Description of the problem	On this vehicle, i rarely use 4wd, except in winter conditions. I could not get the vehicle out of 4wd low back into 4x2, even while the foot was on the brake and in neutral. I attempted to drive over a small pile of shoveled snow at the end of my driveway entering a city street and i shifted it into 4wd low. The vehicle was in neutral and the brake was applied. It made a horrible grinding and then a "thud" from the powertrain and lurched forward. After i was out of the driveway i decided to take it out of 4wd low, so i stopped, and with the brake applied, i shifted to neutral and then selected 4wd high. The vehicle advised to pull forward so i shifted to drive and nothing happened. The vehicle would not move and had a very high rpm. And the speedometer started climbing. I then shifted back to neutral and then tried reverse. Same result, i got the same, no movement high rpm and then all of a sudden the gears started to grind horribly! I immediately shifted back to neutral. I even attempted to shift to 4x2, but still would not move. It seemed as it was stuck in between gears. I then had to get out of the vehicle while in neutral and pushed the vehicle forward, as this is what the onboard system was saying. It wanted you to pull forward, but nothing was engaged to let you pull forward. No other option than to push. After a few tries of this pushing and shifting method, it finally decided to catch and it slammed back into 4wd high, but it also sounded like the front end of the truck was being ripped apart at that point. It was in gear for me and moving again though, and i was able to shift it back into 4x2 immediately.
