Stuck in 4hi and hear clicking noise under hood

Could not drive up hill...so i put it into 4lo while parked. it got me up the hill...i then got n top the hill then put it into 2hi drove slow then picked up speed and it wouldnt go more then 30mps. so i put it back into park then pushe the 2hi button and things seem to be working fine after that....a couple days later it snowed really hard for two days...next morning while parked i put it into 4hi and then start driving.... bout 2miles out it the gas pedal had to have more force applied in order for it to actually show that i was going any faster. the rpms were high and the truck sound like i was going faster then i really was. so i then pulled over, put it into park and put it into 2hi....the problem got worse when i put it back into to drive. the rpms were at about 3000RPMS before i even switched the first gear i was going at about 10mph maybe less. still it sketched me out so i pulled over again, parked and started the process all over again in the 1st half mile since i when i had done it the first time. park, 4hi,2hi..still nothing. well so i drove at about 25mphs for a good couple miles and it started to **** and the rpms were increasing and decreasing at a fast fast pace. pulled over and sat. pressed 4hi, 2hi, all while pressing the brake everytime might i add (ive never used 4 whd anything before and nobody was answering their phones so i couldnt asked how to put it into 4hi or lo) i tried to put it into 4lo and the 4hi light would come on and the 4lo would blink and shut off..so i continued the prcess then slowly put it in drive, OD, N,R,P and then shut it off, started it back up ...all was ok. till yesterday night...i was the RpMS stayed at constant 1000 in park..... ? and when accelerating..it would rev and hit abot 3000rpms before it was up to 20mph!! pulled over parked it did the process and it went back to its norm. later in the day i was backing out of a heavily snowed in driveway and put it in 4wd and it started making noises that sounded like the muffler shaking and hitting the underside of the truck..that stopped and next came a noise from the front of the truck that would only sound off when accelerating even out of 4hi and in 2hi....then it just continued even when not pushing the gas pedal,,,? any ideas?! because i would put it in 4wd and starte to reverse and there were no sounds, she drove just perfet...but in a dive its a whole ther thing!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! so i drove real slow and the battery, oil,rpms gauges were all going up and down and just acting crazy. .....idk what to do...sorry for the novel :) figured every detail helped.

This all prove that engine and transmission co-ordination seems to be poor.

  1. check accelerator sensor.
  2. " accelerator pedal--transmission ctrl liver.
  3. " transmission oil level.
  4. " proper grade of transmission oil.
  5. " pressure ctrl walls

Most common problem is the vacuum diaphragm that is so inconviently mounted UNDER the battery tray.The cable that locks in the front diff is attached to it and vacuum pulls it in/out.

vacuum leak or vacuum locker solenoid problem. a great way to check for both is to remove both vacuum lines from the solenoid (located on firewall above destributor), and put a connector between them, push the button on the dash and see if it locks in.

2004 Blazer won't shift into four wheel drive. I put it in Neutral and push the 4HI button, the lights blink back and forth between 4HI and 4LO then goes back to 2HI. Any thoughts on what this can be?

ok what i would try is put the truck in park then try to **** into your 4wheel drive high or low, other than that with the computer thats on board you may just have a technical issue that can be solved at the dealership

You should be able to put in 4x4 while in drive less than 35mph. Mine had a switch to turn to engage or dis-engage.

4HI and 4LO light flashing 2000 Blazer LT

it is very possible that a wheel speed sensor is open or reading erratic, causing the ECM to override the 4WD switch. Borrow/rent/buy a scanner that will tell you this info,

Haven't used 4Lo for about 8 years and can't remember thew sequence to put it in 4Lo - is it gear in neutral then shift or is it keep moving and then put in 4 Lo ?

shift from 2wh to 4hi to neutral then 4lo all while in drive and moving slowly. The owners manual and repair books say you can actually damage the transfercase if the jeep is parked. You can go into 4hi at any driving speed, just not too fast!

!998 ford ranger stuck in 4x4

sounds like it's the motor is going bad or has a bad connection, try cleaning the connector if there isn't any gunk in the connector, check the manual see if there is a ohmn test you can run on the motor, if not i'd replace the motor.
