I have 99 sr5 Highlander just had rear diff replaced witb new gears as we'll and both front wheel bearing too. The truck sounds so beautiful than before and runs smooth when shifting into drive and reverse doesn't clunk or nothing love my truck soo much till today ugh! Tried using 4x4 make sure everything working properly and bamm problem wtf....shifted 4x4 doing like 5mph and all suddenly comes to a hold you can hear the front tires screech to a stop like if I had to all sudden stop!!! And pulled over took 4x4 off got under tbe truck didn't look like anything broken so off I went ran beautiful again smooth shifting fine didnt even pass 2 thousand rpm. Pulled over on my street and transmission in Neutral and shifted 4x4 work fine like it always did. Tried pulling away and wouldn't move like if the brakes were passed in holding the truck back wtf soo left alone took off the 4x4 and drove to my house all beautiful again like nothing wrong at all..took for a spin about half hour later nothing wrong everything working smooth and correct again loving the new smooth ride and quite since bearing and all new and good. So wtf could it be????? This is my baby hate when she doesn't run like it should any thoughts? ??

Break up your sentences a little better so someone can actually read this and help you.

All I got out of this is "4wd go boom when I tried to use it"

Seriously. My brain just exploded.

:lol:

agreed. Should cut down on the drinking before posting technical questions....

on a constructive note; it sounds like your front dif / tranny is all sorts of F***ed up, whoever put it together needs to do it again, and follow the directions this second time.

if it comes down to it, take it to a !REPUTABLE! Shop to do the work! Toyota Dealer (stealership), is my #1 recommendation.... unless you don't need it done right the first time.... errrr second time.

:50cal:
 
After I scooped my brain off of the floor, it kinda sounds like the rear was regeared and is now a different ratio than the front. That could explain the binding in the drivetrain when 4wd is engaged.
