He put it up there where he could locate the noise better.
Admittedly, the transfer should have been done while on the floor.

But you're definitely right about accelerating while on the Lift, that could cause a real problem !

 

No I'm not trying to get myself killed. Haha.
But the car was on and the transmission was in neutral. Once it switched to 4wd, the wheels started spinning.

 

Sounds like he was cutting donuts in the snow.

Maybe he wound the muffler bearings too tite and just needs to go in the opposite direction to unwind them.

Seriously, I agree w/ those that said it's a bad idea to do it in 4WD Auto. His particular truck may not have a 4 High mode tho. In which case, no snow donuts.

It does do a good job of clearing the 6"-8" of snow out of a cul-de-sac. Don't ask me how I know.

 

I agree as well !
The way it may connect suddenly, bothers me, and I'd rather have it in 4WD or off, where I know what's going on.

 

Thank you for you help everybody. It might be time to just trade it in.

 

I am sure that someone on here that can provide you with a good deal on a 2013 Tahoe or Suburban, if you are ready to trade it in. If you do decide to purchase a new truck, get one with the two speed transfer case and use 4H when playing in the snow

The new 2014 Pickups will be arriving on dealer lots in early April. We will have to wait a while for the new Suburban / Tahoes, but I am sure that you should be able to find something that works for you.

Good luck.

 

The 2 spd transfer case became optional so you need to check to verify.
