Let me start with transfer case fluid has 10k miles on it, and was serviced about 50k miles before the previous service, so I don't think it is fluid or service interval.
The issue started last year when I was driving with 4Hi on through some snowy bits, and then turned sort of sharply onto some dry pavement to park (so I wasn't moving very fast). There was a loud clunk but I didn't have other drivability issues but I didn't feel like 4wd was engaging after that. Like in other situations I would select 4Hi but didn't gain traction and just spun the one back wheel.
I didn't deal with it because I had other things but now interestingly it has actually seemed to work on occasion.
Tonight I was backing uphill and spinning the rear wheel, so I selected 4Hi and it didn't immediately engage, but then there was a loud clunk seemingly under the driver's seat and then I had 4wd.
So it seems like something in the transfer case but I don't know where else to start.
Thoughts?
Thanks
