Uh-oh. Mine got a little stuck today in 4HI, but everything still works. I think my fluid might be lower than anticipated.

No, I was having trouble getting out of 4HI once. After I turned of the truck and cycled again, everything was fine. But I'm going to try to keep it in two wheel until I give it a once over.
