same response you're having (I didn't get a service light, though). For basic use of 4 LO, I pretty much only use it for deep mud or sand. You're also not supposed to take it over around 20 to 25 mph due to the lower gear ratio or you can mess some things up. If anyone has anything to add as to why low gear ratios cause vibration on dry ground, please feel free to add your comments...
Bought my hub at Auto Zone for $149.00
Now it doesn't sound like I have Swamp Tires on.
Don't forget to grease the new parts.Make life alot better next time to tear down.

i have a 2000 GMC Jimmy with 90k miles, the other day I went to shut off the truck and the key would not come out. i took it to a dealer and they quoted me $500 to replace the shift interlock switch solenoid. I do most of my own work on my car if i know how to do it. is this hard to do? and where is the shift interlock switch solenoid? also is this the problem?
thanks

thanks for any help possible
I'm new to the forum, so that means an unexpected problem-not like the AC compressor, shabby oil coolent lines, ball joint 'pop and replace', and 4WD shift motor that I've had before in my '97 Blazer. We're going on 8 years and 112k miles together-such a reliable engine sitting in a sea of junk parts! Now I've got the slushy sound, too. The truck gurgles on each acceleration during it's first 1/2 hour of use each day, but it seams to have nothing to do with the AC being on. To this point I have no loss of heat, either. My radiator guy listened to it today and will look at it on Monday (11-7-05). He thinks he'll be able to tell pretty quickly if a flush and fill will take care of it. If it does, I may hit my goal of 150k miles with the Blazer yet-even though those ball joints are popping again! If it means extensive work, it'll be bye-bye Blazer, hello Ford Escape! I may get the chance to see how bad Ford is! Either way, I'll post a reply late on Monday, and if the flush seems to work, I'll follow up a week or two later. Good night, and good luck!

Start by checking the gas cap.
The problem started about a week ago, when the truck would turn over and die (spudder). Also, during this summer my gas tank started to leak, so I've been only putting $20 at a time.
Anyways, now I turn the key, everything powers up, goto start her up and nothing? not even a ticking from the starter.
I really don't want to give it the garage, cause they already said its big $$ to fix it,(I had only told the symptoms) and in the same sentence "we'll give you $500 for it"
Any ideas???
Much appreciated.
Any suggestions on what else to check, to get the A/C and heat to switch back and forth?
The problem was a worn ring gear.
The truck remained at the dealer for 3 months until they finally conceeded that the ring gear was defective.
It is now fixed.
After 18 months of GM dealer apathy we dealt this truck.
It is now for sale at Don McCurdy's Chev Olds in Trenton Ontario.
Nightmare is now over
now the 4x4 does not engage. The vehicle has over 130,000 miles, so I'm looking to fix the problem w/o losing my shirt off my back. What should I be looking at? What could be the problem and the solution(s) Approx. what price range I'm looking at? :confuse: ?
Thanks
Disengaged.
