most say to back up at least 6 ft to make it easier to get out of 4 low and into 2h
I realize after reading through all of the responses again that I am still unclear on one point. Should I do this back up before or after turning the knob inside the cab from 4WD low to 2WD?
The 6 feet thing is for auto hubs which is an older thing. You should switch back to 2wd when in neutral, then put in in drive and pull forward while turning the wheel a little. If it’s still in, shift to reverse and back up a bit. Usually 2-3 feet is enough.
Moving with the wheels turned means the front driveline turns further than the rear. In 4wd, that’s what causes the binding. Trying forward and reverse will unbind without knowing which way it was bound.
