    when i put in first and step on the gas it jerks, there is some movement both forward and backwards. also its just the front tires that wont spin the rear is fine.isnt there supposed to be some way i can "unlock" it to where my 4wd wont work but my 2wd will ? i was told it could either be my gear box or my front differential. is there an easy qiuck fix ?

You need to have it towed to wherever you'll be having it worked on. It sounds to me like your transmission has locked up. Since you cannot shift and your wheels will not move. You'll probably have to have your transmission replaced, or fixed at the least.

I put 2014 rims on my 2010. Tire pressure issues. screen on the dash is showing psi's blank. how do I reset? I assume these 2014 rims would have stock sensors in them, and there basically brand new.

Some Chrysler ,Jeep and Dodge vehicles have ttye pressure sensors calibrated to the vevicle,so therefore if you change the
tyres to a different type you will need to take your vehicle to a C.J.D.
service department to have the computer of your car re-programmed to accept the new tyres

Tires changed and now 4wd lock flashing

Did you have same size tires put on ? With the light flashing there is a DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code stored , have to have diagnostic tool hooked up . That's the only way your going find out what the problem is .

2500 sierra HD 4wd is stuck in neutral. this is a manual shift, not electric. Had been working fine

Put main gears into 1st.
With a gentle foot on the clutch, you can hold pressure on the selector and slowly bring pedal up so you can 'feel' something moving with the stick. If it doesn't go in first go then 'rock the box' with clutch movement at that sweet spot where it just starts to engage (in and out) and it should drop in.

How to put a 95 or 96 jeep cherokee sport in 4 wheel drive. handle is left of the gear shift.

You can change on the run but as a general rule stop to change to 4wd.except 2wd to 4wd high.Just slow down to about 15mph and back off the gas.
2wd high is normal running
4wd high(is full time 4wd)this is slippery roads or muddy roads.
4wd high lock For bad and slower slippery and rocky roads.
4wd low lock is for extreme 4wd conditions
Don't use the last 2 on the main roads or transfercase will be damaged
Hope this helps
