Hit a phone pole, need your help!
hey yall, the truck is stuck in 4x4 low. and it seems that the a.b.s. is stuck or something. Earlier i was thinking i could do it myself, but i better go by AAMCO and see what's up.
about the incident:(no camera as of now)
as i came over a hill i hit some ice. there is no weight in the bed. Started sliding, wasnt going fast. Hit the pole on the front right corner. headlight and foglight gone, and bye bumper, and the hood is bent-ish. slight concussion to top it off. could be worse i guess.
i need some support here guys
thanks

The sudden stop associated with the utility pole probably damaged or disconnected and ABS sensor on that side of the truck. Hopefully finding it and plugging it back in will fix that.
The transfer case's electric shift motor tends to be the bain of everyone's existence at some point in life. If you follow the proper shifting procedures and it still won't shift, check the connection behind the switch and at the transfer case. In my personal experience stuck on a beach with the truck in 4lo, beating on the transfer case with a tire iron not only relieved stress but it made it shift.

thanks Paul, Kevin, John and Matt. I've been MIA from the forums for a while due to school and what not, so really, thanks. i hope i can fix the problems tommorow.
Then i can get home to focus on the body damage.
This is really my first accident and I was thinking i was not going to report it to my insurance.
Whats your opinion on that?

I wouldn't if I were you. You're going to have to pay the deductable anyway so the insurance won't make this a free fix. Then you have to factor in how much your rates are going to go up for crashing. It will likely be cheaper to pay for the repairs yourself. Your insurance rates will go up so high, it will cost you more by reporting it.

or you can disconnect the wires then undo 3 bolts, remove the little motor, and turn with a pair of pliers. a little better method in my opinion.
