Well you better find out fast, cause that tcase does not like to be run in
4HI on dry roads. Try to find a gravel road, parking lot etc..........or
just somewhere you know you would typically spin the tires/lose traction if
in 2WD. Then engage it in 4WD and see if you have traction or if it is the
same. I would imagine you still have warranty on that 2000, so if it is
acting up, take it in right away. Heck, I cant even engage 4HI/4LO in my
Dak! Looks like a tcase rebuild.......
