Ok so the other night I was out on a dirt road and came across an area with about 2 1/2 feet of snow. Basically just to the under side of the motor. Anyways I came to a stop and moved 4x4 selector switch to 4h. When it lit up I tried to move. Nothing happened except what seemed to be tire spin. I thought it odd but ok so I tried switching to 4L, and after waiting for it to indicate 4L I tried again to move. Nothing except my left side tires were spinning in the snow and right side were just kind of locked. Very little movement. I tried moving back out of 4L many times but the light would not change. And my ABS light came on. So I had a buddy drag me out of the snow(embarrassing). And once I was free of the snow all tires would now move but only in 4L regardless of what the indicator was switched to. After getting back out on to the main highway, about 100 yards or so, I stopped and made sure switch was in 2H (and it was) then when I accelerated it finally switched back into 2H. What could've caused all this headache? I appreciate any input. Thanks everybody.
