Definitely check your g/boxes fuild level because that can cause it to not engage properly.

i think 4wd burnouts are pretty much the coolest burnouts. imagine if you had those colourful burning tires? a different colour on each wheel. it would be like a f***ing tropical smoothie tornado

then, you may have a leaking seal between the diff and the tranny. why dont you take it to an automatic shop??? it would cost you less than the broardband your wasting.
