Here's a 205 question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Did some wheeling today after I replaced the axle u-joint and spindle bearing on the short side, just to make sure all was well. Everything worked well until I went to 4low. The front would spin, but not the rear...? So I backed off, cycled the shifter, this time with a little more muscle. Same thing happens. So repeat of the cycle, and the rear engages. I have never had the front engage, but not the rear, on anything, much less a np 205. Some times the 205 must be encouraged to go into 4low, but once in, it is either in or out. Any thoughts? How can the front axle only turn in 4low?
