Transfer case issue????
Hey guys, I have a 2005 4Runner V8 AWD. I got it stuck in the mud a couple nights ago just around the corner from my house. I went to get my toe truck (wheel lift) and winch it out. In the process I noticed I had 2 flat tires so I picked it up from the rear and towed it home with the front whees dragging. I did t get over 5mph and had the truck running with the transmission in neutral. Park the truck on the street, spray it off the next day. I go to pull the truck into the drive way, with center diff unlocked, and it doesn't move. I'm hearing a whirling noise coming from the front end. Leave it in gear and check front, broken cv shaft in the joint. I lock the center diff and try it that way, thinking atrac will help me get it in the driveway. Said driveshaft spins and driver rear tire spins and atrac isn't working. Driver rear tire flat. I notice the brake, vsc, and traction light are on. I flip my switch to get atrac to work and it doesn't. Why are my lights on and will I have to take it to Toyota to get it fixed. Why is the transfer case grinding when moving from 4hi to 4lo and back to 4hi? It's a quick grind like the gears are moving when switching but stops after a second, literally.
