I can see your frustration but questioning the legality of 4wd badges is kind of silly especially when the 4wd worked when new. Also, Bee's suggestion is 100% accurate. Do that.
Also, if you have 4wd badges and not 4x4 you do not have the factory badges.
Lastly, you can always sell it.
I didn't buy it new, so it may have never worked. And I'm not getting into a ******* contest over badges. The point is, neither front wheel spins when I am stuck on ice or snow. How do I fix this?
Has anyone here replaced a transfer case on this generation?
