What happened to grandma??? Also... tell your good for nothing neighbor to come snow blow your driveway and put down some salt. Then you have all the space you need to work on shifting.

So after reading this, I shifted from 2H to 4H a few times tonight for the first time being I only have my Jeep 3 weeks. Definitely took some effort. 4H back to 2H took much less effort. I noticed when I shifted into 4H, the 4H indicator in the dash blinked 3 times before going solid. Is this normal? I donā€™t recall my 17 JKU doing that.

I know lots of people have offered advice, which is great, but I think someone is punking the forum.

  • The Jeep has gone from MY 2018 to 2020.
  • They either have the FT 4WD or the PT 4WD. When asked, they said the T-case lever looked a bit like the FT pattern but was a bit different. That just doesn't work? It's one or the other.
  • No matter how many times they've been told just to move it a little bit in the garage, they can't seem to move it?

i donā€™t think Diggin herself ever said it was an ā€˜18. But yeah, people come on the forums then ghost all the time. I wonā€™t cast any stones because Iā€™ve probably registered for two dozen online forums in the last 20+ years and this is only one of two that I even still go to. I do try to conclude any threads I start tho.

I wish Grannie the best of luck, donā€™t care if sheā€™s real or not!

Where in Colorado are you located? Maybe I'm not far from you.
Estes Park. And we had snow ALL day--the second one in just four days. It's deep because it's on top of the foot that was laid down five days ago. So I decided to wait before seeing if I can move the jeep enough in reverse, while in the garage, to make that cemented shift work!! It's 3 degrees outside as i write this. And I am a prisoner due to that dang unmoveable stick and high snow. SO I can't go anywhere to even get the recommended PVC. I have made a plea for help to those who serve with me on the neighborhood road association group. But hardly anyone can drive on our road right now anyway.

No, from my first post, I stated I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. It's barely over 6000 miles when I got it several months ago, AND YES, I, "Granny" am real. I'm just not "old" as a "grandma" for what it's worth. lol. You will see from my other post that it has snowed a big amount again today over the previous 12" that happened 5 days ago. And it's 3 degrees outside as I'm writing this. So I am waiting for this snowfall to STOP and the temps to go up just a little before I go into the detached garage again and see if I can have enough room to be in reverse and loosen the cemented stick. I have doubts. But I'll see.

Aren't' you a jolly suspicious dimwit. Read my other posts to see what today was like.

Nothing happened to me, Grandma. Read my other posts about today. And I hired a guy to plow my somewhat long packed dirt driveway for the first time this week because of the snow. But I am UNIMPRESSED. He just does a plow up the driveway the length of his plow, which leaves a LOT of snow on both sides, and gets nowhere near the ground. And no, if you put salt on this deep of snow, it mainly just sits there and colors the snow. Been there, done that.

I tried shifting mine on the way home yesterday for giggles. It's always been stiff too, I took it to dealer when I got it asking if that was the way it's supposed to be.

I just discovered that pulling the shift lever to the left towards me while pulling back is much easier than just pulling straight back. I'd say it's at least 1/2 the effort while doing it that way (pulling left while pulling back).
