Q: Possible 4wd issue
Hi, I got my 05 envoy (~140000) breifly stuck in some deep snow, when i put the car in 4hi i could hear it try and give power to the front wheels but they wouldnt spin. after i let off the gas i hear a clicking sound from the front as the rpms wound down. after rocking it out in 2hi I tested the 4hi again and it seemed to be working. My question is should i be worried that the front wheels wouldnt spin in 4hi
