First time posting. I got this 2013 ram 1500 Laramie longhorn 4x4 with the 5.7 with the 6spd auto and BW 44 44.
The 4x4 is not working. i put the rear end up on stands and put the truck in 4auto, 4 lock and 4 low but the front wheels are not moving. I should mention that after pressing the brakes a few times the front starts to move. obviously since I got the back on stands I can't go far but it does try to movw . I checked the fluids on everything. I changed the motor on the t case. I took apart the connectors and cleaned them. I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be a wheel sensor or abs related. Any help is very much appreciated and excuse me if I post this on the wrong thread. Update front left caliper was ***** somehow a rock got in there. Service abs cleared but still not 4x4. If i tap the brakes It feels like the front wheels try to turn but dont.. I pulled front axle actuator motor and put in 4x4 lock and the fork moves. I think I might take it to dealer I don't trust them but I'm going to ask for an pcm update. My next move is going to be to replace all wheel sensors, somehow test the t case then front diff. Again any tips or help is greatly appreciated. I should mention all 4 wheel used to turn when in 4x4 lock and 4x4 low. As a matter of fact when in 4x4 low because the Trac control gets turned off I could burry all 4 wheels in snow if not careful, same in sand or mud. I'm starting to think I might have burnt my t case. Or My front diff can't handle the 37"s. I'm trying to do everything else i can before I give up and drop the trans and t case and front diff. Which btw if I do, are there better options to put back in. I like offroading, I bought this truck because I like the looks plus it's supposed to be a strong truck. I know this truck is not a locked up monster on 44s but I did okay til this dam problem.
