We had the 4 wheel drive high repaired 1 1/2 year ago, then it would not engage in the 4 wheel drive high again. They found another part when out in the motor causing it not to go into the 4 wheel drive high. Each time it costs us $700 or more for the repairs. We also had to repair the transmission last year, which costs us $1600 to repair!
