Here is how to shift from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive on a Chevrolet pickup truck with a floor shift lever. Shifting from 2H (2 wheel high) to 4H (4 wheel high) mode is easy and can be done while the truck is in gear and moving. Just shift the floor shifter from 2H to 4H and take your foot off the gas pedal for a second. To shift into 4L mode, get your Chevrolet truck rolling at 3 miles per hour, then put the automatic transmission into neutral and quickly move the floor gear shift lever to 4L (4 wheel drive low) without stopping in neutral. Then put the automatic transmission into Drive and you're done. Neutral on the floor shifter should be used if you are towing your truck. The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This should also work on GMC trucks, which are also made by general motors. Putting a truck into 4 wheel drive mode is easy if you know how to do it.
Here is where to order a repair manual to help you understand your truck:

Great explanation! I've had a 96 1500 for almost 2 years, and was wondering about the proper way to do this . Done it twice, but didn't know to go quickly into 4lo. Tonight we are getting 3-8 inches of snow, so now i'm all set, thanks!

You really only need 4H for snow, 4low is for when your stuck or going through tough areas and need lots of torque as you can’t go fast in 4lo

I was putting the 4wheel drive in while in neutral. (4hi) I have yet to do 4lo since replacing the actuator but when I tried the first time in 4lo I had it in neutral sitting still. It was definitely grinding before I just shoved it in. It didn't work bc the actuator was bad.

I'm years late, but thank you. I've owned my '89 Silverado 1500 for 3 years or so now, and never drove it enough to change it from 2HI to 4LO but now that I know how to correctly, I can finally hit up some trails with my buddies. I didn't have my license is why I didn't drive it much (I'm 2 months away from turning 19yo now) great video!

I know it’s an old video but I was thinking my transfer case was out when I stoped the transfer case in neutral and tried to go into 4low and all it would do is grind but thanks to your video and see how you skip Neutral and go straight into 4 low really fast and it does it with no grinding at all now and works great! I was actually scared to put it in 4 low that fast thinking I would chip off a tooth inside transfer case lol And just so you know your like the only video on here that explains it so perfectly so thanks man!

I thought it read to be stopped and in N (at the automatic transmission) for 4-low, although a very slow speed is possible (which I never do). The swift action into 4-low is key - don't be afraid. Not a slam, but a firm, continuous, complete shift.

The floor shifter is pretty neat. I have the push button without Neutral. Shifting between 2HI and 4HI is seamless. For 4LO, I swap into 4HI (or you can press 4LO and it will do it for you.) then stop, and leave it in drive while you creep forward. When the truck says you are at the right speed (about 2-4 mph), it will kick into 4LO on it’s own. Repeat the process to go back from 4LO to 4HI, then press 2HI to go back to RWD only.

+hoohoohoblin +Alberta McCrary Yeah, this was great. I just picked up my first 4WD truck - a 1994 Suburban - and needed to figure out how to switch to 4WD. The previous owner told me I "had to put it in neutral" to shift to four-high. When I put the transmission and the transfer case in neutral, and then to 2WD or 4WD, it wanted to grind on me. This was super helpful in guiding me to shift safely without destroying my transfer case.

@kurt-4593
@kurt-4593 8 жыл бұрын
+Alberta McCrary I'd say that, if the truck is now in gear and drives properly, the transmission is okay. If the brakes sound like they're grinding, it could mean that the brake pads wore down and you're rubbing against the rotor. That'll sound like metal-on-metal, and you'll want to stop driving it until you get it fixed. Completely unrelated to the transfer case, though. I'll defer final judgement to +hoohoohoblin, though.

fFour wheel drive really doesn't help when you have a road that's iced over. If all four of your wheels are on a slick surface and lose grip, then you'll have four wheel spinning instead of just two. cautious driving will serve you a lot better than relying on a 4wd.

Is there anyway to lock in 4 low if you get stuck from where you park? I probably just need to get chains.

Yikes, I heard teeth grinding while en route. Only a quick graze with teeth. Turned truck off. I need to drop it down to 4L. After I start the truck, which gear on the steering column should I be in or get to in order to put it in 4L?

I can definitely throw my 95 in 4 high at any speed the highest I’ve done it at was 60 but I wouldn’t do it any faster than that but I just throw it in neutral pull it down into 4hi and back into drive and it always engages never had any problems. I’d be terrified to even try the 4low while rolling I always do the neutral 4lo reverse drive because that’s what I was taught I’d never do it rolling. Or shifting it into 4hi while in gear

shifting from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive on the fly on dry pavement have not had much problems with that but when shifting into go make sure your truck is at a complete stop then go into reverse for about two feet put into neutral and then put into drive will not have any problems with the transfer case with my experience as a mechanic

From a dead stop you can shift the differential into neutral, then the transmission to tow it only? slow roll for 2L straight from 2H only... Thanks bro!!

This seemed strange to me so I downloaded the original owner's manual for my 2002 1500 and this guy was 100% right on for shifting the manual transfer case . Curious. What would happen if I shift while at a complete stop? Doesn't seem like that would harm anything I don't know. Maybe the acceleration would cause ware. it does say, "In extremely cold weather, it may be necessary to stop or slow the vehicle to shift into 4-Wheel High (4HI)."

I don’t know. The manual says to have it moving a little bit when you do that. I think the gears need to be turning slowly so that they can mesh together.

Read on my manual to switch to neutral then 4H when it’s either stopped or moving, switching to 4L requires the same thing but moving, can you switch to 4L while stuck? Or else you have to press the gas and time it at 5km and try and switch it on there.

Okay so I have a 1996 Chevrolet Cheyenne 2500 4x4, and I have a strange issue that I have yet to find a video for... When I put it in 4H or 4L I hear a thumping sound right beneath my feet. When it’s in 2H it doesn’t make a sound, and 4WD does work despite the thumping. Can anyone tell me what the heck is causing the noise or what I should check for? Or post a link to a video explaining what it is and how to fix it? Trying to DIY it to save a small fortune.

in a Chevrolet transfer case when the truck is still moving it can cause slack in the chain in your transfer case that can cause the chain to bind and crack your transfer case housing in my experience as a mechanic and many years of off-road experience have had a lot of have worked on a lot of new process transfer cases in Chevrolet trucks
