Re: Transmission cut out?? Transmission problem??

In March I drove up to Kent Ohio to take my daughter back to College from spring break and I got the truck stuck in a snow bank at the campus. I put the truck and 4 High and I couldn't get out. I ended up putting the truck in 4 low and crawled out. I went to reengage the truck back into 4 H to drive home toward Youngstown on I-76 and I couldn’t get it to work. I tried several times with no luck. My 4x4 light did not light up. Originally I thought I blew out the 4wd al together. I drove the truck in 2wd back to Youngstown which is about a 35mile run. The truck had no weight such as sand bags except for the tool box which weighs about 55lbs. This was one of the worst snow storms that hit eastern Ohio. ODOT trucks could not keep up with the amount of snow falling. I called my son to meet me at a local Nissan dealership. After I let the truck cool down for about 10 minutes until my son arrived I got the 4x4 H to engage. Go figure. I lost confidence in this truck and thought about immediately trading it on a 2500 HD Chevy Silverado. The dealer replaced only the transfer case switch at no charge since the power train was still under warranty. The truck had about 42k when this occurred. Since then, it has never had a 4wd issue since nor has the transmission cut out. I still worry that this could happen in again during another snow storm.
