okay so here is my best description of the problem
it only occurs in 4 wheel drive, when the weather presents issues of traction loss(i.e. snow/ice)
when I put it in 4hi the part time light goes on as it should, and when I give it any ammout of gas beyond just a little over idle I hear a loud grinding sound...and the vehicle acts as if it is in rwd only.
so basically, it seems like the 4wd will work when the jeep is at very low rpms..but to be honest I'm not even sure if its working then.
also, when I'm going say for instance 20mph in the snow..if I hit the brakes hard enough to lock them up and slide, I hear the same exact grinding noise.
so basically if I'm sitting at a stoplight in the snow..if I give it a 1/8 or 1/4 throttle it just sits there and spins the back tires while grinding up front.
any ideas??
thanks!
