all wheel drive is four wheel drive , i think you mean back to 2 wheel drive , no way to bypass the four drive switch , have to take to a transmission specialist
Four wheel drive vehicles with inside the vehicle four wheel select buttons etc. have plug in four wheel drive control modules, you need to find where yours is located some are under the dash, behind the glove department. others are under the battery box..it can be a DIY job. they are somewhat expensive $ 200 or so..and come in so many modeks..you need to find the exact number of your modual even though you give your vehicle model they vary greatly due to vehicle options...without it your four wheel will not engage....garage cost will be approx $ 400++ so try and find it..Good luck..
most likely if this happened all of a sudden your gear shift cable is bad or had become detached if the shift er inside the truck feels very easy to move between gears it is the cable and the track has not showed signs of a bad transmission in the recent past see link Dodge Durango shift cable the easiest way to repair Kit includes...
If it has a floor mounted lever than it is shift on the fly for 4Hi,
however most people prefer to go slower or be fully stopped to make sure
it fully engages properly. To shift into 4-Lo, you have to be rolling
at about 3MPH with the transmission in NEUTRAL. On the floor mounted
shifter, firmly shift into Lo without pausing in neutral. Don't be
afraid to be forceful, it's designed to be engaged firmly and quickly.
there are 2 systems.
one is a part time system only.the 4x4 locks and is for ice mud and snow.Driving full time will damage the transfer case.The other system is a full time system and the selector says 2wd,4wd part time ,4wd full time and 4 lo. if in full time,it can be driven all the time even on dry roads.The full time is really an all wheel drive system.
the 4low is a very low gear and the main shifter has to be put in neutral and then the transfer case put in 4 low.attempting to put it in 4 low while in "drive" will make a gear grinding noise.
getting out of 4 low is the opposite.shifter to neutral and then put it in 2wd and then in drive.The newer durango has an electronic transfer case with a dial on the dash.The 2002 was available with 2wd,4wd,awd and 4 lo on a switch.The 1999 has the lever on the floor .
