Went on little R&R vacation upstate NY and had crazy problem.

First the transfer case motor must be on it way out. Couldn't get it to work and have 4wd service etc on dash. Got it to work by either turning off and restart or just turning ign on-shift neutral-cycle switches. Now leaving today I got a weird steering issue like it was ghost steering. Hard to center or even just to drive. Pulled over check steering fluid which I already did but thought maybe it was frozen. I let it warm up longer to warm up things. It was -6 degrees. I also checked everything and all seemed ok. Something had to have frozen. Took off slow and everything seemed to be ok. WTF..... Wife wasn't happy. Kids were laughing telling mom were going to freeze to death. First parking garage issue now this. I was waiting to get back from this vacation to do these things anyway but seems like I better get to it sooner then later. Changing all diff fluidsPut in new TC motorAnd I have these here waiting for install:All new beltsT-StatPulleys Oil change

Must be something wrong. I was up north in Michigan this last weekend and my truck was park outside all night and it was -14 without the windchill and my truck was fine other then it starting up slow and the brakes being slower to release. Hope you figure it all out.. Got to keep the wife happy....:gaah:

What the hell were you thinking? R&R in upstate New York? After a record-breaking snow fall? Take your Hummer's advice and never do that again!

(hint: Drive south next time...wife, kids, and Hummer will love you for it.)

I did a search and I did find others with same issue. Seems a front diff fluid change is in order. I highly doubt it was ever done so I'll jump on doing all fluids. Steerings been fine all day.

The 4wd I can't get to work not matter what I try. Made it home at least.

Yep. -5 Degrees in Orange County NY. Slow crank but but everything else was working fine. 140K+ on the odometer and still kicking winters ass. Of course now I just jinxed myself... :sigh:

Why, there's no one else on the road...they all slid and spun off to the side. [emoji12]

You sure it was not F&R (freeze and refreeze?).

4wd started to work again. But pulled codes from history. Code: C0276 and C0327.

Did is the diff fluid changes last night. No metal on a plugs and it was just muddy like. Doubt it was change in its 67000 miles of life.
