Q: Transfer case isues

asked by on November 10, 2016

So when my truck is in 4x4 and i accelarate there is a vibration that feels like its comming from the middle of the vehicle and the harder i accelarate the stronger it becomes, ive also noticed it has some dificulty shifting in and out of 4 lock so i have to keep switching back and forth for it to switch. Now i do know my tires are off ballance so i dont know if that would be a contributing factor to this situation
